I'm jealous that other comms wank less
Note: No horses were molested in the making of this wank.
Over onpolyamory, comm member dbvanhorn posts a Heinlein quotation about jealousy, under the title "Thought for the day." The quotation reads, "Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often confuses one for the other, or assumes the greater the love, the greater the jealousy. In fact they are almost incompatible; both at once produce unbearable turmoil." Surely this comment couldn't cause drama in a community of people who choose to have multiple lovers and work to minimize the effect of jealousy on their lives ...
OR COULD IT.
Yeah. It could. People react negatively to the quotation.dbvanhorn then edits the post to remove the quotation and say (if I recall correctly) something about how he "didn't expect the quotation to bring so much hostility." Latecomers, like me, are left saying WTF? The mod, 00goddess, weighs in on the "passive-aggressiveness" of the edit. dbvanhorn then puts the quotation back in the original post, along with a little more tiny-violin self-serenading. And, naturally, everyone wanks about jealousy. (I assure you, my comments are entirely unwanky. *nodnod*)
So, baby, what are your thoughts on poly?
