Should dominants be respected differently than subs?

Yes, and be grateful you get responded too.

Lucky for you I'm not a dominant who can show you no respect.

Is that the question for the poll?

This poll asks "Apparently more think so than I thought" as the poll question, which is usually listed above the available poll answers, and not in a subsequent post.

That's the way polls usually work, and in part demonstrates the inherent fallacy of polls. The only available answers are those intended by the pollster to bring you to their train of thought. Unless an answer exists for every possibility encompassed by the question being polled, or an "Other" (not applicable) copout answer available, the validity and bias of the poll are indeed questionable.

If I polled and asked "Are you happy with my kewl new poll", but only included two answers:

- "Yes"
- "No, but I'm an idiot who shits my pants and then eats it, but won't share"

... it would be pretty obvious from my available poll answers that I'm manipulating the results, quite possibly to push my own agenda.

What I don't understand is the amazing popularity of polls this week... asking the same old questions that have been debated in many threads. It sure does appear that some pollsters may be driving their own agendas, and didn't like the debates from before.

Perhaps it's simply excitement and discovery of a new toy?

Shall we coin a new term... "overpoll"?

This poll is off to a very bad start with it's listed question, and the two available answers make it appear to be very biased.

In this poll, a dominant, switch or slave has only one answer:

- "Yes you moron"
...otherwise they have to lie and say
- "No, I'm a sub"

Isn't that type of control very similar to "Spin Doctoring", or "Propaganda"... it certainly isn't scientific by any stretch of the imagination. The "Plus or Minus" (PORM) error factor on this particular poll (based solely on available answers) could not possibly be below PORM 100%... and IMHO that constitutes "disinformation manipulation" in it's essence.

Iwill, at one point you thought I was picking on, even though I wasn't. Again, I am not picking on you, but you are behaving as childish as the others who post stupid polls just to see their own names as posters, and just dropped a notch in my personal guide (which I am sure you don't care) as those who I will mention to others to seek council for when they are new. I am kinda wierd. I want to only suggest people seek council from mature people and just adding to this nonsense is NOT mature.

Ain't gona vote BUT ...

... everyone ought to be respected the same IMO.

Whatever role someone identifies themselves as on the ol power spectrum doesn't dictate what respect - if ANY - they will receive from me, whether or not I am in a dominant headspace or a submissive/bottom headspace.

Now everyone deserves civility - unless they prove by their conduct that they aren't deserving of even that small bit of courtesy.

Courtesy and civility are NOT the same thing as respect IMO, at *all*.

Thing is, seems the masses tend to not realize there *is* a difference and think of the terms as being the same thing.

Guess that's *my* pet peeve - people using words to communicate and not having the slightest idea what the hell they are *actually* saying.

LOL

Sandy,

You are right! I don't care.

(Sorry you set up an ally-oop and I couldn't resist.)

Also have you ever read Swift's "Modest Proposal"?
