Welcome to the forum. :) There's lots of good people here. Also, I hope your meeting with him goes well. :)

It's a clear, sunny day. The parking lot is flat and level. The car in front of me is an automatic. And the person in front of me decides to BACK INTO A PARKING SPACE. Ahhhhhhh! :eek:

What are your pet peeves? What little irksome things do people do or situations arise that just grinds your gears?

They deleted their post without any explanation. :(

I didn't think I'd hear these kinds of things from my friends, considering how I run in iconoclastic circles. Yet two pairs of friends BOTH said something to me today like, "How can you be poly without drama?" as if somehow monogamy avoids drama! I don't feel scared; I feel a little annoyed...

Incest is a very stigmatized term. What is it about this situation brings up the stigma, either for her, or for you, if it was your word? Are you sure? It seems to me that somewhere in this situation there's a miscommunication. Either you guys usually communicate well (I assume that based on...

I realize after I wrote out that really, really long post that Nerdist wasn't describing "healthy" but "ideal." So I suppose a lot of my comments were more or less mental masturbation.

Polynerdist, I've actually got a few "issues" with some of the things you posted. Perhaps they're negated by the post as a whole, because, in general, I agree. But I do have some specific issues. I'd like to see what you think about them. I've seen this specific dynamic backfire...

I've got to say that I think both Crisare and Ceoli/Davik are right here. What I mean by that is that from my reading, none of the people here are trying to force their terms or definitions onto others, instead are trying to explain their viewpoints and opinions in the way they see best. On...
