What is in a name

I was shocked to hear of a fellow member of the lifestyle a friend from the eighties had pass away a few years ago. His handle was Lord Rope. I never knew of his real name. I cannot write anything on this man except he showed me that laughter is an integral part of the lifestyle. Not a lot sort of sad I cannot say more sad also that I did not know of his passing.


We have handles for many reasons. One being to protect ourselves against the crazies and tho of the moral right. So we are set to hiding our names and identify in darkness. We choose our titles to attract to represent what we try to say about ourselves. We read them allowed to make sure they have the desired effect. The handle identifies us in the lifestyle and what we are. It just never appears in an obituary. So only those close to us or in contact with us know of our existence.

Our handles are also regional I am sure there are many Lord Ropes as well as Clouds around depending on what website and service . My readership has gone down mostly because I remove most of my links from other blogs so now I wonder if in years to come one of my past slaves will wonder what ever happened to Cloud you know the one Loved paddles and belts. Perhaps we should start up an obit page on one of the services maybe even a retirement listing . You know at the age of 60 Cloud retired it was said with the lost of his last tooth the bite had gone out of him! Well hopefully I will be remembered for something else!

Fear of not being remembered is that not everyone to have lived a life behind doors and back rooms no one really ever knowing who you were what you did in life. Just one of the masses that walked on this planet without leaving a foot print.
