I think one aspect is experience. Many people are exploring the BDSM aspect of their lives in isolation, and the internet provides an outlet from that. No-one is born all knowing, and it often takes years or decades to recognise one's own sexual tastes and even when you do it takes years more to hone them. I think some of these types come from people being inexperienced and not knowing how to handle situations. This is why a website like this is so useful.

I wonder if people see a change over time as the Dominant becomes more knowledgeable and gains experience of how to behave from discussion and from stories. Maybe conversely, it can breed inconsiderate habits, I never really encouraged capitalisation/minisculisation until I had read so many D/s stories with it in. I considered myself a true Dominant but for me, it was sufficient to say 'master' and 'I am your slave', these words carry weight however you type them. Whereas starting out dominants reading so many stories with 'Master' and 'i am your slave' come to feel unless they insist on that they are not a true Dominant.

I accept there are prats and morons out there who like shaking their dicks around in such forums. However, I think we also need to take into consideration that you do not become a highly experienced Dom or sub over night, it takes time and trial and error until you get it right.
