I don't understand this at all. If the OP's comment is that some people are being rude, then yeah, they should stop. I don't see what this has to do with them being subs or owned or unowned or whatever. Everyone should exhibit basic good manners, Dom/mes as well as subs. But once he gets into how it reflects badly on the owners, etc. etc., he's lost me. It only reflects poorly on the owners if their dynamic is such that the owner monitors the sub's online behavior, cares about it, and agrees with the OP about what's rude and what's not. Those are a lot of ifs. Otherwise I'd say, you do as you like with your own property and let other owners do as they like with theirs. That's respectful, and basic good manners.
