ORIGINAL: mgdartist @RiotGirl - how sweet. Thanks for the offer, but given the choice of getting head from dommes, I'd rather watch cows fuck. Granted perhaps about the hug, but that's nothing I'd be so naive to come to this forum for, and in fact isn't why I came to cm in the first place. Tho I didn't at first seek to be insulted, have my heterosexuality questioned, and observe those I presumed would be the most upbeat, funloving and intensely happy folk in the world, turn out to be the lot of back-biting, critical, disgruntled and intractible group they are. So I've then adjusted and now feel right at home, thank you. Unfortunately there are so many forums, newsgroups etc out there that treat newcomers the same. Its understandable that there will be cliches and strong connections between some groups of members. There are two over used analogies out there that I believe perfectly mimic forum (any forum or newgroup) "life". The first is the "hazing" - often joining a new group is like joining a "????" (damn memory has gone blank, but I think most yanks will know what I am thinking of). There is an initiation of sorts. The other analogy is the party or school social one where there are many different sets/groups of established friendships. Joining a forum is akin, IMO, to being a stranger walking into a school social. Some groups will point at laugh at your differences and poke fun. Others will simply ignore you and others again will sit back and observe before deciding whether or not to approach. There are also those that will welcome you. You cant really walk up to any of the groups and instantly join in and feel part of them. You dont get any of the "in" jokes, or "remember when" references etc. Its an adjustment time. You need to see where you fit, and sometimes you will never "get" some jokes and they wont be explained. Me? I tend to walk up to and into a group, thats my nature. Often it back fires. And yes your right the icecream cone is like a red flag to some posters LOL. <and before I get accused at attempting to attack or have a dig at anyone here, I'm not>
