  CJ ~ It makes sense to me, as for skalds post that you have mentioned I made a couple of comments on the pictures, my reason for commenting is my husband and I are proffessional photographers and videographers.. we've seen very strange things come about.  However, skald is always posting very pretty photo's, revealing life where she is, so I guess a little close to the bone and I for one certainly didn't mean to hurt her feelings however it seems many of us did.
   
  I have no problem with posting anything, supersilious or not when I post it goes out there for comments, good or bad.  Its up to me if I am offended or not.
   
  I do hope you fix your pc, ohh btw just so you know, face book is sending out a lovely little virus at the moment that sneaks in through the "Blocked Pop up" windows setting, its annoying but not damaging.  Just thought I'd let you know.

  Hi there - Lucy - I do hope that you are well.I see that your and the hubby's venture is taking off which i am quite happy to see.I am sorry that I have not been around much.But I had to stop taking my back meds when i got sick last week,and that sent me on a bit of a bender - so I had to start taking them again,and now my body is going the other way - so it has been affecting my moods and not in a good way - but i am out of it now.
  By the way - thanks for the heads up on FB - appreciate it.
  I know that you have no problem posting anything neither do i  - however,there are some members of our older generation,who think a little differently and take comments the wrong way sometimes.I know that you and hubby are professionals.I also know that there are ways of creating those type of effects if you want to.I have done it a few times myself- but for my own amusement and not for public consumption.
  I was thinking about your comment that you made on the post,and i was not wanting to hurt your feelings by what I said.(honest)***I think we know each other a little better than that dont we?***
  I am not sure whether its a case of think before you comment,or think before you post.Its a bit of a difficult to work that one out

  Originally I came to SC to see if I could learn what being a submissive entailed.  My previous Dom had told me about the site as he felt that I needed other sub to communicate with.  I began by only reading and not posting.  I then actually plucked up the courage to comment a little.  I am glad that I did find SC as I learned so much from others.  I realised that I was not some misguided freak and that there was nothing wrong with how I felt and who I realised I was :-)
  
  Over the months I found that I not only found D/s posts interesting but everyone else that was here was interesting too.  There is a lot more to me than the fact that I am a submissive.  I love people.  I love music.  I love films and books.  I love wildlife AND I love stimulating conversation!  Little by little I began to make friends here.  At first it was very important to me to be accepted.  It is part of my natural character and my submissive nature to want to please people and be liked by people.  I was a little afraid at first that the new friends I had made by making comments within the non D/s lifestyle would not feel the same about me if they read my posts about my D/s lifestyle and all that it entailed but, you know what?  I realised there were 2 ways to go with this.  1.  If they were to judge me so harshly without truly knowing me then I guess they were not people I SHOULD be friends with.  2.  They would accept me for who I am and see beyond the lifestyle into my personality and character.  Well - I for one am glad that number 2 won by miles :-))
  
  I still think a part of me craves approval from my fellow 'casters here but i don't actually form my posts on this basis.  I realise that I will have people comment negatively who do not understand the lifestyle.  I also know that I can use this opportunity to educate people on my lifestyle (if they are intersted).
  
  I know that for me, writing it down and ranting is such a good way to vent.  It really does help to exorcise those negative emotions that can build up within oneself.  When I post I accept that there will be people that have a differing opinion to mine.  That does not necessarily mean negativity.  Imagine how strange and boring the world would be if we all agreed with each other? 
  
  I guess the only thing now that stops me venting all my emotions here as I used to is the fact that my Sir is here.  There is another site where I am supposed to do my venting and posting but its not the same.  There aren't the same tabs that you can follow My Users or My Conversations.  I only have one friend on the other site that even bothers to read and comment on my posts.  I don't get the same support and advice there that I used to get here.  I guess posting actually helped me and meant more to me than I could have ever realised. . .

  ***tsk, tsking at mobil above***
   
  i was introduced to this site by my frind trav, i was going through a rough time and asked him if he knew of any good blog sites.  my initial purpose of coming here was to get my feelings out (down on paper) about my ex-boyfriend.  although i had been journaling it felt like a bigger step to put some of those things on a public forum...i had no idea of the quality of people that make up this site, wonderful people.  i feel like i am forming friendships.  i value the insight that sc members give.  i am a VERY interactive person in my real life.  i tend to chat up anyone, anywhere, anytime... with that in mind, lots of my posts are goofy, that's just me. i enjoy interaction, i enjoy fun, i enjoy people :)  as far as popularity...it doesn't hurt my feelings if a post isn't read, i'm just so thrilled with the relationships i am forming here!

  I am sorry for your computer trouble and I hope it will be fixed. At least I would like my computer to last for 5 years but mine is already tired after almost 4 years. I have had my son sharing it with me for a long time but he is away in England.
  
  Thank you for your kind words. I did not know that I had aroused peoples anger. I just posted what came out of my memory chip and I still don't  know if I will post here.
  
  Yes I am honest and straight forward and I do expect others to be too. I have never seen this site as a popularize contest. Why should I and what would I gain. I show you what means something to me at the time at least.
  Did I need to think before posting this. I thought I was giving something but people did not know how to take it.
  
  
  This is called Soul Cast and it means throwing your soul and I have certainly done that, and I have not been asking for something in return.   do like to give and I do. I give my self.
   Can I take criticism Yes I can I am a trained musician.  Thank you for your friendship

• yani said on Nov 09, 2008....

  
  I post here mainly to get it out of my system. there are some things that i just can't up and tell people in my life and somehow posting them here makes me feel better. If people comment, that's good. If they don't, it's ok, cos the reason really for me is to let it out. that's it.
  
  Sc has always been a refuge for my battered feelings and I think I am not the only one who feels this way.
  
  
  

• andora said on Nov 09, 2008....

  talking to alts is a one way street...its like talking to a therapist, their only present because you pay them
  
  having intimacy doesn't mean having conversations with all of the personalities fighting for attention in your own head
  
  just how many alts do u have lucy?
  
  sucks to have no one to share your inner world with
  
  its called estrangement
  
  welcome to the human condition, we can't fix it if we constantly deny our truth as a means of getting attention in a world that will treat your point of view with suspicion. estrangement is the norm and many waste their precious time ignoring the reality of their loved ones just to hold up a false image to strangers on the internet
  
  good gawd
  

• travelr712 said on Nov 09, 2008....

  the only thing i take issue with about what you said cuppa was that you characterized people's comments as 'wrath'. i read them all. none of them were wrathful. they were just alternate explainations. i agree that there are those here who make comments that are harsh, as have i when i find it warranted. but on skald's post, i saw none of that. nobody put her down. nobody said she was lying or crazy or anything like that. no one was even harsh with her. they just gave their opinions as to what the 'mystery' might be. that was the catalyst for those comments, she titled her post as a mystery, seemingly inviting comments, explainations and opinions.
   
  no one meant any harm to skald, and to characterize their comments as negative does them a disservice, and makes them feel bad when they did nothing wrong.
   
  not to be harsh, but since you've brought this up and it's made it to the front page, i'll give my viewpoint. no one here is at fault except skald for taking the comments the way she did. she chose to be hurt by them, no one intended to hurt her. she further chose to make more of an issue out of it by her post about leaving sc, which surely would garner much sympathy and support for her, people begging her to stay, and make the people who were just answering what they thought were her questions feel even worse when they did nothing wrong. and yes, skald did appologise, and i appreciate that. but if you're going to blame someone for an incident, put the blame where it belongs. and this time, much as i expect to garner wrath for saying it, the blame belongs squarely on the shoulders of skald.

• pusscat said on Nov 09, 2008....

  andora - if you are going to comment here, can you please remain on subject with the thread?  Whether Lucy has alts or not actually has nothing to do with this thread.  When I saw that you had commented, I was actually looking forward to reading what you had to say.  You are a very interesting person with a wide degree of knowledge.  Don't go down the route of hottips and throw insults at people.  The rude part about what you have done here andora is the fact that you have hijacked someone elses post for you own ends!  It's one thing to have a disagreement with the post owner or get in heated debate to just come here to put another 'Caster down is such bad manners. 
  
  If you are referring to Lucy having alts within her personality then, if that were true, it's not something to ridicule now is it?  If you refer to Lucy having alts on SC then what is your problem with that?  Although the only alts I know of by Lucy are ones purely for fun that we all join in with and we are all perfectly aware of - it's for a bit of fun.  It's a shame you missed the boat and the point on that one.  If you believe for one minute that the post owner IS Lucy then you couldn't be further from the truth.  I happen to know CJ personally and trust me, unless he can metamorphasise (is that the right word LOL?) then they are 2 separate people.  Get of that pedestal andora and back to the thread.

  I guess I've missed a big event here.  I hope that skald stays as well.  It wouldn't be the same here without her.
  
  As for me, I came to Soul Cast to blog about my life.  I hoped I might make a little money from the ads at the time, but it was really about exploring all my emotional pain that was trapped inside me.  I wrote about it all without caring what people thought.  I needed to let it go.
  
  However, I find myself censoring myself these days.

• Hegemone said on Nov 10, 2008....

  I read the posts last night in reference to skald, although I chose to stay out of it as I was not involved from the beginning so I felt no need to add to the turmoil.  It really is unfortunate that something like this has happened.  I hope everybody can come out on top of this with pride intact and none the worse for wear.  But anyways, as to the question, why do I post HERE.  Well, one day I searched for 'Blog Sites' at google.com and SC popped up.  I decided to check it and a couple others out as I was really needing to get some stuff off my chest (see first few posts ranting about husband).  Turned out, of the three sites I tried, this was the only one that gave me responses.  I wasn't even necessarily looking for comments, I just needed to open the flood gates, but it was nice seeing the comments, knowing people actually gave enough of a shit to say something to me when they didn't have to.  To me, if I get comments, great, if I don't, I won't be heartbroken.  I just want to be involved in the SC community and carry on as normal.  To me being social and commenting/getting comments is part of that involvement.  So here I am, ranting because I can and getting lucky enough to converse with all these other wonderful SCers here!  

• Expendable said on Nov 10, 2008....

  Aurora, at least post who you think Lucy's alts are. I always got a giggle when someone would message me asking me why Jessi thinks I'm them.

  I post because here I have a voice. It's like walking into a large room filled with different tables. You can sit at your own table, or visit others at their tables.

  I joined soulcast when I was looking for another blog site.The funny thing about it is at the time I was looking to be less anonymous.Then I ran across this site and saw that it was anonymous and thought that's what I want.
   
  The reason why I post here is because on some of my other blogs I feel like I can't really say what I want to say.I can't say the dirty detail of my life and talk about my sexual side.There's this whole other side to me that exist but I couldn't put into writing because of the people who read it.
   
  I really don't care about if a lot of people read it or not my thing has always been if one person reads it I'm happy.

• uniquely-ironic said on Nov 10, 2008....

  I stumbled across this place looking for a place to blog about my life.  I was excited to find such an interactive site and it's become my second home.  I blog because it helps me sort my thoughts.  It also provides feedback that I sometimes need.  Certainly I don't blog to be popular.  I post pictures because there are some things in life you cannot describe with words, and I'm a very visual person.

• diabolicdame said on Nov 10, 2008....

  I post because I like connecting with people.. at first i used to just read here.. i liked how this place has a community feel to it.. so I joined in.. I am a very expressive and talkative person.. I like to be able to express through another medium here.. also its threapeutic.. and sometimes you really get good advice here!
