Hi there, I refuse to make an account so I am posting as anonymous, in truth I am shatteredsoul of http://www.alternativealbany.com (http://www.alternativealbany.com)
I wanted to make two very separate statements. First of all, I am a dominant person in the bdsm lifestyle. I frequently find myself telling submissives that talking the you posted makes them look less then intelligent. It is not W/we O/our etc. They are not proper nouns.
On another note, terms like Dominant, Master, and Lord can be. We have forgotten this in more modern times and changed our dictionaries because of that fact. In days of old, a Lord was an owner of an estate and deemed as highly respected. One showed respect by capitalizing the name. Also Master was originally a surname. As such it too was capitalized.
I think thats where it has been adopted from. One should do it to show respect. However somehow "dominants" got carried away with it and role player submissives made it seem like an everyday thing. I stick with my original remarks of "it makes a person look less then intelligent"
