CHAT ROOM ETIQUETTE

The chat room is my absolute favorite playground. And I have met some fascinating people there. 95% of the people who come in the room are friendly, non-judgmental and kinky. They have allowed me to explore previously unexplored territory. Anybody who has done any role-play with me (or just been a spectator) knows that my favorite role is a nine-year-old slut with a bi daddy. But that is not by any means the only role I have played. There are as many fantasies as there are people in the room. And I just love to help other people explore their fantasies. That's just as much fun as exploring my own.
Unfortunately, as with everything in life, there are those not interested in following the rules of the room. Now this may be fun to them. They may even think it would be fun to get the room closed down. And far be it from me to tell anyone what they should enjoy. Having always been a non-conformist, on some level I can understand the attitude. Though in this case I personally find it to be sadistic and childish.
Since the rules are posted in plain sight before entering the chat room, I'm going to assume that most of you have read them. They are by and large self-explanatory and just plain common sense. So I will just talk about harassment and inciting to hate. These can be as subtle as excessively pursuing a person who has not indicated a willingness to talk to you, or as obvious as name calling and racial slurs. Excessive is left to the whims of the person being pursued.
Name-calling is also a tricky one. In "polite society" calling someone a slut, whore, bitch, perv, etc. is considered an insult. In the room it is perfectly acceptable unless the person you are referring to objects. I often use most of those terms in reference to myself. And I don't find them insulting. There are, however, those who might. If anyone objects, an apology would be in order. They will accept the apology or not as they see fit. If they don't, the problem is theirs. You will have done the only thing you can do.
In short it is just a matter of letting people be who they are. Celebrating the differences and enjoying what you have in common. And a good time will be had by all. See you in the chat room.
