Thanks for sharing your insight on things Sir Russell.
Much wisdom to be found in your words without a doubt.
If those same convictions carried over to all in the
lifestyle it would be far less confusing and disheartening
to many.
Too often you encounter those who feel they have a lock
upon what in their view is "the one true religion" when
it comes to what the lifestyle is about.
Subs must only do this, Masters do only that, a switches
place should be here.
No room allowed for each to their own and what works
for them but instead a handing down of judgement and scorn
upon the community who doesn't subscribe to their
individual philosophy.
All people are individuals and this is a diverse lifestyle
without a doubt.
You can't simply pigeonhole terms or conditions that
exist in one relationship into the template for creating
all others.
When I see that expressed, this passion carved set of
standards for all; expoused like some new age tome of
ten commandments I simply laugh.
I see the insecurity within of those who view themselves
as "a legend in their own mind".
