Dom/mes, Masters, Mistresses, slaves and subs, where is your pride?

[The Lord Winter]

For me, I never was trained, and I don't see anyone else's behavior (except my him) as a reflection of my pride or honor. I do understand where you are coming from, but I am not ashamed that I am totally different than you, in how I came to be here and in how I relate to the other users on this board.

Guera, this is precisely the kind of reflection I was referring to, the honor and pride of the one who owns the submissive or slave in question. I agree that it would be foolish to expect everyone but those whom we have direct control over to do as we command. The problem I pointed out is that many Dom/mes and Masters and Mistresses do not consider the online community with the weight it should receive. The internet connects us more completely every day, yet it is still treated as though it just began yesterday. It may only be just out of it's infancy, but it is definitely OUT of that infancy.

No, I'm not speaking to the unowned majority, here, I'm speaking to the collared submissives and slaves that would misbehave in such a way that, were it to occur R/T, the holder of their collar would punish them in such a way as to leave no doubt that such behavior would not be tolerated. These submissives claim ownership, misbehave, and then use their collar as a shield against retribution.

As for training, I believe you misunderstood my reference. I was speaking to the training we, as Dom/mes and Masters/Mistresses, give our subs and slaves.

Thank you for your reply, Guera.
