I believe the point she was trying to make stems from one of your own statements. To paraphrase, you said, a submissive in a D/s relationship has all the power because she/he puts limits on what the dominant party is permitted to do. So, if she tells her dominant partner that he cannot do whatever it is that is dangerous to her health, she has limited his actions and therefore, according to your theory, she has the control. Many people, who have hard limits, have them for valid reasons, not just because they are afraid to try something and push beyond their own fears. Many, who state hard limits, state them so that the dominant party is aware that if they push that limit, it may in fact 'break' the submissive party. It isn't always a way to control the relationship, sometimes, it is a way to communicate an actual limit - one they simply are not physically or mentally capable of accomplishing, no matter how much they would love to do so to please their dominant partner. A person who claims that suspension bondage is a hard limit, would they automatically be rejected as a slave without taking into consideration WHY they placed that as a hard limit? For some, it might be a fear of heights, for others they may simply dislike rope or being bound or suspended, for others still they may have nerve damage and suspension bondage may cause limb damage. The only way to find out is to ask.
