I agree. I've noticed a lot of people here saying that only their dominant may call them names without risk of being bitch slapped. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me (sort of). I don't care who calls me names. If they don't know me and say something that isn't true, why should I get upset enough to do violence? They're just ignorant. If they say something that is true, why should I be angry at someone for telling the truth? If the truth hurts, it's time to take a good look at yourself in a mirror and decide if you like what you see or if something needs to change. If you like what you see, that's really all that matters, and whoever doesn't like it can go fuck themselves!
