The Five Common Types of Internet Dominants

[Curtis]

Good thought, Master Tang.

For slavelucy and Pistol (congratulations on your first post, Pistol -- you were up to six by the time I saw this): I think that Tourguide's being misinterpreted again. (At this point I'm considering applying for a job as Tourguide's translator.) If I've got this right, his "Five Common Types of Internet Dominants" is really a list of five types of poser dominants (or Dumbs, as Lord Thomas puts it so eloquently), and isn't intended to include everyone. The ones who aren't posers would be the 'normal dominants', which label distinguishes them from the 'internet dominants'. (If I'm wrong on that point, then the rest of this post should be considered invalid.)

Assuming that is the case, then I still have to disagree with Tourguide on two points: First, equating internet dominants to poser dominants just seems wrong on the face of it. Aren't you as likely to run into a poser dominant in real life as you are in cyber? Personally, I vote for calling them 'Dumbs'. It's short and to the point; Second, as you all know, I'm not a dominant in any way, shape or form, BUT if I was going to be one, I'd WANT to be a "Caregiver".

[Okay, I've sat here for five minutes trying to figure out how to follow up that last sentence without violating the Code of Conduct, and I can't do it; so, I'll just leave it there.]
