Current mood:

Mildly Amused

Wanted: Hot woman to sexually service couple. Must be prepared to emigrate.
The ever productive polyamory community is at it again, folks.

It all started when a newbie, timetraveler7, posted to the community with an introduction.

My wife and I are polyamorists without living polyamory. Imagine how we felt when we discovered that. Now all we need is some friends of like persuasion, with who we can gab and gab about such a nice thing as LOVE. We live in Belize, Central America--having recently emigrated. We have lots of room in paradise for friends and visitors. In partaicular, we think we would like to find that special "she" who might like to get to know us...with whom we can dream. Or more. Anyone out there like to get to know us?

Trouble kicks off right away, as observant members note that it's against community rules to post intro posts and personal ads without including a topic for general discussion. timetraveler7 acknowledges this but does nothing about it, citing not knowing how as a defence. The mod intervenes, tersely requesting it be edited. And then things kick off, as nine_waters takes offence to the mod doing her job (o noes!) and flounces out. The snarking commences.

Minor, as these things go. Wait. It gets better. timetraveler7 reveals more about himself... and people, it's good.

mactavish points out the obvious flaws in his quest - namely that a) suppose the person they start dating goes off one of them, and b) who the hell's going to leave their whole life behind and emigrate to fucking Belize? (Except a bit politer than that, but you get my drift.)

Mr. Time Traveler responds with a potted biography that notably fails to give a straight answer to either point but does contain abuse of the English language that brings tears to the eyes. In which we discover that he's 66 and he's on his second (third?) wife... who is 29. He met her online and married her after a two-week in person courtship. And to top it all off... he's a Mormon polygamist who believes men are naturally polygamous by nature. Also claims to be seeking friendship more than anything else, and it's completely not about the sex... but adamantly insists that the third he's after HAS to be a woman, because he and his wife don't trust men.

There's plenty here to mock, but my personal favourite has to be the bit about the frustrating pidgeon called Creole. My inner linguist is cringing, but my inner child loves the mental image...

The people who actually part of the actual religion -- like, you know, the Vatican -- hasn't excommunicated Mel Gibson. Sounds like he's Catholic to them, so it sounds like he's Catholic to me.

Actually, if you had even bothered looking into the "Traditionalist Catholic" issue at all, you... oh, fuck it. Clearly you are going to be at this all night, because you are just that stupid, and you truly believe that everyone else has all the reading comprehension and communication problems here, when, in fact, it all comes down to you. I would be better off trying to explain this shit to my cat's ass that to you, as it would make more of an attempt to understand.

Are you always this much of a douche? No, really, be honest, are you?

Yes, I'm a douche because I'm responding specifically to your arguments. I'm fully aware of the issues of excommunication surrounding the Traditionalist Catholics, but you're the one who insists on name-dropping Mel Gibson every other sentence, so I'm playing along and talking about him. But if you'd prefer to pretend you said something else, so you look smarter and I look dumber, be my guest. I hear comment deletion helps that along quite nicely.

	so you look smarter and I look dumber That's not hard. I hear comment deletion helps that along quite nicely. Something got deleted during this conversation? Or was that the imaginary conversation in your head that's apparently moving in ways that are entirely different than this one? (Reply to this)(Parent)
