I will be back, few loose ends to tie up and such, but when I 'go', I'm gone. Take Care Y'All, Sean. Ohh, you old bugger *sniffle* Sir, I mean.... I'm deeply offended that you use my thread to announce your departure from TSR, and EVEN MORE OFFENDED that you're going. Really Sean, really? Can't you just pop in now and again and say something, you know, Sean like?? I'm sorry I didn't get to know you better because I would have liked that (even if you wouldn't), and if you are determined then I wish you the best of everything (but I'm still offended).

To me most people on this site are either clicky or just ignorant. We haven't been in the dynamic long and wanted a bit help is all. Sorry if I have gone on a bit but I'm angry. 25 Nov 10, 4:12 AM 333-528-841 CA, 3 yrs Miss_Tara wrote: I have asked to have contact with couples in simular or a like dynamic as us and have no response except one person and she is a submissive and doesn't know much of our dynamic.

Maybe those in a dynamic similar to yours have not been on to see your thread. There are many who don't always have time to come on here and may have missed the topic. I do recall someone posting a link to TSR's sister site on your thread. I'm sorry that you think Most on here are ignorant or clicky. Most members have never met each other and there are many different types of dynamics covered by everyone here.

I have already told Sean that I was very sad with his decision but wish him the very best wherever life decides to take him. Although this is just a website, you get to "know", respect and look forward to posts and communication with certain members. Sean, you are one of those members. You will certainly be missed and I hope from time to time you will pop back in, if only to keep us in line and to let us know how you are doing. 333-528-841 Life shouldn't be measured by the breaths you take; but by the moments that take your breath away - unknown Edited 25 Nov 10, 6:49 AM by 333-528-841 25 Nov 10, 2:55 PM SirSeven 3 yrs If you go Sean, you will be missed. I'll admit I've been considering leaving myself... but I haven't made up my mind yet. Can anything be done to make this site worth fighting for? To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. -Elbert Hubbard 25 Nov 10, 3:30 PM SeanT70 9 yrs Lord_Uther wrote: You're def gonna be missed Saun!

When I said I wouldn't be back after I go, I cannot express how unlikely that is. The sentiment of missing the few is returned, because there 'are' people' I care about here, but my reason for leaving far outweighs the possibility of staying on, even if things changed in a nuclear way for me. SirSeven wrote: Can anything be done to make this site worth fighting for? No, which is why I'm so certain I need to leave; it's about self realisation and re-evaluation of my personal life. I've been keeping tabs on a few threads of late, and perhaps, just perhaps, if we got rid of around 97,000 people from the membership, I could stay, because these people are writing threads and posts about something they don't even know exists in their own mind, and when they write about it, they have no possible clue what they're talking about in the least. Confused? Good, so am I. I'm not questioning people's methods, nor if people choose to live in the same house or not, but for the love of all that is unholy, please be consistent and straight in what you say, and then what you're doing. There was a thread that, whilst in no way at all, did it question what I've been doing, it made me question at a very deep level that very thing. There was another thread that made me question myself as to whether I should even practice M/s at all. That together with other personal issues has rocked me to the core, and I know it's right for me to move on. Then none of that mentions all the bullshit posts day in day out that if Christ rode a bike with square wheels, he'd made the Angels speak to the people for him, because his voice woulda developed a tremolo over time with the amount of crap we read sometimes... So there ya have it..you asked, I have no secrets, and will tell ye no lies, Best Regards, Sean. 26 Nov 10, 10:52 PM mutable 2 yrs There was a post I made, back in May, that I remember very clearly. The thread was 'Dying Weboards' I think, and I can remember how strongly I felt about the inclusiveness to this site of different kinds of dynamics/people. I also remember a post from a particular person that I disagreed with and tried to argue against (in my way). That was 6 months ago. 6 more months of he and all of you... and other stuff. Today, I understand what that person was trying to tell me and I think I understand (in part) why some are leaving. I also have to say "I agree". I don't want to be told my relationship is abusive, or that he is not honourable, or that I should expect to feel safe and respected because, quite honestly, I am an adult and walked into this with my eyes wide open, knowing there would be surprises. Whatever I do feel is because he allows it - and that's the end of it, regardless of anyones opinion. I don't want to hear that submission is a gift, 'cos that pisses me off SO MUCH I could spit. I don't really want to hear about a lot of things (including monogomy!) because usually the problem turns out to be a naive s-type or a crap d-type, and we perpetuate the cycle of basic advice whilst standing guard against 'abuse' fanatics and fantasists. I'll help if I can because sometimes I think I may have something useful to say, some other perspective... but really I'm guilty for indulging my own ego and ignoring the ethos of this site. There are those here who will understand me and that's enough - I like to think I understand them too. For those that don't, never mind; I won't disrespect you so don't disrespect me, even though we may be on different planets. I am sorry if some are in a truely abusive relationship, but this site is not the place to dictate to others what SHOULD and SHOULD NOT be, because *some* of us ARE abused occasionally and we accept this. It is what we signed up for, what makes our (and our d-types) world go round. The fact that *some* may wish to discuss this here, need a new perspective or just vent does not mean we all want to be 'saved'. So you know, I think I'm a pretty kind hearted person and I don't mean anyone any harm BUT, I'm just saying that *now* I understand what that other person was trying to say about this site and why some want to leave. 'We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are' Anais Nin 28 Nov 10, 3:04 PM 898-443-818 US, 5 yrs Mutable, i agree with all you have said. It would hurt my heart if SirSeven and Sean left-my Master is an open man, but even "open" men leave me wondering sometimes i love having the male pov once in awhile from actual, living, breathing, people who engage somewhat in what my Owner and i do. You know, it's just nice to have their POV. i can get a newbie's opinion anywhere of about 973,976 places on the internet. You can't get wisdom just anywhere. We have already lost Raven's voice and i used to learn so much from them-so much from the old members who don't dare peep in anymore. Imagine how many new "potential" members have been scared off by the fluff they see when they pop in and so they keep looking. 898-443-818 i am a slave-i have no rights, no safewords, i do not say "no" to my Master. i do not have "limits". i have entered into consensual slavery, so that may help explain the views in my post.

Just hoping some come back. It gets lonely here when there are so few who have experience to learn from. Too many whom i really admired, are long gone. It hurts to see others even consider leaving. When MacCain decided i wasn't to post here, he allowed me to post on a "by invite only" kind of site. There only experience members living 24/7 TPE were allowed. A rather curious thing happened. We had very little to talk about because we agreed on everything. We ending up talking about the weather and pets and other small talk, until we got bored and stopped going. So although it seems like always agreeing would make this place better, it would make it dull. This is why i prefer TSR to other places. There are some who know their stuff, some who are learning, and always someone new dropping by for added comic relief. This is why i begged MacCain to allow me to post again. p Next page
