i don't like third person speak or the dreaded I/i, We/we slashy thing - sometimes i avoid threads and posts like that.

as far as not capitalizing my "i" or at the beginning my sentences - i'm simply being lazy.




Missokyst -> RE: third person talk (8/25/2008 2:58:34 PM)

It wouldnt work for me.  I think of all that stuff as props designed for a performance.  In other words for me, to use those affectations of submission would mean I am playing a role.  Even worse, it would mean that my partner needed those affectations to prove his dominance over me.  Thats not something I want to believe in someone who rules me. 
But, thats just me and mine. 
If someone wanted it, needed it, and it got them wet, more power to them.

i'm not annoyed enough to need a change, it just takes some getting used to.  i was wondering what others have encountered concerning third person talk.  It is fascinating when i see posts from people who refer to themselves as "girl" as in "girl obeys her Master," etc.  i do not sit in judgement, i am simply curious about what works for others.  i have a variety of pet names my Daddy calls me, and when we want to be just plain us, we use our "real" names.

We are not amused by third person speak...




BKSir -> RE: third person talk (8/25/2008 3:09:13 PM)

Ooooh, I HATE that slashy I/i thing.  >.<
Granted, when my pet does type or write me a note, he always capatilizes "Sir", even though I tell him he doesn't have to.  I've finally gotten him over the "i" bullshit too.  I don't hold to those kinds of protocol, and if I EVER caught him referring to himself as "it", or "this one", or something along those lines, I'd go ape shit.  He learned that very very fast, and that he was never to do that again.  "It", referrs to a footstool, or a desk, or a piece of garbage, and if he wanted to be looked at as a piece of garbage, then I would do with him what I do with any other garbage.

I do still allow him to refer to himself as "Your pet" on occasion, just as I refer to myself as "Your master" sometimes. And no, I don't tend to capitalize "master" or "sir" often in writing.

He is a person, and although he is 'under me', he's NOT 'below me'.  I will not put up with him thinking he is below ANYONE.  He is to walk proudly, with his head held high, secure in the knowledge that he is loved and I would accept nothing but the best as my pet.  And since he is my pet, it only stands to reason that he is below no man/woman.

I am similar, I write/wrote a *lot* of essays for college, and proof read for others, and was generally immersed in the world of academia for about 4 years.  As such, speaking in academic third person flows well for me.  ...



Hi Ivy,
OOOO oooo .... I forgot about that.  We had to write like that in the hospital too.  "this writer", "the therapist", etc.  Thanks for reminding me.

*chuckling at "tonto speak"

I believe the third person speech protocol has it's roots in the Gorean philosophy, not online chat rooms.

I'm not a fan of the speech, although protocol wise, it may have it's place. The slashy typing I abhor; it's just not readible.

IvyMorgan -> RE: third person talk (8/25/2008 3:20:17 PM)

Slash speak makes my eyes melt.

*nods*

Or should that be...

"It has been observed recently, that when reading so called "slash speak" the eyes of the subject girl melt."

?




Daddyssweetpea -> RE: third person talk (8/25/2008 3:30:43 PM)

Thanks for the input.  I'd have to agree with Kyst's response:  it gets me wet, so grammar be damned! 

P.S. This empowered one is using a capital "I" now.

Ohhhhhh   -    does that make Queen Victoria a dominant?   as i recall, she is reported to have said " We are not amused!"




Gwynvyd -> RE: third person talk (8/25/2008 3:35:24 PM)

Damn it.. some one beat me to it...

and yes.. "We are not amused" that sums up my third person talk.

Maybe it is good for gamers.. or roleplayers ( get out your dice folks.. or rock paper scissors ) but not in real life.. I would just feel like an ass personaly.

I think you've found a good answer ... if it gets you wet, let it be damned.  Enjoy!

I don't know, kiwi, but if she was she sure didn't seem to be having a good time with it.

...i was wondering what others have encountered concerning third person talk.


mostly insults, put-downs and jokes...especially in the online forum.  from time to time there are a few folks who express an affection/appreciation for it, when the topic is discussed here, but not often.
 
that being said, what pleases the masses, or is the "done thing" isn't this slave's concern...what pleases Master, is.




kiwisub12 -> RE: third person talk (8/25/2008 3:51:13 PM)

Exactly beth, if your master or sir likes it, then as a good sub/slave you will do it. If he doesn't, or doesn't care then you will do what you want to do.

my Sir doesn't like it, so i don't do it. And actually, its just as well because for me it feels artificial.

masterofdrkness2 -> RE: third person talk (8/25/2008 3:57:55 PM)

I have seen it used many times and places , but for me I cant say I like it , but as has been said before it is what ever the people involved in the relationship wants , personally If my girl is going to talk to me or send me a note .. just say what you want to say .I dont need slashes or third person talk to understand you 




Jeffff -> RE: third person talk (8/25/2008 6:49:45 PM)

Jeff does not care for it.

Leatherist -> RE: third person talk (8/25/2008 6:58:29 PM)

It's much more fun if you use interesting substitutions for the "i" or "my".

Random cycling nouns are amusing to play with.

For instance, they can be used to break bad habits. Such as forcing someone to reply to you as "this little nose picker."

Or just silly things really

Tea pots, cereal boxes-sex toys................[:D]





ReverendGypsy -> RE: third person talk (8/25/2008 7:05:54 PM)

You have got to love any series of postings in which Queen Victoria gets involved, that just screams of a good time.

The whole slash thing just... comes across as awkward to me, thats merely a personal approach - but it could simply be a sort of stumbling of the eyes over the visual appearance of it.  The / feels almost like a hurdle (and damn I just can't jump very well) when I'm reading anything.  However, I really shouldn't be one to speak, I know I've been horrible cruel to the common comma - if you know the origin of that phrase I praise you.  Out of curiousity in all of this, how do you feel about subs using "one" (i.e. "One is here for her master")
