The funny part, the chiding tone of the PP, is just as rude, arrogant, pompous and belittling but in a very childish, passive aggressive way.



Nothing about My post is passive, it should be taken as outright aggressiveness.
 
Good to see people here actually offering advise to this girl now.

. Only people who sometime indulge in lying assume that everybody sometimes lies and that lying is therefore excusable. The problem with the fact that you lied once is NOT that you lied, but that you now cannot be trusted to never lie again... IOW you cannot be trusted period.


In my experience, people who claim they don't lie tend to be lying to themselves. The circumstances under which lying is excusable is a big ol messy subject. But absolutist statements such as yours, think about what you are saying - all teenagers who lie about their age to gain premature access to the privileges of adulthood cannot be trusted, period - just aren't helpful guides for dealing with the world.



Actually, I have some experience with people who never ever lie. I cannot claim to be one of them myself, but I do know at least a two people who do not ever lie on principle and who has shown over a consistent period of time to be trustworthy enough to make that statement believable.

Also, it's not that I think that she is not trustworthy because she has lied, like I said, most people lie. But the fact that she justifies in her own mind that she had a good reason to lie does show -in my oppinion- that she cannot be trusted. If you can justifying lying for your own comfort and convenience in one situation, you are able to justify lying for your own comfort and convenience in another situation too.
Justifying the "rightness" or "excusible circumstances" of a lie is a different show of maturity than lying and owning the lie without making excuses as to why lying was the "right" thing to do under the circumstances... again, just my own oppinion.
I can understand somebody making a mistake and apologizing for it and wishing to move on. But making a mistake and then making excuses as to why the mistake really was not a mistake, or not so big a deal, or not an action the person be judged by... that's a whole different show of character.

I wish you well,

that's all i am saying.
i did tell you the reason why i did it but in no way was i saying it was the right thing to do or the best option i shouldn't of done it.

All the advice given here through out this now 15 page clusterfuck, was given before post 7 in this thread. I know this, because I was post seven, and gave all this advice. Not only this... but this thread mimics almost verbatim a year old thread by the same poster, (before she was legal to be here).

(BTW) by my signature of being eighteen here, I am informed that any content on this site is the responsibility of this site to moderate that it also be legal, so, if I were to receive any legal charges on me for any thing obtained that is illegal in regard to the violation of their admissions policy, it is deferred to site owners and MY LEGAL stance are covered, because, I signed a legal contract with a site who professes to not allow illegal (minor) pornography.

So yeah, I don't have to leave! and I get to be a dick some more.

I still say cut them loose and save them the hassle of having you in their life.

Everything else has been said adnauseum and prompltly attacked for being... not what she wants to hear, until some one coddles her and tells her it's ok sweetie, it really is how they said it, just their big bad wolves and you as a disobedient subly type need some one to hold your hand through the big bad forest of the world you put yourself in before you were ready. (or legal) and yes i will mention that EVERY TIME I post to you. I want your prospective to know the class of liar they are getting involved with.

CougarStud, I can understand your anger because I remember your posting history and what happened. When people ask questions about their personal life and are doing things that some of us feel are dangerous, unwise or ignorant, you are going to get a lot of different responses and to take out the part that they may have done something that people are responding to, is judging their repsonse unfairly.

When it is presented as an innocent question they wanted answered and not tell all the facts of things they said and did and they then become a victim of all the sadist at CM... well... all well and fine if you want to ignore the why's and how's of it all and be victimized... but really when there is more to the story and innocent question can become far more.

If people don't like the responses and some are pretty far fetched and rude... maybe they should be handling their personal relationships without the public promotion of it all. Simple questions rarely get nothing but attacked. It is the more personal and complicated one's that are subject to a bit more. Right or wrong... it is that way with people in real life and message boards.

Cali



I also offered her advice, from my very first post.  Didn't you see it? or are you one of those that can only concentrate on the flame? 

I will never understand this. I get so tired of people bitching and moaning about wanting advice, and those that actually give it are ignored.  People seem to want to seek out the posts they consider rude and mean, and those are the posts that are focused on.

Then not only are we ignored, we get generalized with everyone that supposedly "picked on" whoever the op is at the time.  Thought we were supposed to be helping the OP, not jumping on each other.  Healthy discussion is one thing, but this name calling, etc is not helping anyone

Wondering what the point of giving advice is if no one sees it. 

(this op, however, finally did start acknowledging the advice as well as the others, so I give her credit for that, more than others have shown) 

Personally, I have seen some changes in her since this thread started...so at least she is "trying"  and listening. 

Although worried about her choice, I wish her all the luck in the world

I don't really care what's *right or wrong* in terms of meeting up with people for the first time on the D/s front. I was speaking from a purely practical sense as a Mum of young people that age, with some younger and some older as well.

She's got a sense, as dark said, of her worth ....it's not a crime to recognise that you are an attractive prospect..Dom in the offing or not.

He's not HER her dom, unless I'm missing something ....he's a prospective one......and she's a prospective *whatever* to him and his wife. I haven't read one thing in the thread that's led me to think this is anything beyond being interested in the *prospect of*. .......and that's where MY advice has sprung from.

agirl



This is one rare case where her comment about the Dom "jumping at her feet" is exactly what I would advise her if she were my own daughter, being pursued by some guy.

In this instance, I would suggest that she aggressively demand a lot of trust-building from the couple; real names, addresses, phone numbers. She should give this info to a trusted friend before the visit, have a "safe call" to speak to when she is there, etc. Let him earn her trust.

She may be willful, disobedient, and self-centered, but as the parent of a 19 yo boy, I see that as pretty much par for the course. Scold away if it makes you feel better, but only time and the wisdom of experience really changes an adolescent.


Scolding never, ever made as much of an impression as a calm and sensible discussion in this herb garden.  Yelling and doing the *stiff talking to* thing simply never worked here......it just served to put defensive-fences up which just had to yanked down again later on.. No-one got anything worthwhile from it. I'm sure some respond best to a *royal kick up the arse* but it's not my default position and I'd be a crap parent if that was required.

Sometimes it's clear that young people are going to do whatever it is they've decided  they are going to........and the BEST thing is just to arm them with as much information as possible, while voicing your concerns/doubts and so on. It quite possibly will be rejected in the *moment* while they're hell bent on some *wild* scheme......but it's still there in their back pocket, like a swiss army knife.
After a certain age , I can't keep them safe, I can only help them keep themselves safe and 'though I can't put an old head on young shoulders, I'm prepared to lend them mine.

That constitutes harassment.
If you have a problem with a user on this site, then you notify a moderator and they will take the action most appropriate by their judgement.  It is not your place to "punish" other users for whatever misdeed they have, or you feel that they have, done.  As a self-proclaimed mature adult you should already know that.

NO fuck me no... I never claimed maturity, just legal. I am not "PUNISHING" her, just reminding her. "THEY" have shown a lack of discernible accountability, so, fuck'em. Ban me if they have cause. But they gotta get cause.

I do miss the days of Sailing Bum and DomiGuy.

There are just too few individuals here I want to read from. And I piss most of them off any way.

Dark. I like ya. I like what you got to say. I know I am an ass hole. I know I crossed wires with ya and ya don't like me, I can live with that. It sucks but I'll get over it. My apologies either way. You have your way, I have mine.

Viridana... don't know ya, don't care. Seems like your heart might be in the right place, don't know, don't care.

The rest of ya.... stay away from people who have SHOWN themselves untrustable. YOU TO OP! Just cause I wouldn't trust ya to cross the street, don't mean I wish Ill will.

As in post 7 I still affirm, NO ONE BUT YOU can protect your self from people like you.

Cali & DrkJourney, I am only talking to the abusers, not those that offered insight.
 
Lockit,  I have been using public message boards for many years and never encountered so much hostility as I have here.  Sure most every board has a resident asshole or 2 but this thread is just an example of peoples power trips.  Not untill they had beaten some into submission, do they finally start act caring and open.   sheeeesh, talk about childish games or mallcop mentality!
 
What you are saying is that if we post a personal question, we are fairgame to verbal abuse?  Some community.

Some people *hear* a lot better when they aren't being bellowed at. Not much you say matters as you just drown out anything worthwhile with your loud and self-professed *dick*  or *asshole* attitude.

It doesn't matter one bit that anything I have to say might go ignored, I'll make a bet on what she's pays attention to, though.
