A guide to our inner workings.

This is what I came up with this morning... a guide to the system I'm part of.

Enjoy, learn, and feel free to ask questions. (I'd actually like to add a FAQ to it, so please, ask questions.)

That's not what people mean when they use the term inner. Your post is misleading. It makes it seem like you're different because you're not a fragment. You're not. We're all full individual people here as are most of the people that post to this community.

Most of the people I associate with use the term "inner" to describe the other people in their systems, or as a "lay" term of sorts. That's why I said what I did in the way I did.

Yes but that doesn't mean that those other people are fragments.

He's saying that he wants to differentiate himself absolutely from systems mostly made up of fragments.

We'll edit it a little bit later, once he's feeling better. The kids are here (irl) getting on his nerves.

So why are you taking it that way? He seems to be making clear to me which are the fragments and which are not.

Are you trying to say that there is no such thing?

[morgil-lomion.livejournal.com]

Just because he's not a fragment doesn't mean some of the others in the system aren't. So perhaps he's differentiating himself from those within their system who are. Perhaps he's differentiating between that and what other people he's associated with have called the people in their heads.

Either way, it seems that if those he shares his system with don't object, and if it effectively communicates the idea of "someone else in here" he can use whatever term he wants.

If they don't object, you have no right to.

It's not that he's differentiating. It's how he's differentiating and making it seem like fragments and pieces are the default for other systems.

As for whether I have a right, he's the one who posted the link and asked for opinions.

Then perhaps you should explain why? I don't see why it seems that way to you... It seems to me that he differentiates quite well really. The fact that most of the descriptions begin with "She's a very strong individual," or "The main other person in our system" seems to me to imply that most of the people in there are /not/ fragments or pieces or anything. And the ones that are, seem to be the exceptions.

Perhaps I'm just reading it differently that you. I don't know. It just seems odd that anything here would offend you.
