ORIGINAL: SteveAndJaz note in particular the lack of a capital D in the subject line. To expand a little, I do not consider myself to be superior to Jaz, she gets a capital letter. Also, I use her given name in almost all situations, my choice, yours to make your own decision on what you call yours. We are in no position to "tell" other dominants they are doing it wrong or have not earned the status as master. Not sure I understand what it is you are referring to here. The only behavior you have made reference to is the penchant many of us have for a certain fetish involving capitalization or for titles and/or pet names. Since these are commonly accepted parlance both here in the CM forums and elsewhere, it seems a bit self-righteous (dare I say "arrogant") of you to criticize it, especially in such an ambiguous manner. As for who is in what position to "tell" others anything at all, well, those who ask for opinions should not them be shocked when others voice them in response. The question of 'status' and titles, earned or no, is simply a favorite topic of discussion for many here and one that is likely to continue to come up no matter how much you rail against it. It is generally accepted by most of us here that our personal preferences in that regard are just that - personal preferences - and not to be taken as gospel. Perhaps it would make for a more enlightening discussion if you would kindly disambiguate your query for us.
