I have browsed through many profiles of subs and I see a re occuring theme. Why do subs feel the need to tell the entire collar community about the great things that go on between themselves and their Doms?? It is like the family newsletter where the part about Uncle Joe getting a DWI and Aunt Sarah banging the pizza delivery boy are conveniently left out. I have seen too many times, people expressing how perfect their relationship is, how deeply they love, how they found the perfect soul mate and three months later, they are saying the same thing about someone else.

My question is who are you trying to convince???

Please if you have over 500 post's do not reply, I would like some fresh insight.

I looked to see if the following was already addressed and saw nothing. If I overlooked someone or something, my apologies:

Why does it matter what someone decides to journal if it ain't against TOS? Even if the journal[ist] seems stupid, irrational, ignorant, free speech isn't dead. Heck, I'd much rather see a person advertise their stupidity, so as to avoid the potential land mine...

For that matter, why should I care how Sally-Jane down the lane feels about her big ole Dommy Dom Jim-Jimbo? Their feelings belong to them and I have no desire to have any say in that; nor am I compelled in some mystical way to read what they have chosen to put out in cyberspace.

As others have said, in different words - examine your own motives before projecting on the motives of others. The results, if done in an honest manner, can be rather enlightening...

Did you expect them to tear down their doms in their journal posts?

Sounds like someone is a little on the chartreuse side.

To the OP

When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be
I know I'm gonna be like others here someone with a clue
When I go out, well I know I'm gonna be
Yeah I know I'm gonna be someone with a life too
When I'm posting, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the one posting just to upset you
In my postings, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I know I'm gonna be the one with humour shining through
And I would post five hundred times
And I would post five hundred more
Just to be the one who writes a thousand posts
Don't even think you can even the score

When I'm posting, it's for others to see
That I'm being much more friendly than you
When I'm posting I'll know what is true
That these Message Boards don't belong to you
When I'm posting, oh I know I'm going to be
Muhc more respectful of other opinions unlike you
When I post, well I know I'm gonna be
Holding the values of free speech very true
And I would post five hundred times
And I would post five hundred more
Just to be the one who writes a thousand posts
Don't even think you can even the score

When I'm browsing, well I know I'm gonna be
Also getting on with all the work I have to do
For when I'm living, I know I'm going to be
Enjoying life and not thinking so much about you
When I go out, well I know I'm gonna be
Living and forming yet more points of view
When I'm posting, yes I know I'm gonna be
I know I'm not gonna be taking posts as seriously as you
And I would post five hundred times
And I would post five hundred more
Just to be the one who writes a thousand posts
Don't even think you can even the score

Well I thought I put my two cents in, Well I can't say for all the other people on collar me because hey we're all different. I have my reason for putting stuff in my journal. I like to express the mood I'm in and it sometimes helps me out, it also helps notify my friends of my mood I'm in, almost as a check up kind of deal. Other reason could be how I feel about a certain someone or something. Again to help others out or myself. If people want to read them that fine it's their choice in reading. Just like I choose to read someone else Journal. Now it isn't my place to say something about it no matter how stupid, or idiotic it sounds. That their own thoughts I have no right to tell them other wise. But you can also tell them that their whatever.stupid. But really it's not helping them nor you.

Yes I have been in a relationship where it only last 3 months and I said how wonderful it was. But I was happy at the time and I wanted to put it there to let everyone know how happy I was. And after three months I left. I have my reason just like everyone else has their reason for leaving.

To answer your question I'm not trying to convence anyone but myself and maybe the person I'm with. If I wanted to convence someone I would have ran for president.

The stuff I write in my journal is there because I think the things SJ does to me are smoking hot and I want to share it with my friends. SJ is an extraordinary sadist and wonderfully imaginative. If it gets some of my friends hot and bothered to read about it, so much the better. Also, its a way for me to preserve some of the things he does with me. If I've written them down then they stay fresh and I can revisit them again and again.

Its not because things are always rosy, though they are, or because we are so perfect together, though we are, or to shout out to the world the magnificence of the one I serve, which he is...

We've been together for a year and I love writing about what we do.

well wishes ~ fairer than she

Amen to that!

I feel I must be one of the guilty ones- I do shout aloud the magnificence of Master (only because it's true! [It's twue! It's twue! What movie is that?]). We are together for over 2 years, so no revolving door here.

And I get the added benefit of frustrating cyber "doms".

Submissives glorifying Dominants: I'd say that's kind of what they are expected to do; not surprising at all.
And in Journals even: just as well there as everywhere else possible; it's simply yet another way to express it.
If read carefully, I guess those writings can actually show some more aspects of the person behind them; bring some glimmers of insight into the workings of their mind that cannot be as easily conveyed otherwise.
In earlier days, people would carve 'I Heart so and so' into the bark of a tree, and some romantics still do - perhaps it's possible to think of a Journal as a kind of cyber-tree where the 'carvings' have simply gotten more elaborate. I think it can be quite charming to read about someones adoration and passion for someone else, and I think it's a good thing that people are able to express themselves freely about this. Whether it's convincing or not would perhaps depend on whether it strikes a cord in the person(s) that read it - very obviously, it's a reality for the person who wrote it, and even if it is just for the moment, it still counts.

NB. Since I actually have far less than 500 posts, I expect to be seen as a weal authority in just this matter. I clearly feel the heavy burden of responsibility and will undoubtedly defend my position with vehemence and utter ruthlessness.

Best all around answer so far..(mostly for themselves i think)
A sincere entry is nice to read but if it goes on and on..well i begin to see it as lipservice..which in turn says bullshit to me.

I don't keep a journal, but write e-mails to my Mistress every morning, every evening and often many times during the day. In effect, I guess you could say it's a private journal between us. I've just finished (a bit late today) my morning e-mail.

She opens me up. She excites my mind as well as my body. I write to her the same way a rooster crows to the sun in the morning: in happiness that the sun has come up and I have another day to live under it. The same way that religous people say a prayer in the evening: to praise and give thanks for the fact that they enjoyed another day under Mistress' providence.

And if some subs can experience and reflect that with more than one Master or Mistress....so what? Isn't that the kind of sub you want?

Perhaps you just haven't yet given any sub that experience and joy which would make them want to tell how much you've enriched their life.

I write in my journal because I like to write, and I like to keep track of the journey (my own and the one with Daddy), and it seems like the place to do it. Mine is very positive because Daddy and I (who met 5 years ago to the day, today) have had less than one fight per year we have been together. That's not a brag, it's just that we enjoy each other on many levels, and try to always keep the other person in our hearts and minds before saying something that may not be easy to take back when cooler heads prevail.

We're in love and are taking this life one day at a time, together. I like to write about these things. If it ruffles the feathers of others because they are envious, that's their problem, certainly not mine.

Do I think some of those subs who write glowing material about their Dom are being disingenuous? Sure I do, but there are two salient points, which may have been made but if not I will reiterate -
1. Its not my business what they write in their journals and whether I agree with them or not, I also do not feel it fitting to villify them on the forums

2. If they have a Dom already, then I generally pass them by unless I intend to strike a friendship because... they already have a Dom.

I don't like hearing from people with thousands of post's because as you have demostrated, I think most are interested in just saying something in ridicule.

Not true, but I do like to laugh at someone's expense at times, especially if they're farm fresh, like you :-) .

did you say farm fresh? stop that, you're making me hungry! (insert homer simpson drooling emote here)

I have asked myself this question many times while profile surfing. People who write how "amazing" their owner is or how much fun they had being molested or whatever crap. I go "Who the fuck cares?!" I know I sure as hell don't.

My views were pretty much well summed up by OsideGirl already. I don't thinnk that people need to spew all over the place how happy they are to prove their happy nor do they need to make the WHOLE world know they're in a relationship. It's called a private life for a reason.

However, it all boils down to common sense. They do it because they can and thankfully no one is forcing you to read any of it.

Side note, I understand the logic of not wanting people with "over 500 posts" to reply since some of the "locals" do tend to be rude/snarky and have a habit of threadhijacking...but telling people they can't post will just worsen the backlash. Just ignore them if ya don't like it. Sort of like how you can ignore journals if you don't like them...funny how that concept works in so many situations huh?
