ORIGINAL: millisande Greetings, Masters. Greetings, Mistresses. Greetings, brothers and sisters of the chain. Something in one of barely’s posts, about this being ‘just’ online, and not living as a Gorean in all aspects of life, struck a nerve in bina, and she’s been mulling this around in her head for a day or so… Would you, as a slave, obey the order of someone that you didn’t know, so long as it does not conflict with an order of your Master? Example 1: Master GenericGoreanMan posts that your posts have personally offended him, and tells you to cease using the boards, and to report your behavior to your Master. Example 2: Complete stranger tells you to get the door for them as they walk in/out a door near where you are standing. This is, of course assuming that the girl has common sense, and/or a Master who values her, and has directed her not to damage his property, or place it in danger… Getting in cars with random strangers = a generally hailed as a bad idea…. With all respect, and in hopes that this is pleasing to the Free, bina, of Wolf *Please note, this is not meant to be seen as an attack on anyone, nor slander or baiting of barely.... bina just wanted to give her due credit for starting her down this train of thought....* <Edited to attempt to avoid another flame war> Hi Millisande, I'm not a Gorean's slave so coming from a smaller absolutist community only members of my owner's peer group can tell me what to do and I'd have obey. I'm only required to obey people my owner determines are his peers. So that eliminates online interaction immediately. As far as doors I have never had a man not hold the door open for me, if it happened with some random stranger I'd just grab the door..no hurt, no foul..no dominance, no submission, just a door. **Now here is where absolute obedience and uncondoitional slavery come in for us: If it was a member of my owner's peer group I'd have to obey, no matter what. I can't judge my owner's peers and refuse. Anything less than immediate obedience would imply judging his peers or thinking about whether to comply or not..and in our absolutist community slaves just don't do that. Slavery is unconditional, there is no prime directive to protect his property, certainly not from him or his peers..in fact that would be the polar opposite of his expectation of a slave...immediate compliance is the minimum expectation. In this household you just need to obey, common sense has nothing to do with, I'm not allowed to counter his decisions or his peers, so it plays no role within that group, on the street with stranger is the only place it remotely matters. Great question, thanks!
