Yes, and this is one of the reasons i've stopped participating on forums pretty much in general - for some reason they all seem to be going for the extremes these days. Maybe it's just me. But whatever happened to just discussing things and sharing ideas? Hmm....[;)] In my opinion it is all very hypocritical. I've seen insults levied across the lines from all sides. From those berating people they consider bedroom types, submissive versus slave, my kink is better than your kink, or how low (extreme) can we go. In the end you're doing things that only involve the person/s laying next to you. The rest of the world couldn't truly care less. As for participation, yes, I am a member of the group named and several others where the members participate. Extreme behavior can come in many guises. From the inexperienced to the very. It's a matter of personal choice. I cannot speak for others, but I will say this much. I won't allow anyone to contaminate my soil. The precious space inside of my head is his. In the end, what I'm witnessing is no different than watching the news, reading a book, or seeing something out of the ordinary on the street. It can only impact me if I permit it to do so. My kneel has made me more tolerant, much more compassionate, and willing to see things from a different perspective. It has also made me less judgmental. People are people after all. That doesn't disappear with BDSM. ~porcelaine Hi porcelaine, i apologize if i offended you - it wasn't my intent. i don't participate on the FetLife boards at all. i was really referring to some of the conversations i've seen here on CollarMe the last few months. i'm not dogmatic about anything - i think that everyone is unique (one of the reasons for my screen name) and that the ways to do the things that we do are as varied as the people who do them. This is why i mention simple discussing and sharing vs. some of the dogmatic threads i've seen lately - it just puzzles me. And for me too, submission, as well as my yoga therapy training, has made me much more tolerant, compassionate, and accepting as well - which is one of the reasons i've decided to just not participate in the vast majority of the conversations - it just doesn't seem to go anywhere positive to do so, for me. Again, i didn't mean to insult you or anyone else in particular - i was responding to SimplyMichael's post, but i don't know any of the people that he named, either on the FetLife boards or in real life.
