Verbal Tag

When I first used the web to meet people I remember being startled by how incoherent they often were.
Instant messages looked like automobile license plates. And getting past the opening “how are you” seemed like moving glaciers.
And my few recent test experiences show no sign that the increased popularity of using the internet for finding partners for doing BDSM has made things any better.
If you are looking to bring some fantasies to life why not go ahead and say what those latent longings consist of?
Sometimes it is if you have to pry one word at a time out of someone who has written you. I’ve listed as both top and bottom and I’m long past worrying about grammar. (Not that ellipsis abuse doesn’t continue to annoy me.) Getting a concrete sentiment, specific desire is tough enough.
It is extra baffling when a top is both unable to spell and unwilling to say what he wants. I wouldn’t mind trying to gently top from the bottom for a novice dominant but I can’t do anything for them is they are hidden behind a verbal fog. A pity. There may be more potential with someone like that than a character that insists on capitalization protocol.

This is just me personally, and mind you I have been in chatrooms sense before the world wide web actually existed, but its never mattered to me what type of lingo a person uses, so long as they can get there message across. I can understand how some peoples strong points are others weaknesses.
The only thing I don’t like is the W/we type stuff. That shows intelligence with a lack of use. Sad really
Capitalization protocol is one of my hard limits.
I can tolerate communications that look like car license plates. What rags on me is taking six emails to begin to get to the point. (Novices excepted.)
Especially with a top. Poor communications skills tend to make you feel nervous about letting somebody tie you up.
An example of something parallel from work:
About ten years ago people started calling up asking if all the books in my used bookshop are cataloged on a computer. That struck me as damned odd the first time.
Finally after pointless back and forth they told me the title of the book they wanted. I much prefer people who can just ask “Do you have a copy of Hamlet?”
