As I mentioned earlier, I agree with this in the sense that they would like not
to be discriminated against.  I don't think there is any desire to "convert"
people, or to gain *special* privileges, etc.  As a group, I think that most of
us would be delighted to have it come about that being poly is no more
controversial than being a contra dancer.

Agreed, but that doesn't make it a belief system.  Just the way knitters share
tips on knitting.
