Snark deficiency needs correcting.

[lilairen]

Paraphrased from email:

Just because a statement like "poly people are more advanced" doesn't apply to you doesn't mean it's not true!

I actually had to respond to this as if it were sane. I had to block the snark from manifesting. Please help me correct this systemic imbalance.

Um. Simple math here...

If you are poly, and poly people are more advanced, then you must be more advanced.

If you are not more advanced, then it follows that "poly people are more advanced" is not a true statement.

If A=B and B=C, then A must = C.

Just because you can't see how a statement like "poly people who think poly people are more advanced are helplessly supercilious and naive" applies to you doesn't mean it doesn't.

I did suggest that the person to whom I was responding read a few months of back entries in polyamory to accumulate relevant data . . .

A week or two should suffice, really...

Hell, one good day. For some values of "good."

If I'm so advanced, where's my futuristic house? There must be some concrete proof I've gone beyond the mundane.

[stormgren]

Yes! And a flying car, too!

[orangeseeker]

Or some aluminum and plexi proof, anyway... your concept of a futuristic house may vary... :-) :-)
