ORIGINAL: mistresssavanna
What I mean by traditional BDSM values are ones that those I have given praise to, will agree. Yes, this does mean embracing some of the Old Guard concepts. (*ducks).
See, now I have to go off and try and find these Old Guard concepts. Tsk.
quote:
No one from TIC will attack any of you, so you may put away your spears and daggers. No one is going to tell you how to live the lifestyle. We are only interested in those who are of like mind.
Now I'm confused. Are you a self-contained, self-regulating body of like-minded folks or are you an international organisation dedicated to promoting fair play and good practise across the whole realm of BDSM? To me, this looks like two different things. You may be interested in recruiting like-minded folk - you say as much and so do your followers, but I thought the interest of your organisation was focussed on those of us who needed education, or saving from others or themselves.
Tell me, do we have to be accepted into your organisation before we can be assured of your protection and guardianship? Isn't it the case that the very people you would be wanting to save/help/educate are the very people who wouldn't actually join your organisation?
Very confused over this statement.
quote:
I am not going to go anywhere. I have been up against the likes of all of you, and people like you. There is a common cross-section of individuals here and I am familiar with each mind-set.
So you admit that you put yourself against us? Is that what you just did there?
This strikes me as a very defensive statement. Not at all what I'd expect from a Lifestyle Domme. Maybe I'm simply transferring my ideals onto others by thinking this way, but I'd expect someone who's living the lifestyle - and someone who runs an international organisation - to have a little more self-control, a little more self-confidence. You don't seem to be exhibiting either.
quote:
I refrain from using overly intellectual language because I do not desire to puff Myself up, but to be understood by all people. I applaud those who are well-versed in philosophy and commend those who are well-read. Not everyone is of this motivation.
Nothing to do with being used to dumbing things down for the benefit of the vast ranks of plebes on ALT then?
Seriously, you've seen the caliber of the posters on CM, so why not fit in?
quote:
Lastly, I am surprised at some of the judgmental comments here. I realize you have your own little cliques and groups here. We do not seek to upset your groups, nor do we seek to judge you.
What you seem to want to do is make a name for your own little clique as you move on from your previous home. Fair play. Welcome to the sandpit.
quote:
As a side note, I would be more than happy to meet with any of you, real time, should you reside in the New York area.
If you ever decide to switch for the afternoon, I'm sure I can get the airfare together.
quote:
As far as the website. No, I did not think you would find the website impressive, and it is a good thing. If it were too commercial and clean looking, there would have been much more to say about this, no?
The actual content exists on the forum. Yes, a php forum. Again, decide which arrows to shoot and which targets you prefer. I do not ever think one can please everyone, all of the time.
Yes...about the site. You claim on ALT to be a blogophile, yet your VASTLY superior Wordpress blog stands empty and abandoned.
and the forum is virtually empty and has amassed barely 4,500 visitors in what...eight months? Sack your promotions team, baby.
At the end of the day, what's prompted this? You got your ALT account canned. Big deal. Live with it. You had a fan club. Woo. Good for you.
I assume you are of the disposition not to suffer fools gladly. I think you'll find there are quite a few on CM who don't either. Can the belligerence and defensiveness and you'll fit right in. Really.
