This is a topic-driven discussion list for and about multiples and multiplicity-related issues. More specifically, it’s a list for those people out there who have given up on having a place to discuss multiplicity without getting crowded out or shut down by personal and interpersonal histories, hostilities, or inanities.

There are two very important things to know about this list:

1. It is mainly for discussion, not for random chitchat and hanging out. This list is not meant to be a replacement for other lists; it’s meant to be something different – a purposeful meeting of minds, not a social club. Both are important, but this list is only meant to be one of them.

2. One of the biggest reasons this list has been created is so that “enemies” can have a neutral place to talk about things without direct on-list repercussion. The long history on other lists has reached a point where it works against them; people no longer feel safe or willing to voice their thoughts and opinions in the presence of list members they don’t get along with. This list is an experiment – an attempt to focus on the issues and topics, NOT on the backgrounds or social stature of the people discussing them. This is an attempt to make the topic, and the sharing of information and experiences, the focus. The list owners figure it’s worth a shot to try to make a place where people can actually feel free to talk about subjects that affect their lives.

This list is largely uncensored, but there are a few VERY IMPORTANT RULES. Please see the first message on this list for the complete description of this list and its guidelines.
