Greetings, girl.
It is rarely mentioned, but the FW of this cyber Home Stone are all former slaves who could not hack it. I urge you to be a slave to Men, and continue to strive to be pleasing as is a natural reaction. As in the books, the Free Women who are cruellist and despise slave girls the most are the ones who would be best served with a collar and a beating. FW will nit pick at protocol but Men will judge you only by whether you are pleasing or not.
Some of the former slaves are simply not worth the effort to try to correct.
Serve well.
-Just an Observation
Wise words. Thanks for posting them.

To any who hear me,
Sarcasm always makes me think a person is losing the argument emotionally, even if they have facts on their side.
I will not try to correct a Master in his thoughts on rape/non-rape. I try to ask questions as I was taught in the places I lived in the lifestyle in the late 70s as a young woman.
With that thought, is this no longer the Gorean prevailing custom? Is it appropriate for a slave to contradict a Master? In my past I frankly would have expected a slap, and a dismissal from his feet to be ignored in the corner at the least.
However, if I had confusion or other thoughts, civil discussion and questions on my part would usually be acceptable. But sarcasm and statements of absolutism would earn me no such pleasant discourse.
This post is offered in complete sincerity with no ulterior designs. It is a question only.

In the late 1970s there was no all-pervasive Internet. The slappings were real, physical, the offending words spoken aloud, not typed. That makes a huge difference. I'm certain that some slaves here (meaning all CM message boards), Gorean and non-, quietly follow rules of communication set down by their masters, but it's hard to notice these types because they're being, for the most part, polite, well-behaved, not very obtrusive. (unless ordered to be so) It's the ones who have no such orders or who would not follow such orders even if given them, that you tend to notice...because they are consistently ruder and louder, probably.
"But sarcasm and statements of absolutism would earn me no such pleasant discourse."
Agreed. I know of no master who likes that sort of thing--in the least. For some, even questions, outside of certain contexts, are displeasing. Assuming you aren't owned or under orders, I think that you should continue acting as you were taught to act. It displays good manners and self-restraint to those who value (and notice) such things. Don't copy the habits of the arrogant or ignorant, even if they would try to shame you into being like themselves. No slave is ever perfect, she always falls down on the job at times, particularly if under a demanding master. But you're trying, and I always think it's the striving that matters, far more than nit-picky perfection, because it denotes the right attitude. In slavery, at least in my experience, attitude is extremely important: it makes so much possible.
I think that Internet communications make many people sick, and, in particular, prone to extreme viciousness. Those who are confident and happy with who and what they are, Gorean or not, don't engage in that sort of behavior, they feel no need. Some of these people will have ideas that engage your mind and interests. I think it is smart to seek such people out, cultivate and engage them, and learn from them what you need to know.
