I am not editing nothing... and if you want go look back on Yahoo among other sites, you will see I'm been around for years, and then I left... no BS there. New Old Guard isn't BS either, in that type of BD/SM Lifestyle the rules are different than the crap you see on other places, where someone gets to wake up on day and decide "oh I'm going to be a Dom, and make money abusing people"... You claim to do your research well did you do any on Old Guard and how it came about after WWI and WWII???? Or how and why it was based as sadistic as it was??? New Old Guard came about later, as in Old Guard woman can only be slaves, there are no subs, and later at whatever point New Old Guard came about where women were Dominants as well. Ask anyone that was into the BDSM Lifestyle before it became the thing to be in and it went publically, and you'll see the rules back then were different, and still are different for those who practice and or live that type of Lifestyle. There are other groups of that type out there as well, I know there is, but it is the one I know and the one I was in, and if you do any real digging I'm sure you can find the information as to what makes it different form typical BD/SM out there today. I will even see if I can find an informative link for you to show you as such. Oh here you go: http://darkangel.hubpages.com/hub/Old-Guard-Protocols Here is some excerpts of it for you to show my points being valid: - There core believe was that new comers had to earn there leathers thus there place in the community. They had individual apprenticeship where the apprentice earned pieces of leather when the top or Master thought he was ready. This led to the practice of earning your collar. First the sub might get a collar of consideration, then a training collar and after months or even years might earn his collar. - Old Guard ... has been a long standing debate stating that old guard was all about form and protocols - Old guard believed in new members learning the rules and earning there place in the community. They had to practice strict protocol into how they dressed and spoke to members that were higher ranking then them. They had high principles and values and if you didn’t meet them you weren’t welcome to the group. Old guard had a rule seniority was proven through experience. You had to earn your right to be called Master and work you way up that is largely ignored today when so many call themselves Master’s with no experience at all. - Most old guard had a dress code. The dress code they followed showed experience without the need for words. There was significance to each piece of leather they earned and any member looking at someone could tell where they were in experience by what they had on. Social interaction was usually pretty formal. Those in senior positions usually took lead in conversations and they weren’t to be interrupted. Submissives weren’t supposed to make eye contact unless told to. They were expected to walk a half step behind there Dominants. There was certain ways they served there Dominants which varied with individual clubs and people. Some had to always serve on there knees while others could serve standing upright but had to carry and hand things a certain way. - Those old guard values and principles -- good manners, being courteous, not lying, honor, honesty, reliability, integrity, generosity, trustworthiness, responsibility, respect for others, common sense, a sense of humor, a willingness to help others, open and honest communication, trust or respect -- is what this lifestyle should be all about. - The leather mans handbook published in 1972 was the first published work that could be considered old guard. - Even the hanky code so many say is old guard. - The term Old Guard represents a set a standards’. A Code of Conduct if you will that a select few in the Leather Community chose to live by. - Some are now not differentiation between old guard and new but instead calling Vanguard. Vanguard is the first or foremost position marching into battle, also the first or foremost position leading a trend or those occupying a top position. Oh and note at the end of that article they give links to where they got their information to back up the things stated about Old Guard, so feel free to do some worthwhile reading. So as you can clearly see by these point and reading not only this one article but also go look up more for yourself, that Old Guard, New Old Guard, etc... is not the typical BD/SM you find all over the internet today, the rules were different, people had pride in what they wore and how they wore it. As I stated above that you can look back at "unedited" I earned my leathers and I was proud to earn the right to be where I am. I have almost every piece of my leathers to this day still, from my 1st slave bracelet with my name raised off from the ring which was cast in metal that way, to my last collar, the ones in between are gone. I have every piece of my gauntlets, chaps, jackets, and on down the line it goes, I rightfully earned every piece of my leathers and when I wore them I did so with great pride and respect because of what it took to earn each piece. So while you sit here and call me many things across these forums and you have you low opinions of me for whatever reasoning you chose, I have been respectful of you, and I can back up my claims with facts can you? I can go hunt down my former profiles on Bondage.com, Yahoo, among others and there are people around here who know who I am, whether they are active or not right now I do not know, for as I said I have been out of the Lifestyle now for a few years. So I am not troll, a liar or any BS like that, anyone who knows who I am will be able to tell you I really had everything I claim to have had, and some will be able to tell you I really threw it all away because people would have given a lot to have got what I had amassed over the years, but I did what I did so it would never be used improperly by another. So seriously go do your own research before you go claiming to know things which you honestly don't know anything about, my profile pic here now I have used for a long time going back to the last couple of years I was in the Lifestyle so I should be able to be found easily enough.
