Best wishes to all of you - Daddies and LGs alike. Nettie and I are preparing for a long adventure together. My already limited time for this social conduit will soon vanish.
For those of you who are regularly in touch, my e-mail will remain unchanged.
A few reflections:
*This board should ALWAYS remain GIRL-centered. Daddies should relish the scent of estrogen and refrain from treating this forumn as just another testosterone-driven, male-dominated site.
*DG has never needed a Daddy-Dom-Divinity, especially not a real-life Chihuahua impersonating an alpha-male pit-bull terrier, growling and barking all over the place every time any poster has the temerity to disagree with the most insignificant point. There are scores of sites where that sort of behavior is both acceptable and expected. Must that be so here?
*In the early days of this site, some talked about community. There did, indeed, emerge a sort of "sisterhood" (yes, Leigh, I also love all that this term implies). In my mind, that energy is what this site should embody, sharing stories and info., posting ISOs, hooking up with potential mates and online pen-pals and, above all, dispensing a healthy RESPECT for the diversity among its members. In the
"real world," no community, regardless how isolated, is nearly as homogenous as they might appear on the surface.
I happen to believe that the heavy DOM/B&D emphasis here, in particular among a few of the Daddies, is quite in contradiction with what the Daddy-LG interaction suggests - a nurturing/guiding approach by the Daddy to elicit a LGs natural expression of her innermost desires. I can neither conceive of referring to my little one as my slave nor do I have any interest in iron-fisted control/punishment simply for the sake of it, or because that is what DOMs (not me) are supposed to do. Nevertheless, I recognize that many Ds/LGs come here with a much different perspective and I respect that they belong here as much as anyone.
*Arguments about right or wrong, the nature of..., the proper way to...are all based on the fallacy that any subjective aspect of a phenomenon as personally specific as one's sexuality can be defined, debated, or disproven. My lone, protracted pissing contest with DR had nothing to do with the initial point raised - it had to do with the fact that there are no "bonafide" experts in the "scene," and therefore there is no one qualified to assail the experiences or assessments of others. So, why, on a site dedicated, in part, to encouraging and facilitating female incontinence and diaper-wetting, has the majority of the spray originated from one egomaniacal Daddy?
*That said, DR does belong here, although I am not alone in wishing for a kinder, gentler version less-enamored of himself, his attack-dog demeanor, and of proffering his resume with virtually every post - how many groups have you founded and helmed - I've lost track?
*Anais - welcome back! I may be leaving, but it appears that you've returned with the same warm, mischievous spirit as before. Some of the girls are clearly wetting themselves with glee, and that is ALWAYS a good thing! :)
