Dear Dave, I avoid chat rooms for the same reason
you describe so well. Forums are much better. Some may
have the ability to follow chats, I have not.
May I bring up an off-topic subject? I don't want to start a new thread
just for that. In your post I can see that you use lowercase "i" in the
pronoun "I". I have seen it in many posts of subs. First I thought
it was just a superficial typing, but I had a chat session with a gentleman
who demanded me using a lowercase "i", and made me understand that
it was a humiliation. Well, I loved it, only I kept making mistakes,
and was always punished painfully for those. It was OK with me,
I loved the punishments, too. I am in full peace with the thing.
But I want to ask (not just Dave, but everybody): am I supposed
to use lowercase "i" on the Forums, too? If I am, I will be glad to do it,
I really want to humiliate myself in every possible way. Only it will
slow down my typing, I am used to the opposite. And I will do lots of
mistakes, of course.
So please let me know what am I supposed to do. I will be docile
and obedient. Thank you very much.
