Thank you, now one more question.

Oh, that's beyond me. I can only answer the simple questions I'm afraid!

You are not unique either, fuck wad. Age means nothing, when it comes to living your life. You don't know me, and I don't know you, but all I know is that people come here to enjoy themselves, and check things out. You don't have to be 50 years old, for people to hear what you have to say, about a topic.

You don't own literotica, this is a place for people to come and enjoy the topics being discussed. I know some people your age. That get mad and jealous of me, because I've had more dates off dating sites by NOT posting photographs and protecting myself, by sending pictures through my phone. How is it that my 45 year old roommate also dates guys off dating sites, but she puts all her pictures up? Isn't she supposed to have more common sense, based on her age?

The world may never know, so next time you write, make sure it grabs the readers attention. I read like four sentences of you writing, and suddenly my pussy got really dry.

PS: I type fast too, 70WPM, I just graduated college, with my administrative assistance, certificate. So the next time you want to judge someone, try judging yourself. My grammar is still a little bit fucked, but atleast I try.

Wow. i call a troll.

I'm not judging the guy, but when you single certain people out, and you tell them, "You are not unique!" That isn't very mature. Why should I behave myself around him?

And this, in case I get any more emails saying 'why do you think i'm a troll' is why i think you're a troll. You say you're not judging him, but you call him a fucktard.

I may be a bitch, but I stood up for myself.

Um, no you're not even worthy of the bitch title, as all you did is revert to kindergarten and start calling names. "You're a pooopy-head!" Defending yourself, would involve you actually defending YOURSELF instead of attacking someone else. Add to that, you didn't defend yourself as he didn't attack you. Put your ego back in your pocket, not everything is about you.

It depends on the thread, if it's got regular posts we don't mind it being posted on, and if it's relevant sometimes we don't mind. However, a year is definitely old, I'd say six months is old, but sometimes a month isn't old.

And to explain it to you, the reason that the bumping of old threads annoys us, or at least me, is that it litters the top page so I have to weed through it to find the threads that I haven't read.

I like rules and I love protocols.
Is because I am English or is it because I am submissive...*muses*

Call me a silly git, but I like to think the tail doesn't wag the dog. It's because you like rules and protocols and are submissive that defines what is British (sorry, can't say "English" it just sounds wrong).

Lol, I say English, because the Scots, Welsh and Irish have very different perspectives and I am 100% English
We aren't all submissive.... But hell I love things being done right!

Well, yes, of course. If the whole country was submissive then it wouldn't be a very happy country unless another domineering country took over! heh

I meant to imply that domination/submission are aspects of (some of) the British, but now I am guessing you are saying that the English are a subset of the British people? Something I wasn't aware of if that is the case, but I don't claim to be all-knowing.

Indeed, I like a certain propriety about the way things are done. Life shouldn't ALWAYS be a new learning experience.

Not a subset, an entirely different country/culture. Over time and battles we all got lumped together as the United Kingdom, but we are very different.

Britain has been pretty dominant historically (remember the empire ) but we do like things "just so"

Um... I'm going to contradict that "subset" doesn't mean or imply "lesser" or "small percentage". It simply means "a part of" and doesn't have any relevance at all as to how large (or small) a portion it is, thereof.

However, I think we have well and truly gotten off-topic to the thread, and will consider this tangential topic closed; thereby adhering to my perspective of; the rules.

Nicely tied back into the OP's topic, eh?

Thank you, now one more question.
How old is old? Month or year?

How about getting the context?

If the question is:"What can I cook tomorrow?" then a week is old.

If the the question is:"Help me pick an engagement ring!" then a month is old.

If the question is:"What is the purpose of life?" and you have something to add which wasn't said before already in other words and is not a joke, then it might be viable to bump a 10 year old thread. But that's the only case I can imagine.

Honey, I defended myself. Read the bottom. I let him know a little bit about myself, what type of certificate I received. Is that not, caring about myself?

Sometimes, you have to use adult language to get your point across. It doesn't mean I'm attacking him as a human. I just didn't agree with some of his points. Now you on the other hand, that's a different story. I curse at men, all the time, online, and in real life. I could care less, if you or anybody doesn't like it. That doesn't mean I don't respect them. I respect them a lot more then I do you.

If I wasn't a bitch, you wouldn't have responded at all. You would have ignored it. Isn't that what your supposed to do with uncool people? ignore us? just because we don't fit into your community?

If anybody should grow up. It's you, life is about disagreement. If you don't like it, ignore it. If it gets out of hand, delete it. I don't care. I'll just find another thread, and share my opinion.

Very well said.

To those who might read this thread for its information about bumping, there are topics and there are topics. Most topics in the BDSM Talk forum are usually worth reading. And, with the influx of new people coming in, it can be beneficial for some of those older threads to be bumped. But, not all threads are worth bumping and if you really need information, our BDSM Library is just as good of a place to check on the various topics. Checking out that library can be just as good as weeding through the older threads.

Like Primalex has said, if you have something new to add...something that is pertinent to the thread topic, something that you feel others will find interesting, feel free to bump the thread with a post. But, it might be just as good to read and absorb for yourself, if there is a chance you might piss someone off. Even the best of us tend to piss people off, from time to time. Maybe this thread is one of those times.

Now, in the cafe, the topics are a lot more diverse and many of them were only intended to last for a short time. While they might have been great threads at the time, it wasn't long before people lost interest. There's nothing wrong with that type of thread, but they should be in the cafe.

And if you find an old thread that talks about someone choosing an engagement ring, one would hope that thread only lasted a short while and then quickly lost interest, once the ring choice was made. Bumping an old thread like that to suggest a type of stone 10 years later could piss people off. Shit, because of how old the thread is, many of the posters might no longer even post here. Sorry to use the thread that caused the first tiff as an example, but it was a very good example.

People do bump old threads from time to time. Sometimes it's difficult to judge if it's worthy of bumping or not. Some might enjoy the bump and others might see it as unnecessary. If someone is going to go around bumping old threads, there is a certain amount of risk that goes along with it. That risk will be far greater, if you bump a thread in the cafe.

Not that an old thread in the Talk forum would be free from any risk, but we try to keep those threads more worthy of being read again and again. But, as Primalex has said, bumping an old thread entitled "What is the purpose of life?" might still require some new thought about the topic before bumping.

How is it that my 45 year old roommate also dates guys off dating sites, but she puts all her pictures up? Isn't she supposed to have more common sense, based on her age?

The world may never know, so next time you write, make sure it grabs the readers attention. I read like four sentences of you writing, and suddenly my pussy got really dry.

PS: I type fast too, 70WPM, I just graduated college, with my administrative assistance, certificate. So the next time you want to judge someone, try judging yourself. My grammar is still a little bit fucked, but atleast I try.

Well, it seems my dry sense of humor has come back to bite me, yet again. People who don't know me, don't know my humor. Let's see if I can make sense of this for you.

When I said you were not unique, I was talking about the way you said you read through threads. It was not intended to be a put down, it was meant to show you that you were very much like everybody else in that respect.

Age does have its benefits, but finding a date isn't always one of them. I don't know how the topic got to that, but somehow it did. I said I was wiser, but wise doesn't always get you dates. And saying I'm wise doesn't mean I'm better in all ways. It just means I've made my mistakes and so I know more about some things. Whether those things come through in a text thread post, I don't know. Probably not.

As for reading my stories and not finding them interesting, that's fine with me. I've received my share of emails from people who didn't understand my writing process, didn't like anal sex, didn't like adding women to the D/s experience, didn't like how I demoralized women and on and on. But, if you look at the red H that's beside many of them, that tells me I'm doing something that interests people. that H stands for HOT, by the way.

But I know my style of writing doesn't thrill everybody and if you don't enjoy my writing, I appreciate your point of view. Just like when people don't like what's on TV, I don't understand why they complain. Just change the channel. If enough people feel the same way, eventually the station will loose ratings and advertisers will pull their ads, ultimately causing the station to rethink its choices.

Complaining, protesting, berating and name calling isn't going to work for you. You're just seen as a complainer and won't be taken seriously. On this forum, you might even be labeled a troll. So, I pissed you off. I'm sorry. That wasn't my intent. I think the better thing to do would have been to politely ask me for a clarification. Then, I could have clarified my intent and maybe we would end up friends. But, as you can see, that hasn't happened.

I'm not saying it still isn't possible, but tempers can rage out of control on this kind of forum, because you can't see facial expressions, body language or hear voice inflections in a text post. I'm sorry but smilies offered here don't compensate for those necessities, when trying to understand someone's feelings, reading their posts. This is why I said at the beginning of this post that my dry sense of humor has come back to bite me again.

My advice to you would be (waiting for the gasps, jeers and laughs to die down), don't lash back at people by calling them names. At least not until you are sure they meant you harm. Then, once you know they meant you harm, all deals are off...call them what you will. But, jumping to that conclusion without knowing for sure doesn't look good. Trust me, I've been there and I'm wiser for it.

 

[Dyslexicea]

Hey, if I wasn't old, I would resent being called an old man! But I am old. And from your description of how you post, that's probably the way many people here do it. You are not unique. But, being just a kid of 28, I'm much wiser than you (age has it's benefits), and know that you will eventually fall into the same "hey you kids, get off my grass" some day. It's coming for us all. I'm sure you have some time left, but you will eventually have to suck it up like everybody else.

Why are my posts sometimes long? I can type very fast. It comes from being old and wise and from typing for a very long time. Read my posts or not, that's your choice. Just be nice in the forums and follow the rules.

I don't think wisdom has much to do with age. I do think of you, others also, as being wise and I've learned from reading your posts. Although you may be older I just can't think of you as being an old fart.

As far as how the BSDM board is run I couldn't agree with you more. It works because it has rules, not that I always obey them, whereas some of the other boards are a free for all, with very little contend worth reading or participating in.

First off, let me clarify that I don't consider myself to be an old fart, either. I think I have a few years to go before I'm there. I've still got some good BDSM years left in me, too. Of course, there are some who will look the other way, because I'm not a buff guy. Oh, well.

The reason I say I'm wiser because of my age is just because I've experienced a lot of life. If only through osmosis, I should have experienced enough of life to learn answers to things someone younger might not know. Sure, some people don't retain what they experience though life, but I do. I think experience is the greatest teacher.

Now, whether people appreciate my point of view or not is up to them. And some people do resent someone trying to help them. I was that way, when I was young and stubborn. I thought I knew it all. But with age, I've learned I was just a green kid. I'm not tooting my own horn here, just explaining my point of view. I should stop posting like this, or this thread will get moved to the cafe!!

Wow. What world do you live in? You weren't attacking him as a human? You are so full of it. Once again, you can't call someone ... what did you call him? A fucktard ... I can't recall. You don't call people names and then claim you weren't attacking them. However, as backup I googled the definition for 'verbally attack'.

"Verbal abuse (also known as reviling) is described as a negative defining statement told to the person or about the person or by withholding any response thus defining the target as non-existent.

Verbal abuse includes the following: name calling."​

And I respond, because you amuse me. Trolls are my favorite people, as they possess no discernible logic and are, therefore, tons of fun to play with. That said, if the only way you can get attention is by cussing, I have to wonder ... no I don't wonder, I know you wouldn't know maturity if it reached out and bit you. You could try, I know this is a scary concept, to be smart and interesting to get attention. Or funny works. Even kind will work. That's how grownups do it.

That said, let's play, troll. Life isn't about disagreement, and using 'adult language' just proves you aren't smart enough to make your point without it. People who use 'adult language' to make their point rarely are adults (well, except physically.) I can, and have, disagreed often with people on these boards and I've never resorted to name calling. But then, I don't have to.
