Hello I’m Myriads.
That’s Mir-i-ads, if you were wondering about how it’s said. I have been using the handle since 1983 on a primitive chat system on my collages mainframe. I chose it for a lot of reasons, but Myriad means ‘many’ and at the time, almost every one who met me had a different take on what I was about. So I found it to be a amusing choice. And it stuck.
I’m in my 40’s and my work history has been varied. I’ve been a Professor, a published writer (prose and poetry), a manager of a major corporate mail room, done a lot of freelance work of various sorts, and am now in retail management. I have chosen a quiet path in my work life that is low in stress, but also low in cash. Life is always a trade.
I’ve always been a man of many interests, and it leads to me being a listener and watcher. I enjoy seeing how people get things done, how systems work, and what alters the flow of things. I’m apt to observe for a good bit and act with a lot of information.
Hobbies, I have a few. Currently a lot of time goes into a online game, Final Fantasy XI, which I see as my main escape these days. But I also collect coins, comics, and design jewelry. I enjoy science fiction as my pleasure reading, with a special like for alternate world material. I follow psychology and sociology deeply, and keep rather current on nanotechnology developments.
My base philosophies circle around the concepts of Personal responsibility (denoted by me, as mindfulness) and the just exercise of it with relation to ones own Will, and the Will of other sovereign people.
I came to be involved with the TMF as a result of my enjoyment of tickling as part of my greater fetish/paraphillia which I term as ‘Response Control’ for lack of a better term. In short, I get off on provoking a response in my partner. Tickling was one of the earliest paths to this I discovered, and it still holds a special place in my heart as a result. But I enjoy many forms of ‘causing’; Bondage, D/s play, simply causing an orgasm, giving a massage, and psychological play works also. I am a Dominate in nature.
My online history is nothing special, I spent a lot of time simply watching AMT when I came online in the mid 90’s, though if you dig you may find a post or two from me there. And as the first version of the TMF evolved I was a very active poster there, leading in post count. Sadly that forums content was erased by its owner, and is now lost. I was promoted to moderator and then Admin as the TMF made it’s transfer to the current system you all now enjoy.
My philosophy for running the TMF has always been based around the ideas that I feel every one has something to say of value, and that they should have a chance to. I desire to see people join our community, enjoy it in a way that enriches their life, as they need, and in turn, perhaps give back to all of us new and unique views.
I’ve always worked to allow the widest range of attitudes to be openly expressed here. But I have drawn the line at actions that drive away others, or try to limit the voice of others. If you cannot interact with respect and appreciation of others opinions here, you will loose your ability to voice yours. You can disagree here, but you will not disrespect others as you do it. Civility is important to me.
Just because you CAN say something, does not mean you always should. Mindfully exercise your speech. Respect your fellow members as individuals with value, and you will not have issues here.
In the better part of a decade that I have helmed the forum, it, and I, have had a number of successes that please me greatly. We have seen a massive growth of people being more open with their fetish, as we slowly climb to 100,000 users we see more and more members posting pictures and speaking up. Our female membership has gone from a tiny minority to a huge visible and outspoken group. Media of all gender combinations is now in wide production and discussion here, and easily downloaded, easy to find and obtain. Gatherings, many which are organized upon the TMF’s platform, now happen almost every other month. The forum continues to be the communities hub.
I look forward to helping guide the TMF for many years to come. It’s always a challenge, but rewarding.
All in all, I enjoy talking to people, and hope that any member that wants to talk with me feels free to drop me a PM. I’m always open to hearing from folks, and like to hear new views.
