It's pretty common in other cities I've been too. I prefer it. There have been nights at my work that I have suggested to customers that they line up. It's a lot easier and a lot better. You order your drink and get walking. And no one's yelling or waving money in a bartender's face becaue you all know who's next in line.

Again, as I previously stated this conversation is over; seems you "missed the call". Just because you asked to be included on the email list, "what about ENM?" and requested an off-line conversation doesn't mean it's going to happen. I don't need an "offline" conversation as I previously stated I'm quite familiar with what you term the "nuances" of polyamory. Just because someone won't agree with you that those folks are single doesn't mean there needs to be a further conversation just more evidence of the pushiness of the community. I have a feeling you'll reply because you can't possibly not have the last word. Stop replying to me.

This whole thread is like a microcosm of things I notice in my 20 year old son and his generation. Occasional inexperience with the unspoken social rules of in-person interactions, healthy questioning of the usefulness of those rules, and the ability to hear another point of view and change their mind without being a total dickhole.

It makes it worse for the bartender who tends to interact with more than one person at a time. As someone else said they can serve 4 people cans while they're waiting for a Guinness pour from a tap. They can do it their way which is never one person at a time.

Doyle used to have some issues, but I think it has mellowed out a bit since my experiences in 2016ish. A few years back most issues on the East side seemed to cluster on Camp and Doyle/University Heights area. Fewer issues the closer you are to Hope.

I know someone who had their car door broken open with rocks back then (the door--not the window. it was crazy expensive). They said it happened down the whole street overnight. That was the most expensive issue, but also some first floor break ins. Just secure windows in your place and don't wander around late at night, type of stuff, but it's worth mentioning if you're new to the area that it used to have a bit of a reputation in its own right (but this may very well have shifted since then).

You're still missing the part where I never insisted, nor even insinuated, that poly people need be included on this "list for single people." You also missed my call to action urging you to take this particular conversation offline.

If I do say so myself: it seems that, perhaps most importantly, you also need to relax lmao
