Wow, think I used that same basic concept in a paragraph on another thread earlier today.Communication is a two way street, and the responsibility relies with both the sender and the receiver. The sender may have to revise the expression for the sender to understand the true meaning. The receiver has to feedback to the sender to make sure they actually understand what is being said. BOTH have to be listening....and BOTH are responsible.
Imaginary I'm secretly in love with you
SHHHHHH! Mono might hear....and then he'll be jumping all over me...and not in the good happy way that you might enjoy!Imaginary I'm secretly in love with you
Now...why would you need to be kidding about that...in a poly forum?Do I have to fall in love with you too? (just kidding)
I'd be lieing if I said I could get tired of hearing positive reinforcement such as this. Thank-you, thank-you...I was here all week!Imaginary-I love you. You are awesome.

Thank you for doing a hell of a good job!!!!
I saw that. Nicely put. I'm thinking the other thread will be a better place to carry on that particular aspect, since I don't think it is as charged as this one.Wow, think I used that same basic concept in a paragraph on another thread earlier today.
I just read it on yours-and I still like it!
Now...why would you need to be kidding about that...in a poly forum?
We'll try to keep up with your need for positive reinforcement.I'd be lieing if I said I could get tired of hearing positive reinforcement such as this. Thank-you, thank-you...I was here all week!

You and LR might be able to...I don't think Mono would...Shareseze?! How do you spell that anyway?
Too bad I wasn't this eloquent on dating sites...I might have a dating life to occupy my time instead of spamming this board with 10,000 character posts....I wonder if I should report myself!giggle! Wouldn't necessarily! Actually told someone else that they need to get on here so they can fall in love with you too!
I'm sorry that Mono feels the need to leave over this. I made no ad hominem attacks here. But even if he listed it as his opinion, I would still have to take it to task because while such reasonings might work well for him in sustaining his opinion, they unintentionally marginalize and as consequence hurt a whole lot of other people in the process and I can't stand by without trying to raise awareness of that.
I'm sure it was never Mono's intention to hurt people in such a way as it was never my intention to hurt Mono in such a way.
You-
I think some people feel wired as one or another AND some people choose to live one way or another.
I don't think it is either or.
(and sometimes necroposts simply bring back good topics. Thats ok too)
You-
It is sad that anyone has to defend themselves or even feel the need to. Your personal feelings and beliefs are yours.
Being pretty new to this I am expressing my personal observations. Quite obviously I am wrong when it comes to some things, but I'm learning.
Youarehere, I am sorry, let me clarify what I meant.
Yes it is possible to love just one, or many. What I meant by the social norms is realizing that it is okay to love more then one and accepting that other do as well. We are taught from a guy young age that mono is the normal and anything else is wrong. Conditioned so to speak to confirm to what is socially acceptable. Being socially conditioned is entirely different then being personally wired. Better?
Once again, my apologies.
