| − | "The concept of best practices itself is also often considered controversial as the notion itself presents a potential double standard between those that are experienced and those that are not." -- The person who wrote this doesn't seem to know how to use the phrase "double standard". I vote to change it. [[Special:Contributions/87.106.143.252|87.106.143.252]]

| |
| − | Merriam gives "quantifiable" as ''1'' a (1) : to limit by a quantifier (2) : to bind by prefixing a quantifier, b : to make explicit the logical quantity of; ''2'' : to determine, express, or measure the quantity of. Tl;dr the author of this page isn't using the word correctly. I've proposed an edit. -- Wulfrath

| − | So, Admin, you go to great lengths to assure the reader that your "best practices" concept are not the one true way, yet you refer to them everywhere in the absolute. So what's the difference between this and OTW -- isn't this just a thinly-veiled attempt to present what you think is the one true way, but give yourself plausible deniability? -- Wulfrath 07:48, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

| − | "Example: A highly skilled mountain climber may decide to brave the deadly faces of Mount Everest"
| |
| − | : Nice try. Except the dangers of climbing a mountain are natural dangers. Nature has no responsibility or moral fault for what it does to people. Someone who tries to climb a mountain assumes full responsibility for what happens, and if something goes wrong, it's an act of god. It's random. On the other hand, when a top in BDSM fucks up, it can be negligence, or recklessness, or just plain rape. The top has responsibility; in fact, they have almost all the responsibility. Oops, not supposed to talk about that, I guess. Wouldn't want new people to know they stand a 1 in 3 chance of getting violated by a top. Otherwise they'd leave the scene scared, and then us tops wouldn't get a chance to violate them. AMirite? But yeah, no, stick to the examples like mountains, it definitely makes you sound better.

| − | == "not capitalizing "s-type roles" ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Heya, couple things. 1. S-type isn't a widely-accepted term, so maybe you should say more about what it means. Your readers probably haven't heard it before. Maybe it would be better to stick to standard terminology? 2. Capitalization rules and conventions vary widely, and telling readers "this shouldn't be capitalized" is actually not for everyone. You should stick to facts, not your opinions. [[Special:Contributions/216.27.27.74|216.27.27.74]] 19:57, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
