It's people liek this that cause the world of multiples to never be seen for what it truly is

(btw, for those of you who don't know me (pretty much everyone) I'm a non-multiple whose SO is a member of a multiple system)

EDIT:

The purpose of me posting this was not to bash one specific person for their belief on how they should treat my SO. This is jsut the first example I've gotten that is in WRITING of the way so many people think that a few pamphlets, a couple documentaries, and maybe a book or two and they're geniuses on the topic. They're the ones who don't see that whether someone is faking the "disorder" or not, it is often a defense mechanism, not something for purely attention. Even if it IS for attention, maybe teh person believes that surrounding themselves with a large number of peopel on the outside will protect them.

*rueful nod* Good decision. I went to a Joycean Christmas party one time, and nearly gnawed my own leg off. Kír says he thought the Joyceans were more bearable than people at science-fiction conventions, but I dunno... I think it may have just been that the Joyceans were mostly sober. Drunken Joyceans would be truly frightening.
