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

It all started when a newbie, [info]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. [info]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 [info]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. [info]timetraveler7 reveals more about himself... and people, it's good.

[info]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...

I really don't see how it's offensive to say, "There are these people who are called the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, who are not the same as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." Which I said quite clearly, several times, and even linked to the oh-so-reliable Wikipedia article which makes that schism quite clear. But please don't let me stand between you and a good bout of indignant self-righteousness.

Aww. Thank you, poor dumb puppy, for trying to make me feel less bad. That is so nice of you!

So -- out of curiosity, does all your knowledge of this subject come from said Wikipedia article?

Nope.

Also, if you're Mormon (?) and I offended you, I apologize.

well, I'm Catholic and you've offended ME, do I get an apology?

What Mel Gibson and his ilk is NOT current modern-day Catholicsm. People leave the Church ALL THE TIME - they don't have to be excommunicated to leave.

People CALL themselves Catholic and don't pratice the religion. PolyMormons aren't truly Mormon, and MG and his ilk aren't really Catholic. They can CALL themselves the Queen of England for all I care.

(Just so you know? Most recent excommunications have been of Church officials that don't follow Rome's teachings. If the Church started excommunicating practicing Catholics [yes, like me] that chose to disagree on certain issues... well, there'd be no Catholics left)
