And this is the part I think tends to get missed in a lot of these discussions, as everyone runs to the rescue of the poor beleaguered unicorn from the nasty red eyed unicorn hunters. If the main thrust of the rescue is that the Unicorn is her own person, with wants, desires, and feelings of...

Welcome to the Forum! It's great to see you here.

This is the crux of the matter, and it should also be recognized that some terminology, like Unicorn, doesn't belong to us, or even the poly community in general. So it does us little service in communication to overload it with elements which have no commonality outside the poly community...

Actually I think LoveBunny is bang on target. I really don't think Unicorn is so far-gone as to be a derogatory term except in a few small circles of people who are TRYING to make it so. It does not need to be reclaimed, as much as sanctuary from those who are trying to hijack it. More to the...

For members in/near NYC, looking to take in a play in the next couple days: The Goddess By Justine Lambert and Kenneth Nowell Challenging conventional beliefs about love, marriage, and sex the Goddess Venus appears to Mike and Emma to shake things up...

I love your last line, it's bang on. Don't pay the anti-unicorn banter too much mind...there's a certain corner of the poly web that has an axe to grind where it concerns unicorn hunters. So unfortunately there's been a lot of conflagration of the unicorn term itself, with a lot of BS...

Yes, we had some technical difficulties yesterday. Seems they've all been sorted out now. If anyone is still having issues, please let me know.

Well, that is a day late, and entirely off topic. It seems this thread has run it's course.

The announcement was late, as in, just put up a few minutes ago. My bad. It wasn't really something I wanted to announce, since that would've made it real. Glad you're doing well, RP. We'll talk soon.

For those not already aware, RedPepper has moved away from moderator duties on the forum. She's been a valuable member of the moderation team for many years, and an active participant since pretty much the inception of the Forum. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors, with many...

Love and poly can take many forms, and even as a couple, it can mean different strokes for different folks. Each of you may end up having different ideas of what you want, or needs to be satisfied in whatever format you end up choosing for yourself. One of the frequent challenges is breaking...

Welcome to the Forum...and Poly! For someone supposedly newish to poly, you seem to have really good instincts. Dwelling on the negative is rarely useful, and digging at the real roots I find provides better clarity about what the "actual" problems are. I understand what you're saying about...

Mod Note Since this has generated some discussion, let's be clear, this IS my mod hat. Something to keep in mind about the guidelines is that they are not entirely exhaustive or built to cover every eventuality. Otherwise they'd be as long as the "How are you Doing" thread, ... and it's not...

Welcome to the Forum.

We break from our regularly scheduled lament to bring you this very important announcement of something completely different! I've been scrambling the last couple days to get everything ready for our summer road trip. I think most of it is pretty much ready...and the rest is being left in my...

So Dirtclustit, it seems from your post that you're perfectly aware that this is an ancient thread, and pretty much all the participants, including the one you're most directly responding too have long since moved on,.... So in case anyone else comes along and reads this thread, this is known...

Don't Interrupt! See....this is kinda what I don't understand. This sentiment is very similar to my former friend of 20 years....who would randomly come at me after we hadn't seen each other in a while with " I thought we agreed that if we weren't going to be friends anymore we could at least...

Closed That's all quite enough now. It seems people are having a tough time maintaining civility in this thread. As we don't have the time and resources to constantly monitor smoldering flame pits, this will be locked.

Events like this don't happen often, so I don't have a good place on the board to post this. As some may already be aware, the poly community is a lesser place today, for the unexpected passing of a lovely and vibrant person from the NW. I didn't know her nearly as well as I would have...

Sympathy’s and condolences And then to put everything in perspective, we heard some very sad news last night, about the passing of a dear friend in a nearby poly community. Someone lively, friendly, and full of awesome, who we had the great pleasure of knowing, though all too briefly, and not...
