When I started chatting in the room, I use to use.."S/slashyS/speak" and then I had to think about why I was doing it. lol....I came to the realization, that when I say "hello everyone, or hey all' I am talking to all that's in the room and not just the submissives or just the dominants. We are all equal in my eyes, only in our chosen relationships. Are there differences in the hierchary sp?.

I respect all until they had done something to lose that respect from me. So showing someone respect by slashing some letters, does nothing for me. lol Jmo

To each their own, if you enjoy it continue!
