Are you a lurker?

I don't mind PMs, and while what I wrote is true, it's kind of hard to connect with "hi" or some of the asshatery that people send. I'm still getting the hang of things around here. :)

The ass-hatery is a pain. In my case, because it makes me very reluctant to PM people knowing that they probably already receive more PMs than they want, and most of those are probably moronic. I find myself reluctant to add to that, even if I at least try to keep my asshat-moments-to-word-count ratio pretty low.
 
I am lurker here, but as one can see by my post count, I post a lot...:). I'm a PG gal. :)

If you are sincere, I don't see how your PM can be construed as asshat. You come across as genuine in this thread.

The PMs I am most likely to respond to are friendly, thread related threads.

Or the extreme. Cause, they are just fun to fuck with.

It has happened, a good few times (though not always thankfully). Sometimes replies come through to PMs that I've sent that are exaggeratedly aggressive or abrupt, which I prefer to ascribe to PM fatigue on their part rather than any desire to be rude.

Or maybe they're just fucking with me :D
 
I'm generally a lurker...I like to read. But from time to time will post on various threads if so inclined or encouraged
 
I'm a lurker most of the time.
Sometimes I'm a poster.

*poof*
You're a poster!

Shamed Into The Open

Well, I just read this entire thread...I think that qualifies as a lurker. But I picked the wrong thread today, it was a trap intended to capture the likes of me and my kind! I should have been quick enough to see it, as one by one the others of my clan we're lured into the open and snared by the invisible rope of public shame. So now I too must be paraded and made to confess my pitiful past...

I came here long ago simply to write some stories. It's free and so much fun! But then temptation drew me further into the den, and oh the new things I learned then! I come and g...wait, not that; I visit and I leave, but am always drawn back. Often the anger and vitriol has made me tense, but I learned where most of that exists. I'm a very inclusive lurker though, there's not many places I won't go...especially if I'm cloaked and safe. Sometimes I post, but mostly just read. It's helped a lot and helps me see, that no one is just exactly like me. I love that thought and say it a lot, unique is a very special word to me.

It seems to me this is a safe place to be...who would have thought; a BDSM Cafe?

PS: I also learned from this thread that I can turn off the light that says I'm here. Makes it easier to lurk and pop in where I can.
 
Are you a lurker? Do you spend time reading, perhaps even messaging people but never really post? Or maybe you post a lot in one forum but lurk around in others?

I have to admit I'll read through a thread, which takes me to another thread, which takes me to someone's profile and suddenly an hour's gone by.

Fess up.... do you lurk?



Yes. Just a habit of real life, I can easily be noticed or not and I enjoy to see what people have to say. I normally don't care to explain myself or why I agree or disagree, mostly because I don't care what others think.

But you seem nice, interesting, and have a curiosity about lurkers...

I am glad this thread lured you into the open, and that a discussion early on taught you about invisible mode.
Happy lurking... AND posting. :rose:

From what I've read of your posts in that awesome Humiliation thread -- my ploy to shame you in to posting worked!

Thanks for satisfying my curiousity. :cattail:
 
I definetly lurk here and sometimes in the "Dungeon" of craigslist. I enjoy reading the kinky stories and experiences of different people. Sometimes I step out of the dark to interact at different levels.

Your photo thread has had me lurking too...I've been working on photos lately and will try to post some when I get a chance, with your permission.

:rose:

Yes, it seems you shame me no matter where I might run into you...first as a fraud for waxing poetic about humiliation...and now as a lurker....a Lurking Fraud, wow! I'm glad my dear mother isn't here to witness this :eek:
