Primary and only are not the same thing.

Then maybe it would be a good idea of making the distinctions about different types more salient beyond the shopping list paradime.

By not doing this you miss out on 2 types of client, the idiots as you stated and the well minted who haven't got time to mess about playing mind games when all they want is a good thrashing.

If I am right you are saying you dont cater to pure Masocists and your stips are there must be a D/s element. Fair enough as long as you make that point on your site.

On another note, I dont feel I have to justify My decisions to anyone.

I do not feel responsible for all and sundry, only those that I meet and session with.

I don't mind taking the time out to answer queries, but I'll be fucked if I have to justify my business decisions, and what is best for me, to a complete stranger who knows nothing at all about my business.

I've been doing this for four years. I know who I want to see and I know who I don't want anywhere near me.

I think your losing the plot a bit here, I'm not asking you to justify anything just explain a few of the points, i did say i agreed with the others. Thats not saying right or wrong just that they didn't make much sense. I was querying a few points because I am a complete stranger who knows nothing about your business.

It didn't seem sensible, then you contradicted yourself. The change in your stance does make sense. No need to hurl your toys out of your pram.

No. You are telling what I should do.

Crikey.

Look. I do dressmaking and alterations.

I do it because I enjoy it. A lot! Sometimes I do it for free for friends, sometimes I do it for people and charge a fee.

When I do get paid for it, it goes in the books and the taxman knows about it (late, usually!).

Sometimes someone comes with a job I take one look at and think not a chance mate, no amount of money will compensate me for tackling that.

Sometimes it's a job I can't actually do because I don't have all the right gear.

I politely decline.

I'm also freelance management consultant and I run that whole process along surprisingly similar lines!

Now I just can't imagine being harangued by people on a web board asking me to justify in minute detail why I pick some jobs and why I decline others. And then have the temerity to pull apart everything I say and question the integrity of what I do!

Why should the PDs be subjected to this? They can't win. If they decline to answer, they are 'not being open about their business', if they do answer, they are interrogated.

Bizarre.

I hope I didn't come across that way, I try to keep my questions polite

Exactly, I agree.

Why should I explain My decision, I am not a counseller. Would they rather Me perform a uninspiring session, and take their £120?

No sorry, I wouldnt go through the motions, for anyone.

fair does but its not capitalism its markets, or monopolistic behaviour, which explains LAB's antipathy to local rivals(ie training a novice).

Fair enough, LAB cant be faulted for aiming for the best outcome, its what can happen though in an unregulated market/free market.

Of course its the sub thats likely to come of worse in these situations. Mind you a monopsony maket would beinteresting with few subs and lots of Dommes.:-D

How is a sub likely to come off worse?

£300 lighter for starters

Maybe the next time we are both at the barn clockworknight, you would like to back up your ridiculous comments in person?
