The only thing that's clear is that you don't know how to answer a simple question.

There is a labor relationship involved, that of my producing posts and alternately of him performing administrative tasks.  Those are both labor relationships.

If you think there is no power dynamic attached to having a penis, then you are fucking ignorant and naive.

So not all imbalances are exploitative.  At least we're getting somewhere.  Therefore an imbalance is a necessary condition for exploitation, but not a sufficient condition for exploitation.  What additional elements are required for exploitation.  Further on you emphasize that a specific kind of power dynamic is involved.  If your definition is to avoid circularity, there must be some characteristic of the specific power dynamic between labor and capital besides it simply being a relationship involving labor and capital.  (Because if that is the only distinction, what you're saying boils down to, "Wage labor is exploitative because it is wage labor."  Wage labor may be exploitative for many reasons but not simply for being wage labor.  That would be vapid and meaningless.)

See above.  What is the specific aspect of the wage-labor relationship that makes it exploitative?

What kind of power dynamic is required?  There are a billion power dynamics.  For this conversation to be meaningful, the wage-labor power dynamic must fall into a category which other relationships involving power dynamics must also fall into, otherwise your answer is wage-labor is exploitative because it just is.  That's ipse dixit and won't fly.

Why don't you mind your own p's and q's instead of telling me what to do, fuckface?  If I want to get upset, which I haven't done, I'll go there after my druthers.

With all due respect, go fuck yourself.

Neither of those makes wage-labor exploitative in and of themselves (again, presuming your meaning is not vapid).  So what about those facts makes it exploitative?
If you can't have a conversation without freaking out at me. Then really don't see any reason to continue this. Declare that a victory if you want.
