I agree with you on that, but I don’t see why you think that’s what’s going on with consensual polyamorous relationships.
That isn’t something I have said.
Anyway, I just noticed the great grandparent is standing at −2. I would accept that as par for the course for a clearly provocative ‘suckers’ call but −2 for the linked comment in the given context is a violation of my criteria for good faith participation. Since I don’t actually have an agenda to pursue here there given the freedom from self imposed ethical limitations my usual policy is to just ignore the conversation.
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!
