4/
I'm a libertarian. Each to their own, and polyamory should be legal.
But ... yeah, @j_arthur_bloom nails it: the marketing ad copy reminds me of ads in PC magazine for 8" floppy drives.

5/ btw, footnote: I've worked at several MIT area startups and met dozens of poly people there. All of the "mean", "unrepresentative" examples above are literally drawn from real life.

6/ Indeed. An "assignation" on the sly seems far more titillating than using Google calendars to coordinate with your wife what night she's boning with Pedro so that you can take Melinda to the folk dance.https://twitter.com/FormerlyFormer/status/1189194682775068681 …

7/ Although - DAMNIT ! - I can't let this go without being fair to my poly acquaintances and steelmanning it. They'd argue "but it's not ABOUT titillation or sex - it's about multiple fulfilling relationships!" sigh

8/ not so much "missing", as "not addressing" JAB and I are both specifically talking about one set ...and it's not the set you're talking about. My experience of poly is people who talk about it ENDLESSLY.https://twitter.com/random_eddie/status/1189195755891896322 …

Eddie, Son of Richard @random_eddieReplying to @MorlockP @j_arthur_bloomYou're missing an excluded middle here. People who a) have consensual, non-monogamous relationships (so there's nothing "on the sly" about it) but b) don't make a big deal about calling their relationships "consensual, non-monogamous".3 replies 0 retweets 7 likesShow this thread -

9/ Well, sure. Selection bias. But it's legitimate to judge those who select into set X, and not address those who do not.https://twitter.com/random_eddie/status/1189196296688734208 …

My thread is about the TERMINOLOGY. I specifically said that other terms for the EXACT SAME THING were sexy.

I wasn’t relying to your thread, I was replying to the random bullshit you retweeted. You can tell by the threading.

the threading shows me that your response is to #10 in my thread so, yes, maybe that's what you were responding to, but, no, I can not tell based on twitter's UI
