Fantasy vs. Stark Reality...

How fortunate it must be to (seemingly) have heard only just two ridiculous things as has Delia.

Perhaps you should read that again, there was a key adjective you missed.

Should I ask everyone here to consider mercy, or is it fun to spar?

This is a forum for people who enjoy games of Domination and submission... and no one's asking for a white knight or a peacemaker. Yet I feel I should step in and say something... that's silly of me, but I feel it nonetheless.

Hmmm...

No, it is hardly any fun to "spar", especially when you spar with some dolt.
RubbrSpatula is quite correct in sensing untoward antagonism, some sort of defensive mechanism, or whatever. Much finer pursuits can be had here, rather than continued pointless sparring...

I see the discussions and debates that we have here as being healthy exchanges of opinions, in most cases. There are some cases where it's just purely brainless and insulting, but for the most part, I see it as good, clean debating.

How are other opinions to be explored if everyone agrees or if the essence of politeness keeps the free flow of thoughts and ideas from being unleashed? (©2003 BDSM_Tourguide)

If I feel there are cases of pointless bickering, then I will let the offending parties know, even if one such party is myself. Hence my limited replies to some topics on these forums. I frequently bite my tongue and keep my fingers from typing "God, what a dumbass" to keep the domestice tranquility of these forums. Besides, I hear I'm supposed to set an example for others. Bummer, eh?

oops..
I do apologise..wrong reply..in wrong topic..

is there a 'red faced' smilie in here?

[Faibhar]

A couple of issues raised by the post from Cleo671. As the post resonnates earlier comments made, perhaps adressing them again is called for.

I don't know your age

Are we using the plural here or just the singular second person tense? If the latter, let's say in October I turned double nickels. That much said, it should also be added that yes, the issue of cosmetics in the past has been of a concern, and that females known have also worked hard at maintaining their physical, as well as, mental "looks".

Speaking of which, is it my bias or Cleo671's who begins by stating that she is a "female". Does this matter? Is it really that much more important to be a female? Much easier to not wear a bag over one's head so as to not chase members of the opposite sex away? Do females care less about their appearance, or have greater standards than their opposite gender? Are they as a whole more mature and wise?

If the above questions appear a bit naive, please pardon. It's just that as stated previously here attempts to meet bdsm lifestylers through entry level munches were a tad disappointing in the titillating department. Distinctions over which sex appeared the superior were purely secondary to just finding anyone of any sex attractive.
