So here's the thing, is there anyone who honestly expects to get responses from real subs and slaves when they can't even be bothered to write their ad's or responses to ad's with proper grammar, syntax and spelling? 

Ok let me explain where this is coming from. I routinely check out the forum ads posted by Dom's and the occasional Domme looking for female slaves, especially those looking for online slaves, so I can keep up on who the scammers are and for a laugh. Sorry but they way people phrase the things they're looking for cracks me up some times. In any case one of the things that I see that's not so much funny as just mind boggling is how often the posts are just...bad. I'm not talking about typo's or minor grammatical errors like starting sentences with "but" because everyone does it, hell I do it. What I'm talking about are horrible grammatical errors like double negatives or improperly broken sentences. Thats just the beginning, there are ads with the wrong word put in so the sentence doesn't make any sense and don't even get me started on punctuation or rather the lack there of. The part that really does blow my mind is how they alway remember to capitalize the words "Dom" and "Master" and such but they can't even capitalize at the beginning of a sentence.  

Now please don't think I'm trashing anyone, that will happen when I get to the "Respect" portion of the blog post, I'm just trying to understand this. You call yourself a Dom or a Master and expect not only that subs and slaves will come to you but they will overlook the fact that you can't even put the time and energy into your ad to go back and proof read it or edit it when you notice a mistake and then wonder why you don't get any responses. Dose that sound even remotely realistic, to anyone? Subs and slaves are naturally submissive, they have a need to serve, but not to serve just anyone to serve someone they feel is superior to them in a very real sense, someone stronger, wiser, more capable, someone who will take care of them and protect them and give them what they need aside from someone to serve. Anyone can give themselves a title like Dom or Master but it doesn't mean squat unless you are willing to back it up with effort and will and someone who can't take the time to write a proper ad clearly can't or isn't going to be able to back up his self-given title. 

Oh and fyi subs and slaves are generally not all that confident when approaching a Dominant about submitting to them and usually don't because of that lack of confidence, the ones that do are usually fakes or scammers so You should be the one going after them not the other way around.

Switching gears.

The other thing I would like to talk about is lack of respect and I would like to start off saying What THE FUCK??

I've been reading forums for awhile now here and there (mostly here) and I'm appalled at one of the trends I've noticed, younger Dominants, like me, and even submissives mouthing off to people because they feel their wrong. Now I'm not saying that they're always wrong, usually when they're correcting someone they're right or at least have a good reason behind their point and I will admit its my biggest pet peeve that I still get told I don't know what I'm talking about because of my age. What bothers me though isn't what they're saying, its how. Again and again I read posts by people of my age group trying to correct someone or answer a question by stopping one step short of just calling them a fucking moron and sometimes they don't stop a step short. The worst part is that its a distinct increase in these attacks the younger they are, though 19 year olds are worse than the 18 year olds. I feel ashamed for my generation.

When I first started checking out bdsm I stayed back and learned and when I though someone made a mistake or was wrong I kept it to myself or spoke up politely because I was new and I was learning. One of the things I learned was that because I was polite people responded and explained things to me when I was the one who was wrong. For some reason though this is not the case anymore and I would ask what the hell happened? Was I just an anomaly or has the idea of polite discussion degraded so quickly into insults and pig headed arrogance?

What frightens me the most is that if this is happening here, on a relatively small and close knit bdsm community where people generally learn to shut up and move along or discuss things intelligently what is the rest of the internet like and more frightening the world like outside it? 

I'm terrified that in 20 or 30 years time I will see a UN debate that consists of "ZOMG are you really this stupid or did you just wake up like this?" responded to with "YOUR MOM!". If that day does come, you'll have to look for me in a bunker somewhere because the next step is nuclear war with a video game controller launch pad. 

What I'm trying to say is please, for the love of all that is holy or human, if you see an unwarranted attack politely correct them and inform them that there is no place for anger in bdsm or discussion, passion yes, anger no.

And If your one of the people of my generation who's ability to be polite has been destroyed by video game chat, the internet and public education, go find someone a lot older than you and talk to them, politely. Learn to be polite, and tolerant and how to listen and disagree without using a pointless verbal ejaculation or some derogatory put down, because if you don't there will come a day when you wake up and no one can talk to anyone without starting a fight or worse a war.
