Late to the party, but I really need to get this off my chest:
It seems as if most people are confusing the issue of "which side is right" with "which behavior is right." Some people say: don't bully or shame people for their kinks. Others: don't bully or shame people for being personally troubled by a kink. But very few (*steadfastly ignores Certain Commenter above*) are saying "all kinks are bad (*except mine)" or "no one should ever be offended by a kink." Now that may be the subtext for some people who simply want to cast their side in the most favorable light, but taken at face value, most people's comments seem to agree about standards of behavior. They just suffer the usual cognitive dissonance depending on whether they are on the giving or receiving end the the personal opinion/personal attack.
The first person who says "but their side does it mooooore!" gets to stand in the corner until the next post.
