Actually, TPE should have TOTAL COMMON SENSE applied to it as well.
Or, how about TOTAL COMMON OBJECTIVE, since both my Master and i are in this relationship for the common goal of building a life together in which He has Total Power over me, within the relationship? (Also, i have found that 'common sense' isn't always that common.)

Yes, I am one of those people that will use the TPE buzzword phrase. Because it's a universal or common place term amoung people in the lifestyle. The End of the Article, this what is it says in conclusion...
"terminological purity aside, people pursuing M/s relationships usually know what is meant by "Total Power Exchange" even if it's ambiguous when taken literally"
This is my lines of reasoning for using TPE when talking about M/s relationships. Clearly anybody who has Common Sense or experienced in M/s relationships, knows the implications and points made in this Article. http://www.enslavement.org.uk/tpe
It's simply become a defactor standard catch phrase for something. Yes, it sound smore extreme and has a trendy ring/vibe to it.
A lot of people will often use words or terms that really don't have any meaning to them but, they simply hear others using them. A term or a word has no meaning, in my view, unless it has meaning to you, personally. If there isn't a personal attachment to it, maybe it's not the right one to use. That's why i don't use words like, 'sub frenzy', or 'ultimate authority transfer', other than in a conversation with someone who is using those terms, because they have no meaning in my personal world.
i use the words that are a part of my personal vocabulary because they are words that fit for me. i don't make blanket statements, using those terms, about everyone. i use the terms that best describe my view of my life. i have no concern about whether others accept my views about my life or don't like the words i use to describe my life. i just don't understand why anyone would want to abolish the universal use of a term, just because it doesn't work for them. To me, that is simply turning a blind eye to the fact that some people see their own life in those terms and not in someone else's terms. Agree to disagree about things but, to simply want to do away with something just because it doesn't fit for you? mmmm........that doesn't sit well with me. Restrict my use of the words that i choose to use to describe my view of my life? mmmmmmm.......really not my cup of tea.
To me, words are not, in and of themself, the 'ultimate answer'. The 'ultimate answer', if there ever is one, lies in understanding and words are simply the means to arriving at that understanding. Sometimes that understanding seems to be very simple such as in, "It's raining", simple enough, liquid precipitation is falling from the sky. But, then you walk outside and find that it's actually a full-fledged hurricane.
Let the words simply be a door to further understanding our different perspectives and different ways of living. See a door marked with a word or group of words that have no clear meaning to you and open it and look around and ask the person behind that door, "What does this mean, to you." and, hopefully, walk away with a broader view of the world. What's wrong with that? Is this a too idealistic way of looking at things? Maybe so but, i won't apologize for being an idealist.
BTW, Owner4SexSlave, this wasn't all directed at you, it was just that what you wrote stirred my own thoughts and i used it as a springboard to further express my feelings on this topic.
