I am not going to nitpick your comment – there are simply too many obvious faults with what you are saying and an intelligent reader will see it for themselves.

What I will point out is that by arguing for your doctrine with falacial logical arguments, talking down on others and then simply refusing to listen puts you along side aggressive religious preachers who simply shut off the world around them, fuel their delusion by staying in their small world of similarly minded people and ignore the world around them. This is called deluded closedmindedness. Somewhat ironic, isn’t it?

I’m generally happy to discuss things with people who have opposing viewpoints. Because guess what, that’s how I often discover and find out new things.

But yeah, aside from that, I agree with your points. This post really isn’t about calling anyone’s lifestyle wrong, it’s about bringing the awareness of polyamory to people who might be happiest in such a relationship setup!

Not to attack anyone, but more to bring an outside perception of J and Paul’s comments: they seem to disagree with your opinions and almost argued to try and say you were wrong. The thing is, if you don’t like what you are reading and don’t agree with it, then move on because telling your viewpoint doesn’t change anything. That person is still going to believe what they want. And if it makes them happy, then why try and persuade them otherwise? Also, it is a waste of energy to state your difference in opinions. It doesn’t change the other person. People change because they want to change. We do not control how or if they change.

“But I find it frustrating that you are using ignorance to support your argument and sway your viewpoint.”

First off, arguments are used when you want to persuade somebody. Vlad was not trying to persuade anyone. He was bringing awareness. He fully said he was okay with monogamy.

J said:
“but I do consider your reasons to be flawed. Polyamorous relationships in most cases will not work well in the long run.”

That’s great if you feel someone’s reasons are flawed, but guess what? It doesn’t matter what you think because all that matters is what the individual person thinks and how they choose to live their life. If you choose to live your life differently then, by all means do so! This is extended to both monogamy and polygamy. Second, stating that polyamorous relationships in most cases won’t work in the long run, is a presumption and a waste of time to even bring up because it might work for Vlad.

All in all, these two people seem to disagree with Vlad’s beliefs and seriously, what’s the point of even commenting? There is no solution to this argument. Vlad is going to believe what he believes based off of what works for him. Trying to bring up why you think he has ignorant viewpoints doesn’t matter. We cannot change people or their beliefs. We have to give space to people and their unique and individual beliefs and perceptions. So polygamy works for him. Then so be it! Debating back and forth is going absolutely nowhere. Honestly, what is the point of leaving your negative comments? What does it accomplish? He is just being open and honest about a piece of his life and allow him to have his beliefs and instead of try and point out why you disagree. It doesn’t matter if you disagree. All that matters is that Vlad believes it and if he is happy then I say, be happy!

And what is the point for me commenting then? Because I am sick of people not allowing others to be different and not understanding that it doesn’t matter if you disagree with someone. All that matters in life, is that we do what we believe in and if you disagree, continue living your own life and leave that person be. Because we cannot change anyone! Commit to living a life that is pure and following your own path, not trying to change someone else’s. But most importantly, the time you spent disagreeing with Vlad, could have been spent doing more of what you love in life, having a phone call with an old friend, writing a letter to someone, working on your book or anything else that specifically affects YOUR life.

Thank you. Sorry about the long post!

P.S. I don’t wish to argue with anyone, and I will not respond to anyone nitpicking my comment. I am solely trying to stick up for Vlad when other people are bickering with him for his belief and his effort to bring awareness.
