But, what does get me is when people claim to be what they're not. All too often I get people who obviously have no real experience (and in many cases not much online experience) telling me what I do is wrong or giving me instructions on how to conduct a relationship. And as you pointed out you get the people who are pushy or generally arsey from time to time. Not necessarily in this chatroom which on the whole is rather good I think, but on the net as a whole. I'd love to say this is the only reason people look down on people who play online, but a lot of people are just snobs. And a lot of the snobs complaining about you all being 'mild' and there being no 'lifestylers' are often in the same situation themselves, and are lying about it (in my experience)
just a thought. I think you're great, even though you're not as super cool wonderful and hardcore as me

OK -so that was your first post jennyfer? Look forward to some rather incisive comments when you relax & let fly I'm sure!

Seriously, well put- it's great to hear such encouraging comments from a self-confessed 'real lifer'.

Welcome to the forum, great to have you here.

Some pretty darn good points from Oz & Qmoq as well. A jolly good thread.

I'm wondering how many rungs I'll go up, when my experience includes the week of R/L fun I'm planning? Perhaps I can enter these chatrooms & post on the forums??
