Greetings DG,
This would depend on the definition of abuse, would it not? I could say that your reply is abusive if I truly felt that. Have you ever dealt with someone that had some bad medicinal reactions? I don't mean an allergy, I mean a slight change in attitude and behavior. I have and this girl would not hurt a fly and would likely die before she became abusive to someone, unless you mix the three meds she was on. She flipped her lid on one occasion and threw a marble ashtray at me, still have the scar on my lip. On one occasion she pulled a knife from the kitchen and came at me. These instances were way out of range for how she normally acted and once the problem was identified, I don't think she has had a re-occurance of them. I am sure she would be stating the same thing you and others have said, but her's is a good example that anyone has the potential to be abusive whether they believe they have that potential or not. I am sure possible mental illnesses could bring about some abusive behavior that a person would not normally exhibit. The way you are stating things, it seems to me that it is highly improbable that you would be abusive but I have found that as far as human behavior goes, nothing is impossible.

Well, since we've discussed to death the possible definitions of abuse, i tend to see it as something that would cause damage to another, either physically or psychologically. i could call you a dope and you could call that being abusive. i'd say that might be insulting, but not abusive and if that were the case, then any cross word spoken to another could be construed as abuse....depending on who happens to think so. So really, when one on here calls another stupid or says 'f-you', i should come out with a big ABUSE! sign because maybe i consider that abusive behavior......even regardless of if the receiving person finds it abusive or not. Now really, is that what we are talking about here? Or are we having a logical conversation?
And i am not talking about people who for some reason, are not in their 'right mind'...such as those with mental illness or those with bad medicinal reactions where they are hardly responsible for their actions. If that were the case, then i could say that every person here was capable of hacking their little child to death (or do i need to add that if by chance they were mentally ill or had a bad drug reaction?)
So if we really use a practical definition of abuse, i will still stand by my original post. i am an average, healthy female, not on any medication, don't do drugs, and drink on the occasion. i don't flip-flop between being out of my mind and being sane....although during PMS, i have been known to call a couple of former partners a-holes....does that count? But i suppose if they called that abuse, then i could be considered abusive?
So why don't we just add that anyone can be submissive? Pump a Dom or Domme up with enough drugs and maybe they will lick someone else's feet....or get on their hands and knees and bark like a dog (or whatever). Or anyone can be dominant? Afterall, nothing's impossible, right?
Some people can't lie, or steal, or cheat (kinda sounds like my father).....and the list goes on. But just because an opportunity is there does not mean that it's a choice of whether we do it or not....for some, there are just some things we cannot do (again, when in our 'right minds')....and it's not about choice.
BTW....it's a good thing Mother Theresa never had any bad medicinal reactions. i'd really hate to see that abusive side of her
