I am with tyd here. Some people have manners. Others don´t. Why should the BDSM crowd make an exception from that rule?

I´m not sure if I agree with Kuskovian here. But that may result in the fact that for me it would be bad enough if I made an ass out of myself - there is simply no need for another person to increase that feeling.
However, it is true for me that if the partner (completely without any BDSM context) of someone I know acts like an idiot, my respect not only for the partner, but also for the person I know will suffer severely. Simply because that person is willing to share her/his life with an obvious moron.

While I do act out in chat sometimes, I would never EVER behave like this in real life (pinching. slapping. teasing. tying pink ribbons on people. You get my point.).

I want to be respected, and expect the same in return. I also teach the same to my son (it might just be me, but I feel a lot of parents nowadays don´t give a fuck about their childrens´ behaviour and manners anymore... I think that´s pretty sad).
