Hijack Me! Lightning round controversy

[WriterDom]

You, sir, are a romantic.

Yes, a romantic sadist.

 

[Recidiva]

Yes, a romantic sadist.

I don't think you can be a sadist unless you CARE deeply about pain.

 

[WriterDom]

There are pure romantics and pure sadists. I can almost picture them on opposite sides of a bell curve. If I do that I probably lean a little more to the romantic.

This is where my mental and emotional math have difficulty with the way people present themselves, I guess.

Whether or not you feel it strongly emotionally or believe in it strongly intellectually doesn't matter so much to me.

It's the STRONG part of the equation.

How a conviction is that much different from an emotion, I don't understand. Brain has the same effect of modifying behavior to match.

Romance and sadism are both intellectual and emotional concepts. It's a linking between thinking and feeling.

I consider romantic concepts to be valuing shared intimacy and sadism to be valuing pain.

I don't see how they're opposed at all.

I'm comfortable enough with it I guess. When I used to post in the poetry forum, I got called out on once. How could I write romantic poetry and yet be involved with bdsm? Like I'm doing bdsm because I hate women or something.

And I might be flamed for saying this, but I have run across Dommes who I believe have a deep seated hatred of men. But it seems like most sub males are heavily into humiliation so I guess it's a win-win for both.

Well, I get flamed all the time, so don't mind me. I do my share of arguing, but genuinely it's to get through bullshit and bluster and to the truth of the matter.

People are infinitely more complicated than the categories we've made up to try to make it simple.

I'd say the people criticizing you were just uneducated in your category. The WriterDom category. Different from all other categories and with its own rules, wants, likes, dislikes, reasons and brain chemistry.

Oddly enough I've seen more people try to stuff me into a particular category in the BDSM world than in the vanilla world.

BDSM people are just like other people. Which is entirely comforting in its own way.

I don't think you come across as hating women at all. I just think your sense of humor is so intensely dry and subtle that it's likely to be missed and passed over in favor of calling it prejudice or criticism. People miss that you're amused by what you say, and you're just as likely to apply that wit to yourself as you are to others. And you being impressed or insulted has the same laid back, tempered quality to it.

I can easily see how that gets misintepreted.

I just read that Six Flags might go belly up.

A nuisance. They don't have much of a fear of people. I almost hit one with the ball. Had to take a goose mulligan. And they shit everywhere. That's probably good for the grass though. Green energy.

Interesting story about Georgia geese. They aren't supposed to be here. They clipped their wings so they were forced to stay. Then the chicks of the clipped birds think they belong here. But the population has gotten out of hand. They keep extending the hunting season. You can shoot 5 a day now. But I don't shoot things I don't eat. No interest in goose. I like them just fine. Beautiful birds. Just wish they'd stay off the golf course.

Plus they mate for life. It would be like killing someone's wife or husband.

OMG, environmental dicking gone way wrong.

I like Canada honkers all right, but they do shit everywhere. It's because they digest at lightning pace. Think about it, if you're already a 15 lb bird and you need 5 pounds of grass at your rest stop, how do you get airborne again?

They have no fear, it's true. I used to walk around them in the park, they can fuck you up with their wings. Mean mean mean.

I'm in Orlando now, so...okay.

Geese are mean.

A goose named Clarence was the only thing on the farm that would come charging at me, wings spread, when I was walking my horse to cool her down.

She always tried to stomp on him, so it was okay. But he never learned.

I was attacked by a rooster when I was small. It wasn't pleasant.

Deer can be extremely dangerous.

I've never had a problem with deer.

I've been stupid and chased after bears who could have hauled off in 30 seconds and gutted me...but I've never considered deer to be a threat.

I hear the rabbits in your state are vicious.

The yellow jackets are. Stirred some up cutting the grass last year.

Hence the expression, "went through there like shit through a goose."

ETA, I count two geese and one duck among my golfing "trophies." I really ought to learn how to get the effing ball airborne with a two iron.

 

[WriterDom]

I don't even own a two iron.

I've never played golf other than miniature.

It never came up.

I don't play much. Trying to walk 9 holes now at least once a week for the exercise. It's only 5 dollars. No tax, and the pull cart is free.

That's cheaper than putt putt.

I don't like going out much. I used to travel like crazy and do a ton of things and now I can barely be bothered.

Nature's in my back yard. Lemon grass has seed stalks and the orange tree has blossoms that smell like honeysuckle this week.

That's most of the outside I get. Gardening.

 

[WriterDom]

I love to garden. If I squat down I can see some lettuce coming up today.

Mine's huge and giving off spiky white flowers.

I don't any longer. The longest "iron" in my bag is now a 3-hybrid. I can get that puppy up in the air every time. The geese no longer fear me, but I still despise their shit.

 

[WriterDom]

The nine hole course kicks my ass. But I'm going to have to play more to get better. I only have played about 4 times in the last two years. Yesterday the wind was a real bitch. I only made two pars and didn't hit a single green. But I didn't lose a ball. That's fucking rare.

....sounds like something you should see a doctor about



(j/k, it just sounded funny when i read it)
