Look just becuase you say your a dominant doesnt make you one to me.

It takes far more than logging onto a bdsm site and putting "dom" in your profile to earn any kind of "extra" respect. The ones who go pandering for it the most are often the least dominant anyway.

Common courtesy is what it is, it has its place, just as much as vicarious wit does in chat, which if you spend anytime in you will find is a much more complex situation than just one conversation, often times multiple conversations are taking place, the dynamic involved is quite different than if you were sitting around in real life with a naked subbie at your feet. Dominance and submission there is often acomplished in private, but you can see the dynamic at work all the time between the rooms particapants.

Visit a site where the subs dont speak unless told too and you will find a very boring site full of engine talk, sports, and other non-bdsm topics, with the occassional online "serve" being pasted in from some bored girls clipboard who is probabely in IM with someone else on the side.

As OZ mentioned, those who are attuned to their dominance can still manage to command all the respect thats due them (without complaint, showboating or whinning about protocols btw) when they come into chat, even from the so called brats.

In so far as any online offers of trainning are conserned I highly reccomend the following thread:
