    This was, oh, a decade ago or more. Was reading a book on polyamory and ethical non-monogamy. I can’t remember the title, but it was one of the early “big” books on the topic.

    It actually made me angry. Not because of the topic, I’m fine with the topic or I wouldn’t have picked it up in the first place.

    But the author said such STUPID shit like “There’s no such thing as a ‘reverse gangbang’.” And I’m like “Well, shit, man, your search engine must suck!”

    It made me angry that he took an important topic and got it so thoroughly and completely wrong. And that people held it up as like this “Important” work on the topic.

    Some books are not to be set aside lightly, they are to be thrown with great force.
