ORIGINAL: Mavis The excuse of tagging a profile to come back to later won't wash.. If you copy and paste the data, it won't be lost if the profile owner edits the text in an hour. Bookmarking it is no guarentee that quote you can't just write down will still be there in a day. ... There is no legitimate reason to bookmark a "taken" profile you don't have interraction with unless you're expecting a sudden change in her availability status and you want to keep tabs on that. Fool Thyself, so at least someone is fooled. You're suggesting that everyone should ignore that tool and instead just download every page they can find on the internet that they might want to look at again someday? Not really, but someone suggested "saving a quote" and that's very different. If you're expecting the quote to be unedited, that's a silly assumption. "saving a quote" requires a static copy (save) whereas the other reason You list below here would require the live ongoing edits version, (bookmarking or Admirers listing) quote:
I've bookmarked profiles in the past specifically because someone came on the forum with such an obviously horrific relationship problem that I wanted to check back in a few months to read about how badly it ended. Not very nice of me, but train wrecks can be entertaining. Saving the page as it existed then wouldn't accomplish anything, and I certainly wouldn't want to get involved with someone whose judgement was that bad. Smiles. re-states: "you're expecting a sudden change in her availability status and you want to keep tabs on that" That's the same thing, maybe different motives, but is still waiting to check the status of this relationship later. Not that it's a crime, but the OP didn't admit to either case. i think the other Dom involved assumed something like those motives and that set him off. Nice or not, it's no diff from reading a post and thinking "let's see what other garbage this nutter has gotten in" and clicking to read their posting history. Been there, done that <grins> quote:
If you don't want people bookmarking your profile, then don't have a profile. If you're so "taken" that others shouldn't even be allowed to look at you, then there's really no need for a public profile. You can control your own behavior (and that of your slave), but please don't try and tell other adults what they can and can't do. Complete agreement on that! i was just saying in this case, i don't think the OPs motives were so pure. Normally, i wouldn't even attempt to devine others motives, but His post essentially said, "Lookit here, I'm a good guy and this guy is an ass, judge my behavior" .. so i did. What's funny is the behavior of both Doms is so not important, but once the discussion begins, it's much more about defending our stances than anything else. i really don't want to do that because my stance is based on my reaction to this single scenario, and as You and O/others have pointed out, there are different reasons for similar events that i might view completely different.
