Is it that men are suppose to know better?
I'm thoroughly enjoying this BDSM Lifestyle message board, and have recommended it to many. I'd say it's partly because of the refreshing points of view I find here, and partly for the diversity of interesting and stimulating topics I also find here.
My presence here is to interact, gain and share knowledge, opinion, and friendship in various levels... but I don't come here to troll, or by any stretch of the imagination to meet trolls, regardless of their gender or position... or pecking order at any feed trough.
There is an entire 'Rest of Collarme.com' beyond this message board... and correct me if I'm mistaken, but I think I've seen personal ads/profiles there, and it is considered to be the meeting place, rather than a (any) message board, duh!
In this particular forum, I have addressed this issue and pointed out posting person ads here is essentially trolling, and does NOT belong here, and is a bad stereotype to overcome... ie. troll elsewhere, but enjoy the message board, use it for it's intended purpose like everyone else does (most everyone else). Yes, I've also noticed regular participants having done similar, however... those were usually thread replys as opposed to complete threads... with no other purpose.
In answer to Sandy's very good question: No, we are ALL supposed to know better.
I confess, I did rip into this but Terry had already stated it so eloquently, but since the thread starter didn't even bother reading the existing troll threads, and ascertain if this was indeed a 'troll friendly' environment (had he read, he would have understood)... I felt it necessary to establish a 'cause' for someone to troll in a forum (or board) that does not welcome trolls with arms wide open... surely it is not simply and issue of disrespect, so must be a 'cause' for this odd behavior, especially in this particular forum (READ OTHER THREADS), duh!
Oh yeah, it helps to read the thread posts too... NOT just the thread's troll title, and decide this forum needs gracing with your very own troll thread also (READ OTHER THREAD POSTS, NOT JUST TITLES).
I owe this Man no pity or remorse for his lack of sense and odd behavior on a message board, and I highly commend Terry for acknowledging the stance I established in this very forum in other troll threads... read em', this Man obviously didn't!.
I would like to commend the one person who overcame the troll stereotype, by offering his appology to all board members... and to you Sir I appologize for my initial contact with you, and I now appreciate you for the gentleman you really are.
There does not seem to be a problem in the Ask a Master forum of sub/slaves trolling for Masters/Doms... not that I've noticed anyway. Personally, I don't monitor the Ask a Mistress forum, but find interesting commentary in the forum. I would think and hope some informal forum leaders would enforce a similar 'unfriendly to trolls' stance there, because it's more their territory which I respect.
BTW: I'm NOT troll friendly (in case no one has gleaned that), there's TOO MANY that make themselves evident daily in the other areas of collarme.com, where they are also not welcome, but considered more the norm rather than the exception.
I for one would not like to see this informative community become what too many other boards have become... simply uninterested and uninteresting people in a Twighlight Troll Zone!
Inyouagain
