To lighten the mood a bit:

ame_chan explains it all: how to find a spouse/third/HBB in three easy steps. Things like this are pretty much the only reason I even bother with polyamory most days.

Notes to self: (cue Super Milk Chan: "You dumbass!")

* Check to see if you're using the "butter-flavored" instant grits before you add a big dollop of butter. Oog. You really can have too much "butter flavor". On the other hand, the cat is helping himself to the remains and seems happy enough with it.

* When you're getting ready for bed and wonder why it is your face seems to be peeling a bit, <hint> take a look at that jar of night cream full of retinol in your hand</hint>.

Now, do I go to the used book/music store, or do I realize that it is far too dangerous to go into such a place right this minute and wisely stay home?

and it doesn't strike anyone has having been more helpful both to that person and to the community as a whole to have pointed out that distinction to them?

Feel free to do so yourself, if you think it needs to be pointed out to them, rather than taking others to task for not doing it.

The OP was given a lot of suggestions on sites to look into, if you read the whole thread. Is humor so out of place? I can see if every person who commented ripped into them, but all ame_chan's comment did was add a humorous comment to a thread that had already had plenty of concrete suggestions on it.

Being disappointed my friends found the kind of behaviour I discourage my child from participating in is not quite the same as taking ame_chan to task. Niave, perhaps, but I do generally assume my friends are relatively compassionate people.

Sorry geekchick, no mas.

I know all of the people who have commented in response to ame_chan's comment, including ame_chan herself. I also know geekchick quite well. I know them to be compassionate people, however you choose to interpret their actions.

Personally, I am compassionate to people who I feel genuinely deserve compassion, and these people do not fall into that category.
