Hey Sophie,
Your post made me smile. And thank you so much for stating what you did.
Isn't it interesting how some of us who play in this sphere, no matter what other's perceptions might be, just are generally better behaved, polite and proper in stance but in actuality on another level ... MUCH naughtier and/or nastier in practice?
Did I just make sense or not?
Hugs,
Elisabeth

Protocol, information, negotiation, manners, rules, deferential behavior, respect, boundaries, after care, responsibility, consent...these are the most important values we have as a community. I do think that it matters and I think it shows in our discourse and the way we treat each other. I feel really fortunate. As I said before, you guys are wonderful people and I'm happy to share ideas with you.
