The whole concept here is that "you hate polyamory because you read books about it where it sucks and the persons are unhappy, but such books are written by the people who had bad experiences, what you really hate is them". And how he knows "many people in happy, successful, polyamorous relationships". Well, I also know such people in real life, and they appear to be unhappy below the baseline for regular couples (which isn't that high to begin with). And of course as memoirs and books need not be involved in the reason people dislike polyamory, the happiness level of the people involved doesn't have to be involved either: one can disapprove of polyamory in principle, just as well, without having read a memoir about it - and regardless if the people involved are happy about it or not. After all, people can be happy while doing all kinds of things that are bad for them, and even more so while doing things that are bad for society, so happiness isn't some ultimate argument. Now, you can be pro or against polyamory, unhappy or happy in it. But this article is very light on anything substantial, and the who-writes-them-books argument is stretched beyond any reasonable level. Though, in a way he is right. I don't hate such articles: I hate the people who write such fluff (especially if they have the skills to write much better, like SSC/ACT).
