Ok so the definition of abuse is;

verb
verb: abuse; 3rd person present: abuses; past tense: abused; past participle: abused; gerund or present participle: abusing
əˈbjuːz/

1.
use (something) to bad effect or for a bad purpose; misuse.

2.
treat with cruelty or violence, especially regularly or repeatedly.

3.
speak to (someone) in an insulting and offensive way.

noun
noun: abuse; plural noun: abuses
əˈbjuːs/

1.
the improper use of something.

2.
cruel and violent treatment of a person or animal.

3.
insulting and offensive language.

I suspect that in the BDSM context all of these can apply to one degree or another, so it might be worth considering how you word things next time you post. For instance a sub requesting someone "abuse" them, what do they really want?
Something to consider...

Interestingly I think my most common use of "abuse" is the 1st definition, basically misusing something. This could be the "abuse" of various items such as my bra modifications or indeed the contents of said bras. Yes, in fact I think you could say that I always abuse breasts because I certainly don't use them for their intended purpose...
