If you are lurking

[catalina_francisco]

I am pretty much back to lurking now

So nice to see you here again in the visible sense....you cross my mind often and hoped you were still with us at least in lurk mode. Hope life has been treating you and yours well.

I never lurked. I once had a girl threaten to cut my ears off because she said I was disproving her theory on why God gave people two ears and only one mouth.

Hmm, maybe that's why Van Gogh did it.

Odd that this thread popped up again.

I have been doing a lot of lurking lately.

I don't mean to offend, but I think it is because I get bored on line, these days and sometimes, get bored at lit.

So sorry to be this blunt, but it is the truth.

 

[Marquis]

It's so ironic to me to hear someone afraid of being offensive online. I'm just recently coming to grips with the fact that you all aren't a bunch of conversation bots created for my amusement.

Sometimes I wonder why I didn't take the blue pill (or the red pill, whichever one keeps you in the Matrix, you know what I mean).

Lurking is about all I have time for.

Evening lurkee.

Good to see you up and around.

Hi there.

Ty. It's nice to be here, even if only briefly.

 

[Seumas]

Part of it is that one of the first threads I worked on in the Sexual roleplay section, the originator of the thread thought it was a good idea to be publicly insulting to me after a post.

Everything is going fine here... thank you for asking. I still drop by the site for the stories and once in awhile I will check to see what the boards are doing. I hope you guys are both well, and tell St. Francisco I said hi.

Well, most of the posting around here is public, and quite a bit of it is insulting

Just joking. Honestly, the forums can be lots of fun if you just jump right in. You will get jerks and assholes, because, well, we are all human. I myself am something of a rude bitch sometimes (I know, I know, y'all are all in shock at the very idea ) but I can be nice, too.

Don't let one bad experiance scare you away. If you have something to say here, say it. To hell with the rude people - if you wait for them to shut up, you will spend your life in silence.

Happy Posting, and welcome to the boards.

Ahhhh.... So post an interesting thread of your own then. Or something salacious.
I try so hard not to bore, and while not taking this personally, vow to be not as predictably so full of smartassitude in the future.

 

[Phoenix Stone]

hi niteshade!

I don't know you (except just a little from the lazy Doms thread) but I miss you. Partly it's that darling Av. (I just love the picture of a fairy flitting around amongst all the heavy leather. )

 

[AngelicAssassin]

At last count, she's started over 100, most of them interesting, to include this one.

i'm talking out of my ass here, but i believe she might have thought it strange for this thread to appear when her lurk time had increased.

Play nice PS. The Veterinarians are watching you ... http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/363868/Lurking.gif

I WAS playing nice! I LOVE MissTaken! (Did you know that MissTaken? ) I was hoping she WOULD post a thread that she would find interesting, as it would be likely to be one that I would find so, too. But thank you for telling me if that's not how it came off.

I DID get it that she was thinking it might be more than a a coinky-dink, but since I'm not the one who brought this thread back, I can't speak to that part of the post.

And as for You, Mr. Has-friends-who-run-with-scissors (or, in this case, scalpels), despite telling me to play nice twice, you have not yet Seen me play Not-Nicely! I've only done that once, at Lit, on the How-To board when I got tired of a troll, and decided to parse him finely. (Admittedly, I did clip an innocent passer-by with one meant for the troll but otherwise my aim was true. Don't worry -- if I mean something in more than a smartass sense, I promise to label it thusly -- This time I'm Not Playing Nicely.

As I told another Dom, whom I now consider a friend, but who at one point was having a hard time dealing with me -- just think of me as a Domme Absolutely Insists on being treated as a Sub. Does that help? If not, how about as a mid-sized lynx in kitten's clothing, or a mountain lion raised as a housepet, that doesn't quite know its own strength at times?

(looking this one over again -- not taking anything back but... if it's getting up there on the Testy-Post-ometer, it may have something to do with it being boiling hot here, I'm coming down with a cold, have a cold sore -- which I never get, two of my kids' brattiest friends will be coming over for a sleepover, and a number of other mitigating events are or will be occuring, the rest just as tedious as this first batch, but all of which just May be having some affect on my mood.)

Congrats on the name change, Luna.

Chuckle ... call it a levelling of the eyes.

First point, the stickies state, somewhere, we don't stand on PYL/pyl posturing behavior here. IOW, no one claiming submissive status need bow and scrape to anyone claiming Dominant status.

Second point, MissT and i have no secret handshake thing going on that requires me to come running to her defense.

Third point, MissT is quite capable of raking you over the coals if she deems the action necessary, and she probably won't.

Fourth point, i based my nudge on perception. i loathe flame wars over mistaken perceptions. If i do nudge, it's out of politeness.

Last point, you may have been raised as a housepet, but not i ...

 

[Bandit58]

I tend to lurk, a lot, mainly because I'm so new to the BDSM world. I'm also shy and only post when I feel I have something to contribute to the discussion.

Also some of you are scary.... I'm not into pain at all (but I love a spanking with a hand) and all the talk of flogging and caning is very nerve-racking to a newbie sub

Not into flame wars, though sometimes heavily into teasing, but felt misunderstood, so clarified. I 'get you' as an honorable sort who is careful to do things correctly, whereas I'm admittedly more sloppy but well-meaning.

Aack ,now feel I have to explain my explanations!
1. I know but said labels do color our view and responses, I've noticed.
2. I get it that it's voluntary and such.
3. I never doubted that. I'm try to be more careful as a matter of fact, around those I worry about their self-defense capabilities. (Skyblue also didn't strike me as helpless! so I think about whom I'm talking to, thought not always about listeners.
4. a. I sense your perception of me may be off a little.
b. me, too, so when it seems I'm getting into one, will stop and clarify. And that's also why I thanked you for letting me know i may have come off differently than intended.
c. I recognize that but... see 4.a.

5. Just looking for an analogy. More seriously, I was raised by the closest thing to wolves that we have in our society, and had to work long on hard to learn how to pull in my claws as much as I have, when I fell in love with a ... fledgeling of unknown breed and genus. (still figuring that one out.)

(hmmmph, my computers not letting me use smilies today. Will have to remain inscrutable -- or with even less scrute than usual.)

(lots of typos today)

You need to read a little more on wolves, unless i'm missing your analogy.

i understood the rest of your post.

I hear that babe. However, one of the nice things about Lit is that they tend to be pretty relaxed on the rules. I can't say I'm one for all the pomp and circumstance of BDSM myself. I'm really just a pretty normal guy who can't help but be rough and demanding during sex, and has ethical problems putting vanilla women in situations they don't want to be in.

 

[MissTaken]

So sorry

I should have explained myself a bit better. My ennui comes and goes. It is cyclic. I am approaching my third anniversary at lit and find that my vigor with regard to posting has dropped off significantly. That should not be taken as an insult to anyone who is entertaining and fun , or informative and thought provoking. It just is.

I enjoy lit, whether I am lurking or posting. I just don't get the same rush that I used to when a thread goes well, or a joke comes off as amusing as I had hoped.

Further, if I have started a hundred threads on this forum, I would estimate that I would have started ten times that many throughout lit. LOL I am out of thread ideas, folks!


Now, Pheonix, I had no idea you
me, but think that is awesome. You are one of the posters I lurk after and all over. I may not always agree with your POV, but love your posting style!!!!

And I am sorry I wasn't more clear about my post. It really was a post made because the bumping of the thread was such a coincidence.

Anyway, this thread was originally started to help me to gather some ideas for the forum to promote more posters engaging in discussions. It has done that quite well and I welcome any further input.
