There's no doubt I've loved you and continue to love you. But as you say, loving someone and being IN love with someone are very different things. People can speculate all they want. It's one of the things that annoys me about the scene. People should mind their own business and stick to their own issues. If anyone wants to know what's what with me, just come and ask. <br /><br />CraigCraig Aychhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853109320153985359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-75610542796669716932012-05-23T14:28:06.041-07:002012-05-23T14:28:06.041-07:00Pink -- the folks who irk me are the ones who mora...Pink -- the folks who irk me are the ones who moralize about playing with married people.

This is not something I would ever judge anyone for, because every person's emotional state is different, but I am one of those people who will absolutely not play with a married person. Here's why: I get emotionally, sexually, and romantically attached to my spankers. This might make me less sophisticated, but I know my limit and I know I can't change it. For the protection of my heart, I will not go there.<br /><br />However, I also would never publicly speculate about what other people do because I realize that my own limitations aren't others'. It's definitely narrow-minded to believe that everyone functions the same way -- or that one's own opinion even matters when it comes to the relationships of others. <br /><br />At the same time, I don't think it's ok to condemn anyone for refusing to play with married people. It goes both ways here. Everyone has their own motivations, and you cannot see behind closed doors or into someone's heart. Perhaps they, like me, aren't close-minded, but protective. <br /><br />Anyway, that's my two cents -- which may be worth a great deal less.<br /><br />:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13639202397290909498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-6244285716856021812012-05-21T14:24:12.657-07:002012-05-21T14:24:12.657-07:00Cali -- my sentiments exactly.

I have not read the post personally, but did find myself disqusted over what I did hear. I struggle constantly with the freedom of opinions in regards to the internet and the multitude of people out there expressing themselves that are ignorant and lack perspective, especially when it appears that their intentions are not good when they target specific names rather than ideas/topics.

They had a hit with an innocuous song called "Hayride". It was banned from play in some places because of a line about "making love in the hay." Meanwhile, young men from both sides and Vietnamese civilians were being slaughtered in a pointless war and these people thought it was OK.<br />People are strange.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612917220751015657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-32044756327759587462012-05-17T22:59:22.872-07:002012-05-17T22:59:22.872-07:00Lea -- oh yes, that would be nice indeed.

Okay, that's their choice. I found other people to play with. <br /><br />I've had play partners who were married and also single, and I've been married and now single. Either way, relationship status had no bearing on being able to have a friendship or enjoying playing together.<br /><br />I think it's sort of like the ongoing "Is Spanking Sexual Or Not" debate. If people have their mind made up one way or another about how they think things work, they just aren't going to change it. If people minded their own business and concerned themselves with worrying about their own happiness, wouldn't that be nice?Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935712285136696225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-8150378076639602642012-05-17T11:30:41.017-07:002012-05-17T11:30:41.017-07:00Isabella -- :-) Thank you!Isabella -- :-) Thank you!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230915556455020371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-56021862095567390202012-05-17T07:44:09.164-07:002012-05-17T07:44:09.164-07:00I am giving you a standing ovation.

Where everyone knows everyone else and are very happy living there and taking people for what they are. It is sad to say when people get together in groups be it a sports club a blog or a community certain personalities will always seek the darker side, like to spread gossip, talk about things they think they know about and make it up if they don’t. I have been made very welcome by the blogs i am following and just reading about other people’s thoughts and experiences has made me feel i belong to something special and has made me very happy which is obviously what’s lacking with some of the less fulfilled members. Very much enjoying your blog and hope to be following it for years to come.<br /><br />Take Care<br /><br />BOB Bbobbsroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03926085355521677731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661741523263753420.post-18591013787914879932012-05-16T20:07:41.565-07:002012-05-16T20:07:41.565-07:00I have always liked your honesty Erica.

Good one Erica and so right on! The ...HERE, HERE! Good one Erica and so right on! The relationships others have really isn't any of anyone's business unless they choose to talk about it. It's like a friend of mine and I having lunch together regularly and one of the waitress in the restaurant spread the idea around we were lesbians. All based on false assumptions and innuendo and when I was getting involved with a really great guy, he was wondering because some guy told him my friend and I were lesbians. How nice. NOT! All because of one person flapping her jaws. At least he had sense enough to ask me and everything turned out ok.<br /><br />So I get a bit perturbed, to put it mildly, when this happens and it involves friends. It is tacky and rude at best, and just downright nasty and probably comes from jealousy. On another front, it is really sad that people have so much time on their hands they have to delve into other peoples' lives.<br /><br />Good one, Erica.

When I'm curious about something, I go directly to the source. But I think it's tasteless and invasive to publicly speculate why people do or don't do certain things with others.<br /><br />As you said in the age of instant access internet, some people-fans/admirers, etc may feel a heightened sense of familiarity with the "famous" spankos LOL! Because many bloggers are open and friendly maybe the commentors get carried away with their own sense of importance to the blog hosts. Therefore, they may feel it's ok to say whatever they please without any recourse. <br /><br />Um, NO!
