ORIGINAL: sunshinemiss She doesn't claim to be a slave Aynne. So, I'm thinking it doesn't apply. As I read the other thread, it seems she is telling certain others to be as they claim rather than pretending to be what they aren't. And in fact, I have been impressed with Bella's ability to maintain her non-Gorean identity within the Gorean world. It's an interesting juxtaposition. Bella repeatedly says she is NOT a slave. sunshine Thank you Sunshine, I appreciate that. And yes that is exactly what I was saying in the other thread - it's fine if Star isn't a kajira...but if that's the case she shouldn't have 'kajira' in her handle. Star's postings have actually reminded me a bit of when I first came to that forum thinking I knew everything...I never thought I was a kajira but I still had the same ignorance of Gorean protocols. I'm absolutely mortified thinking of some of the posts I made back then and the more I learn about Gor the more I like and appreciate it. I've been (very slowly) reading the books from the beginning for about a month now, since Kimveri had me go look up a passage in Rogue, and while I don't think I'll ever identify as a Gorean FW I believe there is a lot of merit in Gorean thought. It's definitely something that seems shocking when glanced over on the surface, and I think that FW in the books are given a bad rap and I'm impressed with the real life FW's ability to claim their freedom as their own rather than being used as a trope, but in general I feel that the concept that men and women have different virtues is a very true one, and I appreciate the fact that Gor appreciates differences in the genders. I didn't see Aynne's post before she deleted it so I can't reply to that. I wish you well, Bella You can read it on the Gor boards Bella, I replied to you there. Let me add this as well. Who are you to dictate what someone has for a handle on a forum? Perhaps her Master chose that for her? Remember, he claims Gorean status, true or not, I don't care, but for you to say what a woman should or should no have for a handle here? Inappropriate at best, and arrogant.
