resa, I've seen you at at least one social, and that probably makes you more authentic than 90% of the folks on this site. Not that *I've* seen you makes you authentic (silly!), but that you've been out there in the big wide world where people are swinging floggers and such. I somehow doubt that the same can be said of your inquisitor. A_G The bottom line here is, people are people. The same assholes in vanilla are usually the same assholes in the scene. As A_G stated, there are many folks who have never been out of their house, who for whatever reason use WIIWD purely from a 'fantasy' perspective on the internet, to fill in the holes in their lives. It's easy to sit back and be 'Master' in front of a computer. It's much more difficult to know how to act, to understand the protocols of the scene, with no experience. Therefore, these people (mostly 'Dom' men in my experiences) have a skewed idea of Domiance, confusing it with Domination rather than understanding Power Exchange. Hense, when you don't do or react exactly as they'd like, you are a fake or not really a submissive. Don't let the bastards get you down. Recently, I had a junior Dom accuse me of not being submissive in order to rationalize his own behavior. Insecure people tend to point fingers at others in order to elevate themselves. Lack of sincerity is not an attractive quality on either side of the whip, and I hold myself to pretty high standards and don't tolerate that kind of thing in my life. People are allowed to be as fucked up as they want, that's not my business; however, when their crap spills over into my life, it becomes my business and I walk away. Apparently, having a brain, having opinions and having the emotional strength to challenge selfish, selfcentered men who decide the way to fix their problems is calling themselves Master are 'unsubly' qualities to these men who haven't mastered themselves. Oh well. Lily
