I AM NOT SEEKING ANY KIND OF RELATIONSHIP.

I am here for the message boards. I am in a steady, mutually happy and mutually fulfilling boyfriend/girlfriend, vanilla/BDSM relationship and am not searching for anyone to be any kind of slave/sub/play partner/girl friend, etc. I am quite private about my personal life and am not interested in munches, “get togethers,” etc.

I - Who is this Marc2b guy and why is he viewing my profile?

Women: I viewed your profile because:

A) I am an unabashed profile perver. I love the female form and am always on the lookout for nice visuals. Submissive, dominant, straight, homosexual, black, white, Asian etc, etc… I don’t care about any of that. What matters to me is the form. If your form is female, that’s reason enough for me. And I like a wide variety of female forms from slim and almost boyish to voluptuous. Each and every one of you is a work of art and I enjoy the simple pleasure of viewing your beauty the same as I enjoy viewing a beautiful painting or sculpture.

B) You said something on the message boards that intrigued me. It might have been something I considered to be insightful, profound, intelligent… or it might have been something I considered to be… otherwise. Either way you intrigued me enough to want to know a little about you.

C) I clicked on your profile by accident (it happens).

MEN: I viewed your profile because:

A) You said something on the message boards that intrigued me. It might have been something I considered to be insightful, profound, intelligent… or it might have been something I considered to be… otherwise. Either way, you intrigued me enough to want to know a little about you.

B) I clicked on your profile by accident.

If you are viewing my profile because something I said on the message boards (no doubt something insightful, profound and intelligent… or perhaps otherwise…) and you want to know a little more about me – then here are a few facts about me that may help you out:

Politically Speaking: I am a liberal. I am not far left and have no more patience with the fascist left than I do the fascist right.

Religiously Speaking: I am an atheist. Since I grew up and live in a society heavily influenced by Christianity, I tend to use terms like God, the Lord, Him, and He but that is just habit. I am not a Christian in the sense that I believe in the God of the Bible nor do I adhere to any particular religion large or small.

I do support religious rights. As long as your idea of religion doesn’t involve harming others then I don’t have a problem with you practicing it. I may not agree with it but I respect your right to believe what you believe and live accordingly. This does not mean I necessarily respect your actual beliefs themselves.

Philosophically Speaking: It is hard to define my personal philosophy of Life, the Universe, and Everything. I generally come from a skeptical viewpoint on things combined with a belief that the questions of Life, the Universe, and Everything are ultimately unknowable and that we should consider all knowledge as ultimately provisional. I believe that when we consider the vastness and complexity of the world (not to mention the whole universe) the immense amount of what is unknown compared to what is known (or, at least what we think we know) that a little humility is in order. By “humility” I do not mean being humble (fuck no). I do not mean we shouldn’t take pride in our accomplishments or never stand up for ourselves. By “humility” I mean we should be aware of, and acknowledge, the limits of our knowledge – both as individuals, and as a species. Actually, I don’t hold out great hope for this… but then, what do I know?

BDSM-ally Speaking (BDSM-ally? Is that a word? Well if it wasn’t before, it is now and I claim credit for coining it.): I come close to being a Gorean. I discovered the Gor books when I was thirteen (shortly after I discovered new and interesting things I could do with my pecker) and they have had a definite influence on my BDSM thinking but there were other influences as well like the Story of O. My thinking/experience is that of a very strict, slightly sadistic male dominant/female slave dynamic. I don’t consider myself a full fledge Gorean partially because I just don’t like labeling myself philosophically, partially because I do have some differences with Norman’s world view and partially because I just think it is silly to be going around saying “Tal” to people. Nothing personal in that Goreans, that’s just me. I don’t take offense (and even consider it a compliment), by the way, if anybody addresses me with “Tal.” Also, I should admit, I do like it when those Gorean babes address me as “Master.”

Because I am settled and happy with the BDSM aspects of my life I don’t spend a lot of time in the BDSM sections of the Message Boards. I’ll chime in occasionally and curiosity about people and the things we do in general will have me reading in all sections but for the most part I hang around in the Off Topic sections.

Still, if you are curious as to what kind of Master my gal pal has to deal with when we are in Master/slave “mode” (which can be a spare evening, a long weekend or a couple of weeks at the remote cabin in the woods) think of me as a cross between Tarl Cabot and Sir Stephan. Think of her as one very obedient, hard working, and pleasing (or else) slave girl who may be scrubbing the kitchen floor in the afternoon and dancing naked by the light of a campfire in the evening.

Humorously Speaking: I do like to laugh and I enjoy all forms of humor. I enjoy practicing self depreciating humor. I firmly believe that if you can’t laugh at yourself then you have no business laughing at other people. I like laughing at other people. Thus I do make it a point to poke fun at my self from time to time. I must say, however, it really irks me when people misallocate self depreciating humor for genuflect stupitidy, even if I is brimming it on myself.

I have no respect for people who can’t take a joke. I understand that words on a message board can be misinterpreted or that people may be sensitive about certain things because of events in their own life. If you feel that I am seriously disrespecting and/or insulting you, ask me about it. The odds are very good that no genuine disrespect was intended.

II - Block/Hide policy.

The following kinds of people will be Blocked from C-mailing me and/ or Hidden on the Message Boards:

All obvious scammers (you people really need to get more creative).

All obvious trolls (you people need to get a life).

Anyone who is an obvious, ignorant, hate filled bigot, regardless of what particular group you hate. It’s not about who you hate but the fact that you hate. But then, you’d understand that if you weren’t an ignorant, hate filled bigot.

Unreasonably hostile nutcases. If you can't make an argument without threatening my safety or life then I am not interested in hearing from you, regardless of the validity of your argument.

Conspiracy theory nutcases. No, I really do not want to read your five thousand word dissertation “proving” how the Illuminati are responsible for 9-11, the recession, high fructose corn syrup in our food, and Adam Sandler movies.

Anyone who I feel has maligned my character or insulted my family (yeah, it's happened). I know that discussions can get heated and I can take the normal jibes and jabs (I enjoy handing them out myself) but I have a low tolerance for Ad Hominem attacks and I have no tolerance for insults to my family. Life is too short to waste on such people.

A Final Word:

I don’t believe in hate (too emotionaly and mentaly draining) and I seek to bear no ill will or malice toward anyone (okay, maybe one or two exceptions). I might get angry or even pissy at times (hey, I’m human) but I truly wish Peace and Prosperity for everyone,
