IMO, he is displaying his ability to "be Dominant" for all to see, maybe to lure potential submissives to read his profile or otherwise contact him. Yeah it can bug me, too. I mostly try to ignore it. For the record, I don't consider Michael to be patronizing. Somone else, however (not on this thread) does definitely spring to mind. Chill - he was joking, for heaven's sake (at least IMO). Occasionally, if the thread is about some topic I have a passion for and am deeply participating in, I've gotten just as oozingly patronizing in return, which can be amusing, especially if it's then reciprocated, and he never catches on this is what I am really doing. I know this response on my part is kinda petty, and possibly passive-aggressive as hell, but if his over-patronizing ways really bug me, I do find it in a small sense of consolation - since he isn't usually aren't relating to my comments on any individual-personalized level anyway. I find it more amusing that he doesn't seem to catch on, frankly. - Susan
