There are none so blind as will not see..

I have just read a posting in an MSN group where i am a member.

Entitled "First Meeting" it went like this...

my love my life
my Master ...
i would like all to know that i do not have any sort of permission to write this ...
My Sir/Master and i met online and W/we were going to meet on the 24th of this month. To spend 2 weeks together?
but apparently i have been too demanding and all.
He is going through alot and may have job change /,and a Country change at the
same time ...
my flight and hotel and safe numbers are all intact....
tonight he told me not to come...
i am so devistated ... He was someone i
wanted to be with/explore and enjoy each other...
to Him i once again will
say i tried ... and Sir ... but given a R/L W/we would have been
wonderful?
You have broken my heart once again ...
Good Luck To
You ,,,
thank you for opening my eyes to a world of wonderful/loving/caring
and best of all devoted people...

Now, I am a bit of a cynic. There were several replies to this post saying stuff like "Respect your masters choice" "Trust his judgement" "so sorry to hear of this difficult time for you and your Master.." etc etc

Frankly what a load of crap this is!

This poor girl has just been played good and proper by some uncaring idiot who obviously has no feelings for her or anyone else he might meet.

Those who are true to the tenets of this lifestyle would never contemplate a first meeting to last 2 weeks. The Master should have controlled this, and ensured that no arrangements were made which could not be fulfilled.

Furthermore the submissive, as so often happens, becomes blinded by the need to submit/serve/have a Master etc etc and can see no further than the "roses round the door, perfect D/s lifestyle, story book stuff"

It doesn't happen that way.

I honestly felt like posting on that group thread and saying to these people "wake up and smell the coffee" but felt I didn't want to hurt this person feeling in public more than has already happened. Every day I ask myself, why do people not use the commonsense they were born with?

How often do people who who have entered into a so-called long term, and growing relationship, one which is about to go from online to real life suddenly decide they are going to change jobs, emigrate and totally remove themselves from any contact with the previously sole focus of their attention? Only when their wife/girlfriend found out they were playing online and pulled the plug on the pc, thats when. This guy is not going abroad, his only problems are that he never had any intention of meeting this poor sub, and simply had to find a plausible excuse to get out of it.

Ahh well, as I say. None so blind as those who will not see.
