::Smiles:: I see Sylver is not the only one in your household who likes to quote me without mentioning who said it. Of course, Sir, to be fair, the laughing was at Sue's comment on the *rules of 3rd person speech*. Of course you can call her a white-silk, but that doesn't mean that the way you are doing it has anything to do with the Gorean series.
Of course, I guess I look at Gorean slightly differently. I see Stormi as posting here because she would be banned in a heart beat off many of the Gorean Forums for telling a dominant male he was totally out of line. It wouldn't even matter if she was right. From those I know in the leather community, protocol is just as strong, and slaves ripping dominants is again very unacceptable. I guess things are just different in Texas.
I think it's great that she wants to please you with learning to use 3rd person speech. I guess one of the reason it annoys me so much, is it's like people who bring others into their scene. Sure, here you have the option to not read the person, but sometimes Stormi says things that I want to reply to. If she is doing it to *please you* logic says she should do it places you GO (as you yourself said you don't come here much). Can't even be doing it to please Sylver, because Sylver said she isn't Gorean.
I personally find the Gorean culture a very wonderful thing Sir. It is the 3rd person speech, the use of things like *white silk reserved* instead of just saying she isn't for public use, etc., that make so many misunderstand it. It's kind of like how the Y/you, W/we, or capitalizing any pronoun for a dominant makes those within BDSM sound incapable of proper English to those who aren't in it (I get asked about that as often by friends as what things are expected of me as a slave).
I sent this to you off of the boards also Sir. You can reply on here, in email, both, or neither as you wish.
As far as Stormi goes, I find her intelligent, but really think that she could make her points a lot better if she quite acting like anyone who dares to disagree with her is personally insulting her.
