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...

Could it be this?

Well, there is in fact a church calling itself the Fundamental Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and they haven't been struck down by Joseph Smith yet, so ...

Or maybe this?

But pretending that FLDS doesn't exist because LALALALALA THE NICE MORMONS DON'T WANT IT TO is absurd.

Because that implies it to me.

No one's denying this particular sect exists. You decided to make that jump all by yourself. You asked if using the FLDS name was kosher, and you were told "not really." Since then, you've apparently been trying to prove it's a perfectly okay term to use and no one should be offended.

So, why did you ask if it was kosher, again?

Part of the problem in using that term is that by doing so, you're also implying that all people who characterize themselves as "Mormon polygamists" are part of this specific breakaway sect, which is untrue.

You're right; I shouldn't have asked if it was kosher/accurate to call FLDS people FLDS. It clearly is accurate. If it offends someone, and might thus be thought of as "unkosher," so be it.

Thank you for reminding me that not all polygamists who (claim to) follow in Smith's footsteps are FLDS. It is difficult to keep the wackos straight, lord knows.

That is my new favorite insult, right up next to 'Cosmically stupid tart'.
