I found this a great and informative read   A must for newbies and also useful for the more experienced members.

I think that individuals having the ability or choice not to respond to messages is the epitomy of being safe online, regardless as to who initiated the contact. It's just one factor that increases safety. So whilst I accept
that for some people not having a response to a message/having a conversation end may be disheartening and may have a negative impact upon someones self esteem, it is what it is. You may feel like someone is a perfect match but that only works if the object of your desire is on the same page. If not, it's creepy at best, stalkerish at worst.
It's human nature to judge and it's easy to do incorrectly when the medium is online. Much of that judgement is through intuition and gut feeling and often, that's all we have to go on when considering how safe we are in any situation. Most of us are, unsubconsciously risk assessing as we go about our daily lives and, I feel that it's heightened when online due to the nature of only having limited information to go on.
But, this is moving off the subject that the OP intended which was a basic intro into BDSM as opposed to "why I can't get a message back" or, "everyone should be given a chance"

I am ashamed. I have to be honest and say that I thought this would be just another  'hook up ' site. I apologize to anyone I have offended with my horniness.

I wish things like this were around when I first tried this life. I was a sub to two Mistresses in a 24/7. It turned very nasty, unsafe and damaging. However it was not all bad and I learned off it and many years later Im revisiting. I'm now looking at a switch and this time want to be safer.
