[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yeah, I think we were defining the nature of poly relationships.

If someone says they're Poly or Bi or Gay or whatever you just say "ok" because they're really the only person who could possibly make that call. I don't think anyone here disagrees with that.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Noise, I agree with you 100%. But the definition of a polyamorus relationship that has been given seems to make a lot of people who don't orient themselves a poly, poly.

I don't deny that poly is an orientation or that someone who orients themself as poly isn't if they aren't in any relationship(s).

How if they don't consider themselves oriented that way?

Good point.

I have nothing to back to myself up with because you have a good point.

I'ma sit back here and watch your good point.

The point being that if I'm not poly, then those relationships aren't poly. If I'm not homosexual and I have close friendships with homosexual men, that doesn't make them homosexual relationships.

eta looks like I just had a x-post with DJ.

Not to downplay my very good point, but there are closeted people who wouldn't consider themselves gay, but I do-or at least bi.

Yeah, me too. There was lots of discussions at the time of her "Gay now" declaration about how she was "actually bi." Bugged.

Orientation wasn't part of the initial definition.
