Dear Moonlight,

I read your rather interesting posts. There was one part which led to an inescapable conclusion. Think of the following:

1) You are 6'0" and 250 lbs, which translates to grossly overweight.

2) Tiger would prefer that you were shapely, all men prefer that. Those who say otherwise are lying.

3) If someone has real control over you, by regulating your eating and making you exercise he can make you sexy and shapely.

So the inescapable conclusion is that Tiger does not have confidence in his power over you and accepts your being overweight for he fears that if he took the action to make you lose weight you would leave him. That however is not real power and not what you should seek. Your one life should not be wasted not getting the kind of domination your mind really craves and not reaching the peak of beauty that is possible for you. If you wish for a Dom who can give you these things then do correspond.

Regards,

***End Email***

I've taken the liberty of responding to a piece of mail that I received on my recent posts. Since I'm not sure which of the two groups I posted it in said....person...reads, this is appearing in both of them. All identifying information has been stripped out, as far as I can tell. "[snipped]" is where I removed identifying information. If this...person...has the guts to step forward and identify themselves by replying, so be it. I won't out them though. I have more honor than that.
    Dear Moonlight,

Lowercase m, dear. At least get the name right if you're planning on being an asshole.
    I read your rather interesting posts. There was one part which led to an inescapable conclusion. Think of the following:

Yes, well, there's several other inescapable conclusions that I thought of, none of which were listed below. But, I'll play along for the heck of it.
    1) You are 6'0" and 250 lbs, which translates to grossly overweight.

Thank you for telling me this. I would have *NEVER* in a million years guessed that I was carrying around extra weight. I've been completely oblivious to the fact that I cannot shop in the "normal" sizes of a department store and to the fact that I have to special order some things because people, like yourself, believe that women have to fit into one little box that may not be healthy for them in order to be accepted.

I had completely *MISSED* all the advertising in magazines, on tv, and on the sides of busses that might have told me that I was unacceptable as a human being, that I lacked control of myself and didn't care about what I looked like for the last 31 years of my life.

I don't know if I could have gone on any longer without having this brought to my attention. Thank you.

I had absolutely *NO* idea.
    2) Tiger would prefer that you were shapely, all men prefer that. Those who say otherwise are lying.

You're a mind reader now, are you? You know, in intimate detail, that all men are as shallow and superficial as you? That all men think with is their dicks and how to get them off? That it takes the same kind of woman to get all men off? That a woman must be under a size 10 in order to be "valuable" as a partner?

Again, the world thanks you. We've all been blind.
    3) If someone has real control over you, by regulating your eating and making you exercise he can make you sexy and shapely.

I am already sexy and shapely. Thank you for playing.

You did realize, didn't you, that there *are* some medical conditions out there that affect the size that a woman can be? That it's not a matter of exercise and controlling what she stuffs her face with?

Because *OBVIOUSLY* a fat woman can't control herself and shoves candy and sweets down her throat at an alarming rate...that's why she's FAT, after all.

And *OBVIOUSLY* it's only a matter of controlling her diet. Only good healthy food in small quantities. Oh...and must not eat this or that at all...because it will only start the face stuffing again... since they have no control at all.

I've lived my entire *life* with "help" from people like you. And that includes the period of time when I was a competitive swimmer that worked out 4-6 hours every day of the week and was lifting weights.

You'll excuse me if I rather indelicately refuse your offer of "help" with my "problem".
    So the inescapable conclusion is that Tiger does not have confidence in his power over you and accepts your being overweight for he fears that if he took the action to make you lose weight you would leave him.

Tiger is aware that I have particular health issues that will not respond to exercise and diet control and he sees no point in trying to punish me for those things. There is nothing that he or I can do about these issues other than work, with my physicians, to try to control the hormonal imbalances that cause my "problem".
    That however is not real power and not what you should seek.

Oh. And I suppose that you, in your great and grand wisdom know EXACTLY what I need from reading my posts on the internet. I am in AWE of such astounding abilities. Please...let me grovel and kiss your feet for having shown me the LIGHT and the error of my ways!

Thank you for having shown me that I am a pig that lacks the appropriate amount of self control that a Real Woman needs.
    Your one life should not be wasted not getting the kind of domination your mind really craves and not reaching the peak of beauty that is possible for you. If you wish for a Dom who can give you these things then do correspond.

Oh! I am not *WORTHY*, gracious [snipped], for the attentions such as yourself has seen fit to give me. Please. Forgive me for not believing that I have the right to respond or even *HOPE* to have a chance at such.
    Regards,

Asshole.
