Interesting! Thanks.

As far as organization. Yes inner organization. I gave the example of the LGBT community. They are well organized. Our community doesn't have the same organization. We are organized on a local level for education and protection within our community. We fail to be organized at a level above that, that would give our community more legal rights. A more firm place in accepted society.
Ok, I get it. A sort of national organisation that deals among other things with accept and legal advice.

This lack of organization is two part. Too many people have to fear the legal ramifications of being actively BDSM,
Quite!

and then there is the definition problem. All the things we do have various definitions. It prevents us from being able to talk about the same thing, and have the same understanding of the same thing without a long drawn out discussion about the definition. Mind you, I don't want someone coming along and being the definition police, I'm just citing my observation into why we are that way.
I see what you mean, and many would agree, at least in principle. Personally I do not think that it is possible to agree on definitions, and while that can be a nuisance, it can also be very giving to discuss them.

And my definitions are based in reality, because they are founded on my experience. They are not meant to be your definition, or a definition for anyone else. Hence the reason for prefacing my post with IMO (aka In My Opinion).
Absolutely. We can all only speak for ourselves, and compare notes, which was what I was trying to do. No offence was intended in any way.
