• Minds which have been brain washed by the fantasy spin cycle of stereotypes!
  
• Narcissistic people which would drown if they dropped a mirror in the swimming pool!
  
• People with very low IQ's - which can not comprehend by no fault of their own.
  
• People that can't take a joke, or have a sense of humor.  I am a bit of a smart ass!

• Using capitalisation all the time, ie A/all, etc - drives me crazy
  
• People that shorten words - for example ur instead of your, or 4 instead of for - you know what I mean, makes it hard to read sometimes
  
• Women that are super subservient to all so-called doms on here, it gets a bit sickly sweet sometimes - shouldn't you save it for your own master/owner?  Or if you're not owned - it sounds desperate!

Well to a certain extent the internet IS all about me- I choose what I read, what I respond to, how I respond to it. 

For me it's people who think certain things DON'T happen in the scene because it's just "too out there."

The thing I find most annoying is the game of 'follow the leader'.    I guess that sort of goes along with the 'true way'.    For example, a person claims a submissive should have no eye contact with their Dominant and all of a sudden it's a 'rule'.    If anyone deviates from that hypothetical 'rule' then they are either a newbie or a wannabe.     

I just laugh at that now.

"OMG this is SO awesome, I can BE WHO I AM!  Totally FREE!  No more yucky vanilla rules!  Always what I've dreamed of!  Yay!

Now, can someone tell me exactly how to do this right and what I should say/do/act/wear to fit in?"

What I love about online is meeting people I would never get to meet, there are very real and experienced people here who for a variety of reasons one would never meet at a group and I love that.

What I dislike about online is legion but actions here mean little and actions define a person much better than the words they are able to use.

Scenarios like these bother the hell out of me:

1. People who assign me a role without getting my consent first.  If I haven't consented to play either the domme or the sub with someone, either online or in real life, and I get pushed into that role I feel rather put off.
2. People who look at a picture and maybe a tagline, but not the entire profile.  Cripes, would it kill some folks to at least run a brief search on page to figure out where their targets put "cybering" on their checklists, or to find out if the person is already partnered and no longer looking?
3. Poor spelling and grammar.  All I ask is that people who contact me at least try to match my quality of writing.  I'm not attempting for a final draft of a masterpiece here -- I misspell words and make typos all the time.  But at least considering one's audience before sending a message would be nice.
4. People who write stuff like *cries* during a post or email message.  That one just runs straight up my spine, especially if it's an otherwise serious, emotional statement they're writing.  I stop taking them seriously and from then on in become convinced that they're main focus is manipulation rather than catharsis.
5. People who contact me on CM's email site and then suddenly want to take conversation to some other venue.  
6. People who decide that just because a man enjoys prostate stimulation, that he can't be dominant.  If he wants it from his sub, then he's trying to turn his sub into a switch or a dominant.  If he wants it from another dom, then he's obviously a submissive who won't admit it.   I'd say that a dominant who goes about getting what they want as they can is proving that they're dominant because they're not letting other people's snide remarks shape their sexuality.

Assmaster has a very good point.   I'm sorry, but I can't understand why you'd consider even offering the opportunity to get to know someone who'd send an intro email like that.  Of course, if you feel you must absolutely send some kind of response so as not to be rude, I've found something like the following is kinda fun.  

Supposed dom (first email):
Ure hawt. do you have msn or yahoo?

You (first and only email back):

Thanks.  Yes.
