Dear MaitresseEden,
My opinion is the fellow is playing the odds. He has read a few bdsm sites, as well as "relationship" forums and thinks his manner is appropriate, or somehow what will interest you enough to solicit your interaction. Or, he is just messing around and doesn't really care if anyone replies. He has no doubts however that those who do reply will be the sort he can play with, lets just hope no one finds themselves at his mercy, or in a position which they are dependant upon him for any sort of equitable human compassion.
I am not one who shies away from trying to establish contact with women on the net. Neither am I one who shies away from doing that in real life. It is a wonderful thing to add to that proclivity, which is what the net does.
Funny thing is, only a few years ago one could always find somebody to talk to online. A simple inquiry, nothing so detailed and bold as what this fellow has sent you, was adequate to illicit several replies from submissive, or shall we say women who wanted more than vanilla romance, and the uninspired missionary style sex from their partners. Not that sex is all there is to a relationship, but in one where the two, or whatever get to enjoy sex, it is pretty damn important.
Another funny thing is most Mistresses have a policy where you have to approach them with a thorough, lengthy bit of prose in any initial, unsolicited attempt at correspondence. Not only Mistresses, but submissives too want more than a simple "Hi, how are you?" in such attempts. The problem is after writing and sending such very detailed, and heart felt attempts, one is always no better off in most cases than if they just say "Hi, how are you?".
I am not sure if I have attempted to establish a dialogue with any reading this, but if a brief little opening line don't get the same, I do not pursue it...with them. Of course this fellow was, is, or esteems to be disrespectful, and blind to your stated views and position, but not all men, or women who use the net to make such contacts are.
So my fear is with all the negative attitudes regarding the matter of internet communications we will lose a very wonderful thing. Which is, human beings can communicate on a personal level. A level which as a rule, is not facilitated in any other way.
It is enough we are persecuted, and driven to conformity by means of the opinions of others in the so called "real" world. We should not allow such to also restrict us in this the "virtual" world. It is good you did not simply delete this fellow's email. It is good that you decided to engage him because in so doing you are teaching him how to act.
Curiously, I have found the way folks act online is pretty much the way they act offline so your efforts will improve both worlds. Thank you M'Lady, for taking the time to dominate a situation, and therefore perhaps improve all of our lives. Most would have simply deleted the email, and the world would be without their efforts to make it a better place. You have shown your true colors, which are the colors of a dominant who cares.
