A well thought out commentary on why exactly George Sodini was an asshole, and why poly people are in fact NOT greedy for having multiple partners (may be triggery for some folk reading this), by way of tacit.

By the way, if you're even remotely poly/sex-postive you should read tacit. He's pretty fabulous.

Also I need a poly icon.

Why should anyone care about what some dead nut had to say, and what's wrong with being greedy?

dr, huh?

[austingoddess.livejournal.com]

Because a fair number of live people agree with the dead nut. In public.

I'm fairly sure tacit and I would fight more than talk peacefully. while I understand and grok being
*-postitive, that brand of granola poly makes my ass itch.

[anagramofbrat.livejournal.com]

Curious as to why you consider him granola poly?

[sixswordsamurai.livejournal.com]

Word choices mostly. The idea that we "shouldn't" objectify people. That's against human nature. We objectify as a matter of survival. we don't want to call it that, but it's what it is. People are prizes to be won, mates to be acquired. attempting to rail against that speak to a level of granola-headed-ness that I generally can't abide.

You say granola ... I say civilized.

[sixswordsamurai.livejournal.com]

Maybe. but civilization is a lie that we put onto the "Mate-Kill-Feed-Repeat" that we call life.

[nounsandverbs]

You can feel free to call that life, if you want to.

You and I always seem to have this particular disagreement, what I'm doing is recognizing the animalistic, primal side of our existence. You don't see that. I can respect that.

[nounsandverbs]

I see it ... as a SIDE of our many-sided existence. Not the only side. I don't deny the animalistic, primal part of us is there. I just think civilization is the process of learning to temper that -- and in some cases, overcome it -- with reason.

[sixswordsamurai.livejournal.com]

I always found reason to just be the next evolution of that animalistic nature. we learned big words, and learned tools to learn how to mate, kill, and feed better. Civilization was spawned from this. At least that's my opinion on the subject.
