Ed. Note: This entry is fairly long, and discusses some tech stuff and<\/p>\n
some fairly odd stuff about [[BDSM]] and the lifestyle. No, there isn’t any sex<\/p>\n
but it’s probably interesting anyway. Go ahead, click the [more] link if there<\/p>\n
is one.<\/i><\/p>\n
As some of you may know, one of my long time favorite things on the web is<\/p>\n
[[Everything2]]. [[E2]] has some really outstanding qualities that keep the<\/p>\n
[[e2|signal to noise]] ratio nice and high; primarily through community<\/p>\n
moderation. One can put almost any phrase into [[E2]] and come away with <\/p>\n
something<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Well, there is a new kid in town. Some folks have built something they call<\/p>\n
"The [[wp|Wikipedia]]" that I will probably refer to as the [[WP]] from now on<\/p>\n
if I wind up using it. It is based on something called a "[[e2|Wiki]]" – a<\/p>\n
system that basically allows for anyone<\/i> to make changes to a page. I find<\/p>\n
most Wiki software to be less mature than [[E2]] but some of them have some<\/p>\n
killer features. One of the best features of the a Wiki is that they often keep<\/p>\n
a history of page changes.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I went over there to look up some of the terms I know and am amused<\/p>\n
by. I looked up [[wp|BDSM]], that led me to [[wp|SSC]] and [[wp|RACK]] as<\/p>\n
well as [[wp|Safeword]]. These entries, particularly RACK was… flawed. If<\/p>\n
you’d like, you can see the<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n entry as it was<\/a> from the history. In case it’s been edited, the entry I<\/p>\n changed it to is shown below:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n —<\/p>\n RACK<\/p>\n <\/b>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. <\/p>\n RACK<\/strong> or Risk Aware Consensual Kink is a term that was<\/p>\n coined in reaction to current dissatisfaction within the<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BDSM<\/a> community regarding the political issues (internal and external)<\/p>\n surrounding<\/p>\n <\/p>\n SSC<\/a>. Specifically, RACK is intended to embrace<\/p>\n <\/p>\n edgeplay<\/a> and play that is engaged in without<\/p>\n <\/p>\n safewords<\/a>. <\/p>\n RACK is intended as a philosophy, and does not specifically refer to any<\/p>\n particular type of play or activity. <\/p>\n Note: This term is sometimes seen as Risk Accepted Consensual Kink.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n —<\/p>\n Well, while I was at it I obviously had to add a reference to this entry to<\/p>\n [[wp|SSC]] and fix the reference in [[wp|BDSM]]. Fortunately, you can do that<\/p>\n sort of thing on a [[e2|Wiki]]. <\/p>\n Anyway, I summarized the changes – and cross referenced between [[WP]] and<\/p>\n [[E2]] in the following table. If you look at the history of these, you will see<\/p>\n that my entries are marked with "Soulhuntre" .. however the actual main edit<\/p>\n happened before I made the account so is only marked with my IP (68.36.123.21<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n
