That was just Aesop posting. The rest is the supermod.

Keep your personal insults off the board bunkerchief. Disagreement is allowed and even encouraged here, but I will not have the disagreements degenerate into flames.

Brosco: Keep a cooler head my friend. I don't want to call out the mod guns on you either.
BDSM. Bondage, domination, sadism, masochism. By implication these terms do not involve consent, hence I assume the reason for the original post. The very fact that we consent to these activities make them ersatz as opposed to the genuine activities and hence an imitation of the real thing. As I have pointed out, I was neutral on saying this was a good or bad thing but merely made a statement. If everyone has to agree with the each others perception of the world, why have a forum where such things can be discussed?

As for insults, I haven't made any or only an implied insult in response to an insult being thrown at me several times.
