Contacted by a "slave" on here seeking another to join their clan.  Clearly, neither bothered to read my profile, because it states quite clearly that I am monogamous, not poly, etc.   

When I chided her for failing to read and heed, she replied that not only was I missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime, but that they will be adding me to their "BEWARE" list.  WTF??   My hope is that anyone reading such a list will have the sense to then look at any named profiles and conclude correctly that the "listkeepers" are full of it.

Calling a woman a bitch and a fake AFTER she turns you down (kindly, I might add. . .) because you simply don't match the experience, age, education and M/s orientation really doesn't make you more "dominate" (yes, he used the wrong word). 

And, yes, I did report your nasty-gram to the management.

In a recent email exchange, someone told me that I was really a submissive, not a slave, as a slave has no choice whether or not to obey.  (I can only surmise that he took my clear strength as antithetical to being able to be obedient.)  He also stated that being a slave was not a "happy" state, just ask the slaves early on in our country's history.

In part of my reply, I wrote about the most obvious difference I see between slave and submissive:

"Some great historical figures were slaves, deriving their power from their Master's position.  In ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt, slaves held important positions in government.  Joseph rose to a position of authority, Viceroy, under Pharoah's rule, because of his wisdom and good judgment.  A slave is a good steward of Master's household and his wealth, using their own wisdom and skill to the betterment of Master's position.  Slaves have many choices to make - the guiding force in any decision making, of course, is that in each instance, a slave considers "WWMD" -- What Would Master Do? -- and then does it.  

Submissives, having their own agendas, cannot possibly reach the same decisions, because their welfare is not hinged on the fate of their Master, as they still retain some autonomy.  A slave is "all in" as to the welfare of her Master, so every action, every thought, every idea is all about how to make Master's life easier and better.

It matters not if you accept my ideas.  I know who and what I am and what I need and what I believe."

New favorite malapropism from a profile:

RTFP:  Read The Freaking Profile.

 I call things as I see them, and I refuse to dumb myself down for anyone.  Sooooooooooo, here are a few more thoughts.(1) I've received a few e-mails that simply said "What is it you're looking for?"   *bangs head on keyboard*  Isn't that clear from my profile?  If something is NOT clear, then ask specific questions.  (2) Speaking of profiles:  have one.  Have it filled out, tell us about *you* -- your hopes, your dreams, your aspirations.  People who say "I don't know what to write here" or "Just ask me anything you want to know" will NOT get my time and attention.  In the first case, if you can't write cogently about yourself and the things you seek, we really won't be a good match.  In the second case, well, experience and some excellent law enforcement cyber crimes folks have pointed out that it is a standard predator's trick to NOT put much in a profile and to say "ask me anything."  That makes it SEEM like they are transparent and open, while in reality they are simply waiting for questions that they can then give answers that are what the individual "mark" wants to hear.  Sure, people can lie in profiles, but then if conversation doesn't back up what they've written, potential partners can know something is wrong.  I see the profile as a filter and a place from which conversation begins, not ends.(3) Also, trust me:  an e-mail consisting of "hi, how are you today?" is NOT going to score any points.  WHY are you writing to a girl?  Say it -- what about her profile, her pic, her thoughts and dreams struck a chord for you?  If you are outside of an age or location range, but you think you have something to offer her, tell her why.  State your case -- but don't be surprised if she still says "no thank you."  And if she does, accept it gracefully.  No writing back and saying "Your loss, bitch."  Bad form, truly it is.  (4) LADIES:  write back.  A simple "no thank you" will suffice.  I'm amazed at the number of men who are surprised and thank me that I do.  It's just common courtesy. 

"Come to the dark side."  "Let me take you to places you've never gone before."Oh, PUH-LEEZE!!!(1)  If you are into WIITWD because it seems "dark" to you and it makes you feel very anti-establishment, have at it, but don't think that everyone views it that way.  M/s is simply life, as I see it, and the way relationships work.  It's not dark at all.  Not everyone believes these are "dark arts."(2)  How the heck can anyone claim in a profile or an e-mail to be able to take someone else "deeper," "higher," "farther," etc.?  You don't know me or my experience and everyone's yardstick is different.  Get over yourself. 

"Too old."  "Too tall."  "Too young."  "Too many kids."  "Too analytical."  "Too poor."  "Too bossy."  "Too intense."  I hear them all.I get it:  I am not run of the mill; passion and intensity ooze from my pores.  It is not always an easy path, owning an intelligent slave.  Many men would prefer a solid workhorse than a thoroughbred born to serve by racing the wind.  But they can't help admiring the racer, displaying physical strength, power and grace in the run, wanting to capture that combination and harness it for their own use.Why does the racer run, though?  Many reasons, I suppose:  the sheer joy of being able to, the thrill of competition (even if only against one's own time), and because it has been trained to do so, to please the Trainer and owner. 

Why must people write to others here if they aren't interested in what is being offered?  Writing to chastise, scorn and mock someone's beliefs and aspirations is a sign of immaturity and a lack of ablity to engage in positive and attractive thought. It's like going to a restaurant: why go to a sushi place if you don't like sushi?  Making loud, rude comments about how it stinks, tastes bad and gives you indigestion is uncalled for; making loud, rude comments about how anyone who likes sushi must be an idiot can get you beaten up.
