Still think it isn't trolling and openly trying/inciting to drive us away and create hard feelings?

1. External trolls hit EVERY hot topic item on DU

I agree.

BUT, the outright hatred and vitriol against even the idea of poly expressed by true long term members here is what disgusts me.

[pnwmom]

4. Examples of the hatred and vitriol, please? nt

[PowerToThePeople]

5. OMG.

Read ANY thread on the subject. I am not linking the obvious for you.

Nice try.

[riderinthestorm]

6. So you've got nothing. Noted.

please make sure if you DO decide to link anything that you have evidence that DUers are aiming vitriol at polyamory, not polygamy as practiced here in the US and elsewhere.

Because as far as I've seen, it's not "all things poly".

It's polygamy as practiced here in the US and abroad.

[PowerToThePeople]

8. No one here is advocating in favour

of repressive, non-consensual relationships of ANY TYPE.

This whole line of argument from the anti-poly group is bullshit. It is the same argument Santorum and other bigots use.

10. So you still got nothing. Noted nt

12. Bird.

Look, I am not waisting my time on this BS, it has been shown over and over and over in MANY threads. Yet, still the BS keeps going, just like this OP. It reminds me of Fox or Limpballs, just keep spewing the same shit over and over, when people get tired of rebuking it, then that proves they were correct all along. Dumb. You do not win because I refuse to play your stupid games.

[riderinthestorm]

13. If you make a declarative statement, it's not "stupid games" to back it up

Its common here at DU.

[PowerToThePeople]

14. If anyone wants to know

please use the "search" function on this site keywords "polygamy poly". Read the threads and come to your own conclusions. That is all I am going to say. I am officially done in this thread.

[Bluenorthwest]

15. You make assertions, nasty assertions about other people and then refuse to back them up

because you can't, because you are characterizing others as part of your agenda. It's terrible. Everyone sees it.

9. Really?

The posts against traditional polygamy are well justified.

Traditional polygamy abuses women and children. One of my ancestors was a mail order bride to Salt Lake City who ran away because she didn't like sharing a husband.

I also think all this noise is a Republican Rat Fuck.

Rat Fucker Justice Roberts wrote it into his dissent.

Poly doesn't disturb me in the least. Make it work. Design laws that protect all the partners and their children.

But too many of these "supportive of poly" posts are simply and obviously right wingers throwing shit.

Like this elephant:

2. Poly ONLY comes up here and EVERYWHERE else NOW as a way to demean the

success of the LGBT community, period.

[Aerows]

3. I don't think a single person

that is LGBT wants to diminish, demean or otherwise harm a structure that works for some families.

But when we rightfully point out, as members of the LGBT community, that many of these folks were singing an entirely different song before the gay marriage decision, it should do more than just raise an eyebrow.

Call it what it is.

7. It is sad when Democrats behave like Republicans

I guess love scares the hell out of some people.

[JI7]

11. It is fucking disgusting and i wish they would all be banned

[TexasTowelie]
