Ahhh, let's look at some lovely reactions about this discussion by a couple of recent contributors:
(1) from -- stupid is as stupid does:
"If BSDM is so all about freedom, then why can't you even sign your name to your fucktard screed?"
(2) from -- Spartacus:
(talking about BDSM and Love:)
"They are not complimentary, no form of yin and yang, but two totally alien concepts which only get mixed in the wacky world of sadism where particularly disturbed individuals satisfy their warped lust, then try to hide this abuse by calling it love."
...and then there is: "the ultimate sadist insult, ‘you are narrow-minded’"
...and then there is: "Scepticism could make us get accused of being narrow-minded. Sad I know, but it’s better than abandoning scepticism and becoming so open minded that our brains fall out...."
Hummm...these two scream the loudest and insult the deepest...and they don't have an iota of a clue as to what they are arguing against. They have no experience and therefore "imagine" what it is they attack. They attack all BDSM as "sadism." They proudly show the world their ignorance with insults tinged with anger and hate and pronouncements of righteous judgement.
I'm glad they are clueless. I hope they remain so for the sake of not losing their brains and minds. BDSM brings up knee jerk reactions with them...attack what is not known or understood AND define what it is while attacking, though you don't know what you are talking about. Brilliant! Clearly with the subject of BDSM there is too much to attempt to process for these two...better to simply insult, attack and try to emotionally "hurt" those who understand.
Ignorance is bliss only for the ignorant. The rest of us must suffer the consequences.
