Celeste: I hear you. I commented on this pheomenon on another thread today. I don't see it as often, but sometimes it can be really annoying.
I don't get why I should have to "dumb down", just because someone seems surprised I can make an occasional intellgent comment. I do find it patronizing.
I also find it to be a mark of insecurity.
And that's not exactly the hallmark of a "Domly Dominant" - is it?
It's not like I've identified myself as an "Age-player" in my profile. I don't need to be addressed as one might a five year-old.
I appreciate some recognition of myself as a thinking adult to begin with, not someone dwelling on it, as if it is some exception to the rule.
Not to mention, as you say, that I am not their personal submissive. Their approach seems to lack the consideration of the idea that submssives are all individuals, with their own personalities.
If they're simply trying to be complimentary, that's one thing, and can be nice.
If it goes overboard,and they keep doing it, I consider it their personal "issue" (not mine), and no way am I going to throw fuel on the fire, 'cuz I've got better (mostly) things to do.
Then again, there are those occasional moments, it can be fun to play along, just to see how much weirder the conversation (if that's what one can call it) can become, out of sheer curiosity.
- Susan
