The Arbitrary Sir

[thir]

Consider this, then: At the request of a dom, should a sub--even one schooled in Gorean philosophy and the like--*not* call a dom Sir? This has happened to me more than once and I have been scoffed at by telling subs not to call me Sir. It seems to me that they cannot truly respect me because they do not know me, and I thus find it nothing less than insulting to be presented with such a sugar-coated falsehood.

I am with you on this. I disliked subs with whom I had no relation calling me Mistress, that was meant for My subs and they earned that.

I can see the problem for a sub who has been instructed to use a specific mode of adress, but that is their problem. I think people have a right to be adressed as they wish.
