The accusing people who are just getting on with their lives of manipulating their partners is also pretty tiring.
There actually are people studying non-monogamous relationship models out there so yes those experts do exist if you seek them out.
If your source is just "in my experience" that's fine, just make it clear that's what you are citing. Because otherwise it's just the same appeal to authority issue that you are accusing me of.
- LightHugger 4y agoYeah, then just say that. Don't mean what you wrote this time, but write "cite your sources". Just say what you mean, without playing that weird game of annoying people with irrelevant citation requests.
- __alexs 4y agoI'm not sure what you're expecting but "personal experience" seems like a perfectly reasonable response to my original question.
- the_third_wave 4y agorandom_person: It's raining. __alexs: CITE YOUR SOURCES! random_person: I just came from outside and noticed. __alexs: OK, that is a perfectly reasonable response. Nope, the "cite your sources" thing does not work here either. It belongs on the Talk pages of Wikipedia articles or at the most in discussions where something really contentious is put forward by someone who has not given any indication of where he got his information from.
- __alexs 4y ago> discussions where something really contentious is put forward by someone who has not given any indication of where he got his information from. Like this one apparently.
