If they try to tell you otherwise they're not a real Dom.
I think this mixes apples and oranges as they say. Deferring to someone else under the appropriate circumstances does not imply one is bottoming to them.

I've never kowtowed before a judge... nor have I tried to top one. You state your case and he judges. As far as I'm concerned, he's there to top the cop if the cop is in the wrong... and if I was in the wrong, I just pay my fine. And if we meet outside the courtroom, I talk to him as an equal as I do everyone, sub or dom, lifestyle or vanilla.

I also talk to my own sub as an equal. Just because her role is different than mine doesn't make her some kind of lesser person... (or have I strayed off concept?)
