I have gone into chatrooms lately and left angry. I usually vent my superficial frustration with a friend. and usualy feel better. But I will have the same nagging resentment. I am not getting what I need from a room and a community.
I have reasonable expectations. I not only expect to be greeted, I expect that someone will offer to serve me. at least a drink, or some company. I do not expect a scene onmy behalf. But someone coming up and at least offering me a cup of coffee is what I deserve.
I either do not have enough manners or presence to be allowed in a room, and should be bounced, or I am welcome and I am owed some communication beyond "Greetings SB."
Lately the rooms I have been in have been places for Doms to show off their property. We are all vain as hell. It is to be expected.
But I should never have to ask to be served, and I am required to do that because nobody up front offers to serve me a beer. I would not return to a bar or restaurant that ignored me. But I do ask, (idiot that I am) and I get ignored or resused. Meanwhile the room is full of gushing, gigling, and blushing.
If someone hosts a room, I would expect from him her or them some measure of hospitality. On the other side, if a gyest steps out of line, I would expect them to be ejected.
A chat room is an online public house first. It is only secondarily a classroom, or a group counseling session.
