Fail to see how you can argue that it misses the mark, since the many definitions and the one above obviously exclude people who don't include kink or just use fetish type objects on odd occasions to spice up their sex life, you know the silent majority. Am surprised you are unable to make the connection, although on reflection.......
We have also never contended that someone who wears a blindfold on a take it or leave it basis has a fetish so that was a pointless argument.
Don't you believe that both groups (as well as other groups) exist here? That's why folks didn't appreciate being called "fellow fets". Same thing happens when folks introduce themselves and decide that, because some people like being called slut, that it's a good idea to say, "hi to all of the sluts".
Now, knowing that not everybody at your local munch considers themselves fetishists, would you walk in and announce your arrival by saying "hello fellow fets"? Can you possibly see why that might not go over well?
I happen to be a leather person. One of the points that can be very confusing to people just getting involved in the kink scene is the difference between a leather person and/or the leather lifestyle, and somebody being a leather fetishist. Some of us do appreciate people who know the difference and don't attempt to confuse others between the two.
By the way, there's a nice tutorial somewhere around the site on how to separate quotes. If you can't find it and would like some help on the matter, say so and the folks here can give you a hand.

Well actually no, one doesn't expect to find a majority of "vanilla" people here. However Since Fetlife is the majority kink site and there is no significant difference between the users, many of whom are members of both sites, in no way would one expect that certain people would be so obsessed and mentally disturbed by being referred to by the words "Fellow Fets"that they would then make irrational and illogical attacks and then turn round and whine about being corrected about their misconceptions. Further to this it is irrational to make out that you are speaking on behalf of all the users here. "Folks" should be "SOME folks".

Which would exclude all those who were not sluts which is a bit stupid if you are saying hello to everyone. It is blatantly obvious that you would be one of the first jump in and complain.

Now, not knowing that people at my local munch are mentally disturbed by being associated with Fetlife since it is part and parcel of the lifestyle, yes I would walk in and say "Hi fellow fets" and if anyone objected I would stand my ground in the same way as here, and respond in kind. I doubt that anyone would actual get on their high horse in real life. Your example is itself stupid because nobody would walk into a munch the first time and announce to EVERYONE that they had arrived.

Ah, you are confirming the impression you give, one of those type of people who thrives on cliques and contrived hierarchy. Ego boosted by looking down your nose at others who are not in your minority clique. Whine all you like about the differences, the big wide world says you're a fetishist in your love of leather and the obsessive profiling you have for it. Wah, wah wah I know more than you do. No you don't. Pathetic.
Where your argument falls apart totally is that everybody has a right to their opinion as you and if they wish to believe that you have a fetish there is fuck all you can do about it, except to agree to differ. Going on and on about it just lends weight to the argument that you have a tendency towards obsessive behaviour. As Shakespeare put it "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

There you go again, jumping to conclusions. The formatting is as it is for a specific reason and because that is how we wish it to look.
