ORIGINAL: ChatteParfaitt quote:
Now you can't have it both ways...! You may have meant that he turns it on or off as roleplay, but you didn't say that. Roleplay is not the default meaning of dominance, at least not to the considerable percentage of us who live D/s or M/s as a core personal relationship dynamic. So if you don't stipulate that which is relevant but not obvious, you don't then get to plead innocence/ignorance in regard of statements others *allegedly* "miscontrue" from you. Oh please. Even the rules of debate allow for clarification of points, terms, or phrases that may be ambiguous. If someone has misconstrued what I said, of course I get to come back and attempt to explain my actual meaning. It's called conversation. Now, it's entirely up to you whether you want to believe me, or whether you want to continue to push your own agenda of moral superiority. Whoa; my "agenda of moral superiority"???? For calling you on a BS.... sorry, "ambiguous" statement? lol quote:
As for proving myself, what exactly am I proving? That I am arrogant? Highly opinionated? That I thrive on confrontation? I admit to all that freely. Why don't we add "uses easily misconstrued phrases" and "makes sweeping generalization." I'll cop to that to, with the cavaet that the majority of regular posters on this forum do the same. The fog is lifting; mostly you're proving what an angry person you are in that you don't so much thrive on confrontation as seek it out. quote:
Your statement: "I brought it up because my experience of internet bdsm Forums (here, bondage.com and the old bdsm-online) is that the domliest of all tend to be switches who over-compensate in (apparently) feeling they hafta try harder or prove themselves or whatever it is." Is an example of a sweeping generalization that can be easily misconstrued. No, it's not a sweeping statement but an observation of a pattern of behaviour. While it may not be PC (of which I'm sure *you* can relate), I certainly did not say all or most switches behave this way. I'm just not surprised when the loudest person in the room turns out to be a switch. quote:
I consider myself a good communicator, but obviously in this particular venue, I have much to learn. What you are is an angry provocateur who has no need for reason or credibility; just a stage to vent. FYI, a good communicator does not use "easily misconstrued phrases" or freely throw sweeping generalizations about. They have 2 ears but only one mouth, too, not the other way 'round..... And since I now recognise you're just here to make theatre and not the discussion, I'll save myself the futility of trying to reason with you, now and in the future.... I concede - congrats; you win! Now to back sloooowly out the door.... Focus.
