Two years or so ago I divested myself of all the D\/s mailing lists I was on but the one I own. It was a fine idea, and one I have not regretted- mostly because of the following:<\/p>\n
\u201dThe walk in beauty, is most real, most required to let go, to have all
\nresistance in body heart mind and spirit fall away like a thin
\nweightless veil.\u201d <\/i><\/p>\n
Due to a yahoo glitch, the worst of these lists still sends me mail, even though I am long ago unsubscribed. And, God help me, occasionally I read<\/i> it.<\/p>\n
And I hate.<\/b> <\/p>\n
This list is composed entirely of the worst sort of specimen\u2026 \u201cDominants\u201d whose attempt at flowery language and faux \u201cwisdom\u201d make them read like Dogberry<\/a>, \u201csubmissives\u201d who are so wrapped up in godawful sub-netiquitte and wretched, obsequious sniveling that they never actually have anything to say<\/i> (As that would detract from their being empty vessels of submissive beauty, filled to overflowing with the power of the Master, Lord Neverreallymettheguy.)<\/p>\n As far as I can tell, the entirety of list conversation goes like this:<\/p>\n Lord Monkeytstardarkness<\/b> posts someone else\u2019s essay in lieu of having a thought of His own in His majestic, jowly hambeast skull.<\/p>\n slave gossamersofabutt <\/b> swoons, overwhelmed with the Domly powers of Lord Monkeytstardarkness\u2019 <\/b> cut-and-paste skills, and how the article so exactly resonates in her own life in the trailer park.<\/p>\n slave tremblingchinsoflust<\/b> Does not, in fact agree- so there must be something wrong<\/i> with her to disagree with the towering Dominant Majesty of Lord Monkeytstardarkness<\/b>, so she must remove herself<\/i> to the corner in order to meditate on her failings, and await the chance to be filled with the wisdom of her Dominant. And oreos.<\/p>\n Repeat until everybody involved has finished touching their sticky bits, repeat as necessary, use plenty of butter.<\/p>\n It took me while to finally figure out that this is all just cybersex for the ego; that I was never<\/b> going to find an actual conversation among all the \u201cW\/we\u201d and \u201cThis slave\u201d and orgiastic hambeast nipple twisting which passes for grammar, charm or substance in these places. It\u2019s an excuse to feel all Dommy or Slavey or whatever-the-fuck<\/i>, without actually having to do<\/b> anything. It makes furries<\/i> look healthy.<\/p>\n Poor z111<\/a> – she actually lives<\/i> near these people, who I believe are pictured here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Two years or so ago I divested myself of all the D\/s mailing lists I was on but the one I own.
