Say what? So are booze, drugs, sex fiendin', washing your hands 70 times a day, etc. The problem with cutting? There is no acceptable use behavior because such an activity causes direct and intention physical harm to the participant. You can consume alcohol in moderation and engage in safe practices such as designated driver. You can have sex in moderation and engage in safe practices such as condoms. The euphoric payoff in this type of self-destructive activity is the result of a damaged mind seeking an alternative escape, perhaps similar to people who play WoW 60 hours a week.
It would, however, be totally illogical to say that you can cut in moderation. It's not art... it's sickness. You're directly and intentionally harming yourself.
