A Matter Of Respect

[innocent_nympho]

wow batman, that was nicely put. it's good that you're sticking up for all the worthwhile guys out there, and you're right, there are many great guys out there that deserve time and respect. it just sucks that there are a few bad apples that are more prominent and they gives the good guys out there a bad name. this is especially true when it comes to internet interactions because alot of people think that it's okay to disregard social mores when the interaction is not face-to-face (women and men). just a few minutes ago, a guy messaged me on these forums. i thought he just wanted to talk and maybe share experiences in spanking, but within a span of literally minutes, he had already asked me how he should spank me, if i'd been bad, and asked me to come visit him in montana! this is all without asking anything about me or having any kind of normal interaction (i.e. a greeting).

anyway, thanks batman for writing this so poignantly. it's guys like you that convince us girls out here that there are still gentlemen in this world.

Your Welcome, Innocent Nympho. I'll admit I start suggesting meeting in real life pretty quick also. Sometimes, in the first conversation. But, it's because I do my best work in person. I don't like computers when it comes to trying to start a relationship with another person.

That said, I understand the need for normal conversation also. But, I like to get past that stage as fast as possible online because it is waaaaaaaaaaaay too hard to really communicate that way.

Batman,

I couldn't agree more. I hate to say it (and I'll never hear the end of it) but the Bottoms, Subs and Brats are what we Tops live for. A good Top always treasures them, and any "dom" who doesn't is nothing but a wannabee.

Well said.

Thanks for saying what needed saying, clearly and respectfully.

I've posted on this topic before and it needs to be reiterated frequently!! From those to whom much is given, much is expected. We as Tops have an absolute responsibility to ensure that the Bottoms are treated with dignity and kindness....and that limits are always communicated and respected.

I like to think that most of us are pretty nice guys......don't let a handful of jerks ruin it for us. 'Nuff said.
