Yeah, I get frustrated, because on the one hand, I don't want to let the assholes claim the asylum and define the terminology. And sometimes I need a damn word to describe the big swathe of pluralish experience and groups, and i was already informed "multi" is too narrow, and now plural seems to be going the same way.

But I also don't want to pressure folks to feel they have to join this stupid shark tank! Especially since I know so many folks who're midcont, mediant, was-multi-but-then-the-other-guy-jetted, or one the soulbonding side who feel they aren't ALLOWED to see themselves as plural, lest they taint our pristine privy pool, when no, that's not how it should be!

Blaaargh. Your opinion is strong and meritful. I just hate that this is even a problem. (See also: how trans, once an umbrella term, now seems to have just become the next "transsexual".)
