When I read threads like this, I'm prone to asking myself what the lifestyle *really* was like three months ago when the OP discovered it in an online chatroom.

i know what you mean john, how much could he possibly know with having just found collarme. there is so much to learn here, how could anyone feel complete until they have found collarme.

i think og all the humanity missing out, not knowing about collarme, and how important it is to belong in order to have a status in the community.

i cant wait to see everyone at IML this may.

cheers

you tell me john. what does collarme have to do with the OP. people on here seem to think this is the be all end all od bdsm lifestyle. and when someone comes on the forum for the first few times, they maybe be new to collarme, but that does not mean they are new to the lifestyle..

thats great that you have been on collarme for 4 years now, but do new comers to collarme really need to be treated like someone just stepping into the comunnity?

oh the days i remember.... people actually used to answer the mail sent to them, the days before the PC and you actually had to go out of your way and pay to send mail,..... nowadays its hard to get an email returned, and email is free. remeber those days john? when you had to go find a magazine or newsletter, and then you actually had to hand write a letter, or even type it out, and then physically put an effort in to getting the mail into a mailbox. or you had to find that "place" where things happened.

now people get on the PC and say they are all these things, and they have know clue what these things they say are.

we can have a group discussion on all this at IML '08 in chicago.

When it's obvious from their statements that they are, then yes. How else would you have us treat them?

Well, you seem to want to paint with a mighty broad brush there, my friend. Do me a favor and practice your artistry on someone else, since I have never once portrayed Collarme or anything else as the be all and end all to anything. Of course, you may not wish to be encumbered by the facts.

Nor does it mean that they aren't spewing self-indulgent rhetoric. Which was my point in regards to the OP. What was your point?

quote:

How long I've been on Collarme has nothing to do with this issue, just as someone being a newcomer has nothing to do with it either. We are challenged and judged upon the validity of what we say... not how long it took us to say it.

Seriously, do you work for the Post Office? Do you secretly long for the days of the pony express and pine for the era of papyrus scrolls? Sounds like you have an issue with modernity and progress that has nothing whatsoever to do with me or this thread.

quote:

So you have no problem recognizing those traits, but do have a problem when someone like myself recognizes them. What do they call that? Oh, yeah... hypocrisy.

Am I supposed to be impressed or intimidated that you're actually attending a real time leather event? Get over yourself. I've attended more events in more states and provinces than you can find on a map.

Hey, what was that thread last week? Time dropping? Does this count as time dropping?

The Disintegration of a Lifestyle

Is our life style disintegrating so fast that there is no hope? Are the ALT.com’s and the collarme.com’s etc. so dilluting my beloved life style, that there is no chance of recovery? Can any real Master or slave survive the onslaught of miss information and just plain wrong people? I cannot truly imagine what the “NEW” Master’s must be going through in order to find their way, in a lifestyle that has become filled with slaves telling Masters what to do, with Masters handing out collars of consideration, with “weekend” slaves? And I will not even start with my thoughts on collared submissive’s. Am I the only one who is feeling this way? 20 years ago this was a Lifestyle that had an occasional fetish, and NOW it seems to be a Fetish with the occasional Lifestyle.

i have two late-teenage sisters who think they know what this is all about and find it fashionable to pretend to be into bdsm when they're really not, carrying purses with handcuff shoulder straps and wearing cuffs and collars, they think it's cool and cute. when i discussed this with them, it's all a fashion show, they're not into it and think the whole lifestyle is weird. what is the world coming to, lol!

I'm a submissive, and into giving up control. And there is no way in hell I am going to let any group of people determine whether MY lifestyle is disintegrating or not. Good grief.

In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, we are getting ready to host one of the biggest events in April that Florida has ever seen. The rooms and tickets are going like wildfire. This could turn our city into a major venue for the BDSM'ers of the world. So i think that we're just getting started. i can't wait. i am so excited for it will be my first.

I guess I'm not following the logic of how an event makes a lifestyle. Unless it makes YOUR lifestyle. Events have been around for a long time.

oh this is one of my favorite whipping boys/whipping topics/whatever...i go to the mall sometimes and it makes me cringe because i know three quarters of the people carting this stuff around have no idea what the symbolism attached to it really means. though it also sort of makes me laugh inside because i image what the reaction would be if they did know....though thinking about it more makes me sort of sad too lol.
