I have no problem with consenting S&M relationships as long as it
doesn't go too far... I do have a problem if someone dies or becomes
disabled through play, and I certainly have a problem with that german
guy who ate a consenting victim (so I guess I don't believe that its
right to permanently harm someone even if they consent... but temporary
damage from S&M play I have no problem with).

You condemn all you want. ;) The point I was making though was that it
would be hypocritical of me to condemn other people for something I've
done and enjoyed.
