My objection to that is an aesthetic one, though.<br /><br />I think that it's useful to separate the leather community, to which you belong (or did?), from a large, vague community consisting of anyone who's ever read about kink online. Those within the leather community have chosen to abide by a certain set of protocols, because that's what turns them on and makes them happy. Most of us, though, are just making it up as we go, based on whatever we like at the time. <br /><br />I would love to learn more about leather culture. In my head, it's Fight Club meets Catherine Opie meets Freemasonry.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329176144219494775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069171753572071763.post-49351136766661730502010-06-11T12:33:15.026-07:002010-06-11T12:33:15.026-07:00I agree on the subbie part.

What I absolutely detest is the way that writing I/i or We/we has monopolized the internet bred community. I come from way way back in the leather day. This writing did not exist. It is not part of any proper protocol. I find it an oxymoron actually. if you are going so far out of your way to separate your roles, then perhaps you ought to separate yourself and whoever you are with in the sentence. It is acceptable, albeit not necessary, to use capitals as a sign of respect to a Top. It is humbling, if submissive, to refer to yourself in lower case. But combining the two is awkward, silly and almost disrespectful in my opinion. The only thing I find good about it, is I am able to weed out those that have learned this 'lifestyle' on the internet from those that learned it from within.<br /><br />Thanks for the topic!
