There is much to be said for good manners, aka politeness! In everyday life, nothing wrong with opening doors, offering chairs, saying thank you/please, particularly with oldsters, women and children and generally "being nice". Added advantage: to those who insist on being jerks, politeness tends to throw them off (there are, of course, the terminally intractable, in which case avoid them or be ready to go to the mat). In the D/s dynamic/BDSM relationship/ plain old Scene & Play, there are ways of being polite and still also be deliciously Dominant -- "Be good enough to (whatever)", implying that if the sub is not 'good enough' there will be severe consequences; or "Would you be good etc."; Might you consider...", and so on... A lot of it is in how you intone the question: at times matter of factly, other times sarcastically, perhaps in some accented manner (pick your region), or snidely, as if doubting the sub has the wits and capacity to do as asked; and then, there is always that wonderfully haughty and patronizing Oxford English! As for the tired old "Kneel etc. etc", it's OK on defined and select scenes, every once in a while (like having a hot dog); but generally I leave it to the rednecks and the great unwashed...
