I upvoted it, just so you could respond. I’m curious what you did mean then. I thought you said something like that men in polyamorous relationships where men outnumbered women were not making the best decision, that it was a “detrimental sexual influence,” and that they were “succumbing to influences that lead one away from preferred outcomes in an obvious way due to maladaptive emotional insecurities.” Would you please explain why you think that? It doesn’t make sense to me, because such a relationship would be likely to give them supportive friends and partners, and allow them the freedom to find other partners as well.
Your question is reasonable but I if I replied in full it would change my previous stance to a coercion attempt rather than ejection according to my principles!
More practically, I think getting a shared understanding here would involve extensive comparing and contrasting of our underlying models of human behavior. Since claims about how humans think and act can sometimes be sensitive I thought we’d be better off if I left my meaning ‘lost in translation’. :)

:) Nice way to circumvent my precommitment!
