vield -> RE: What makes you an "Expert" (3/27/2008 9:10:33 AM)

I havee not replied to a post for awhile due to lack of time, but this one caught my interest.
As usual there will be a lot of controversy about this label, as in kinky life or in vanilla life "expert" is not always a term many will rate the same way others do.
There are skills where one gets an expert rating through testing. There are skills where a person gets an expert rating through education or training.
In the profile item listings my thought is that this is like most forms of labeling in life, in that only the label we self apply to our forehead is accurate, and even then it does not mean anyone else will understand what the term means to you without a personal discussion.
I know that many, many years of practice and research and learning makes me someone whose advice is often sought, and one whose toys are valued, and whose friendship is cherished.
I know I am expert in playing with some toys hard and with others softly. This does NOT mean I am an expert in playing with YOU until we have spent some time playing together. I know and admit that some toys I know how to play with but have little interest in giving or getting that play, while others I may understand but may have little skill with. It is unlikely I would call myself expert with an unfamiliar toy. That will NOT prevent others who watch that scene for considering me as expert.
