I've heard that MzChrista's quite lovely, Zip; you might want to rethink your....position.

I think I could bring her back from the Dark Side....

Good luck to you in your Assignment.

And Mz:

Im thinkin I might auction you off and make a profit.

I'll take that as a compliment, 'k?

stands up to be counted

To return to the original point of this thread:-
I feel that it is sad that Rose feels as she does. I can certainly attest to the fact that if you are regarded as a "newbie" around here you often get ignored. Now before anyone starts up saying I am having a whine, let me clearly state that it does not bother ME. However, I do know some that it does. I think many of us do.

To address the specific point...as one who IS a het Dom Male.....I often do not add to posts because I feel that what I would say has already been said.I am not one of those who feels the need to post for egotistical reasons.

Having said that, I can appreciate that this could appear to be lack of interest, and if that has contributed to Rose's feelings then I apologize to her and others like her.

We are a small community and should be a) supportive of each other and b) not so ready....or even seeking for....reasons to take offence at another poster. Often the only "crime" is of poor expression of ideas...and hell, we all do that some times.

In future therefore I will do things a little differently. If a post seems to address people like me then I will put a short post..even if only to underline an earlier contribution. THAT way, the original poster will at least have a response and indication of interest. What I will not do is quote earlier posts at full length and ad nauseum. That is anathema to me, but I will respond.

Lets be nice to each other, okay boys and girls ??

Thanks for bringing this one up Rose.

Very nicely said. Thank you.

My pleasure Des.
and thank you for the response.<<<<<smile>>>>

[CarolineOh]

That was a classy answer, Dave. May I make a suggestion? If you find a question to be of interest, but feel previous posters have covered what you would have said about it, perhaps you could send a PM to the person who asked the question, thanking them for raising such an interesting subject.

 

[Trainerman]

Thats a very

good point CarolineOh. It is certainly something I have done and will continue to do so.

I do not know if that would have helped Rose...and in any case I am minded that this board needs people to stand up and be counted. New posters need a little public response and encouragement, I think.

Some not so new posters are, I think, deserving of support also.
As I said...I think it is time to stand and be counted, and I am certainly prepared to do so.

Now, please excuse me while I go and load the heavy artillery and check the rangefinder !! << wink..no the sights are not set on you, ok?>>>

Re: Re: No this is not it

Well, I'm glad you've found peace. There aren't many more het Doms other than me and Richard and he's been sick. There are a few that stopped by in the Lounge, but they don't post often. If you PM me with a question, I'll try to answer.

I was going to post that I had been away ill
and am now licking new wounds ..... Thanks WD for posting this

BTW I am not sure what a het Dom is
(so paint me stupid and wounded)

I would rather share a female sub with them

Het Dom:

Noun; Old English; Slang; Used to describe a Male who enjoys dominating women sexually. May be extended to imply Sadistic tendencies as well.

Note: Appears to be an endangered species on some Literature forums.

I am not fond for "me too" posts.
However I like to see what people think
It is the only way here that we get to know each other.

Well every sub I know in RT has a Dom or is leaving the lifestyle ... so what does that say?

[Lancecastor]

In July I would have been at the big Cherry Festival and seen Foeigner & Kansas (For a laff), George Benson and Natalie Cole (for real).

This fall I'd enroll in some modern dance classes at NMC....

I'd be planning a trip somewhere like Montreal or San Fransisco...

I'd be at local singles dances if I were you, too.

Kink is everywhere......just go do the things you like to do.

You know the drill!

Read this again.
If this isn't the biggest pile of compost-post, nothing is. A display of sniveling, whining, self serving shit, by one sniveling, whining, self serving wannabe-but-not-quite-can-be sub. This should deliver a fatal blow to her fragile little girlie ego, but if not, I can dig deeper in my bag of tricks.

As you know, I lurked for a month before I posted in here. I wanted to get a feel for the ideas expressed and IF they would be helpful to me regarding those things I felt I needed to learn and improve on. I also wanted to get a feel for the individuals posting here (the people I felt who would be open to answering my questons and understanding my naivete, kind people, if you will.) I discovered 6 individuals that I felt would be welcoming to me and would accept my overtures and my questions and kindly direct me.

I posted a bit and even got brave and PM'd a few of them. And as I had hoped, those 6 people were as friendly and kind and helpful as I had thought they would be. I felt welcomed and embraced and somewhat understood by them, as understood as one can ever be in an online atmosphere in which people don't REALLY know one another.

I felt left out and ignored by the women in here. Certain females here would not respond to my posts. I was/am not sure why that happened. However, it's no longer germaine to my train of thinking. I decieded that my opinions were valid, my questions were not stupid ones and they could ignore me and it would be fine with me. I never posted an unkind thing towards anyone. And I never will. I won't engage in forum arguements. I read a post and if I don't agree, I will usually not respond in any way.

I wanted to learn from the Doms. I wanted to nuture that part of me that was awakened only a short couple of years ago. I posted threads directed at the het Doms, for my benefit. Yes, for MY benefit. I wanted so to learn what I had failed at and how not to make those same mistakes again. There is already a wealth of information here from subs and I appreciate it and I read it, but there seemed to be so little input from the Doms. So, this was my reason for asking them (the Doms) to give me their views on this lifestyle - and how to make it successful for me.

Who responded to my threads? Dommes and subs. Occassionally Artful. Maybe my threads were too simplistic. Maybe they were too childish. Maybe they were old and worn out topics. Maybe for whatever reason, the Doms don't like me. I have no idea. But I have learned more from the Dommes than anyone here. (Thank you Eb, MsWorthy and Shadowsdream.)

**** Now we arrive at the real purpose of this thesis: I am hurt that I have been ultimately shunned and ignored by the het Doms in here, aside from Artful, who has been very kind and supportive. I will not throw barbs at any one of you. You are all smarter and quicker witted than I. I cannot even begin to compete in an intellectual battle with any one of you. Furthermore, it is counter-productive to do so. And it is passive/aggressive behavior. I will not be accused of that by men who do not know me. I have here stated my feelings on this matter and respectivly so. I will say no more about it. I am not a flamer.

I did not post this thread to be provocative, or to start an argument or to glean responses from any one of you. I have been posting for a month, reading for a month before that and I have an opinion or 2. This is one of them. This is how THIS newbie feels about the level of acceptance in this forum, especially from the het Doms. I have asked for education and information and you have ignored me. This is not a "poor me" thread. It was written to bring to attention to how this newbie views the level of acceptance here.

I am not passive/aggressive. I have, what I think, is a dry, wry and sometimes slightly sarcastic sense of humor. (like that aliteration?) I am not a pillow princess. I yam what I yam- a work in progress, a woman who wants to be the best she can be in a lifestyle she feels is right for her. I know who and what I am, I need not explain myself to anyone.

I will continue to read here, call it lurking if you like. I may even post occassionally. However the het Doms, have shown me my place in this forum and I will stay there. They can analyze me and dissect my words and determine I am neurotic or in the words of one -"a wounded bird" or that I am passive/aggressive or a pillow princess or a mattress maven or a liar. They can post threads that are more inflammatory than educational, in my opinion, i.e. Are you a Pillow Princess? And they can ellude to whomever they think fits that particular title. Perhaps it is me, however, I know who I am, and that is all that matters in the end.

Just an opinion peice- MINE,
Rose

I see that we have an unregistered troll following Rose around.

I will simply state that the underhand and cowardly use of hiding behind the lack of a screename makes it all too readily apparent that the views expressed are utterley worthless.

So come out and own your opinions or run away like the gutless wonder you are. You have no courage and you have no honour.

I note your threat to dig into your bag of tricks again. Well, if they are all of this standard that is no threat at all. Pathetic...and in any case I would like to think that while there are others of us around to support Rose and those like her, then she/they will find it easy to treat the likes of you with the contempt you so richly deserve

 

[Guest]

Pathetic is a good word to describe her and her mudane, whiny opinions. This is the best post there is for illustrating that. She can't fight back. She is not able to.

Actually, and with all due respect, if the two weren't such good buds, Unreg has almost the same type/style of humor that Lancecastor has.

Ironic how folks here think Lance is funny and this person somehow isn't. To me, the brand of humor is one and the same.

Oh well, on to more interesting things ~

Re: Re: to unregistered

To me, it's not a question of content....Free Speech says we can and will see things here we don't like.

I personally find it hilarious that someone is actually afraid of sullying their anonymous Lit identity ....so they adopt another one for insults!

Like anyone could possibly care any more or less about your first anonymous ID calling someone a cock-tease or whatever instead of your second ID doing it!


Ha! Fuckin' maroons.....
