Hello

[burning-dark.livejournal.com]

I am, as you may have guessed, new to this community.

I am not personaly multipul but I was at one point, split due to situations I couldn't handle on my own. It wasn't so much that we were two people so much as there was Me-Who-Could-Cope and Me-Who-Couldn't-Cope. I identified it as a him and him as Alexander, my older brother.
It has been three years sence I last saw him and he only came up for half an hour to beat the crap out of someone who tried to grope myself and, more importently, my sister. At the time I was furious and he just kind of showed up, took control, beat on the guy for a while, and left. The only thing my sister noticed was that I rather suddenly aquiered skill with a padded sword(I am quite hopeless at it myself) and commenced with the fight and the accompaning lecture on what is and is not appropriet to do upon meeting a young lady.
I can only assume that if I need him he'll come back but I generaly don't see him at all. the problems that split us are years past and I'm quite content with my life now.


I do live with two multipul households, one of whom is my mother and the other my 'brother'(dear friend come to live with us and decided to stay)
they are both three person households and I have met and acepted all of them that I know of.
I consider my mother's 'brothers' to be my uncles and can tell the difference between them without more then a glance. I am, I beleve, the only one who -can- tell them apart even when one of them 'flickers' in and out of corporiality in seconds. He does this occasoinaly and I am the only one(who doesn't share the body) who can catch him at it every time.
I freely admit to being alarmed but the other of my uncles at first, but considering that the first time I saw him I was eight and we were right in the midst of the fore-mentioned problems I think that's only natural.
My brother's kin can be quite odd but I do not fear them nor have I ever feared them.

There is elements of Magik in my knowing the difference between my uncles but I most cirtenly don't rely on it and do not need to do so.
As I said, I am not multipul anymore but I have a great deal of knowlage on the subject and I am quite willing to share.
I am very blunt and I will give a logical, rational awnser to a quetion I am asked. I will attempt to be tactful but if and when tact fails, I can and will be -very- strateforward, to the point of rudeness if need be. I hope that this will not offend anybody and I'm saying it now so people know it.

In an attempt to also be blunt (and hopefully tactful...), you did read the user info, I'm assuming, and so know that it is spelled 'multiple'? (the rest, hey, everybody makes mistakes. There *is* a spell check function if you're having difficulty)

Anyway, hello, and I hope you find being here a useful learning experience.

it looked like a typo to me...

[kangetsuhime.livejournal.com]

Using 'multipul' many times in one post is a typo? o_O Debate about how to typo from multiple to multipul aside, seems odd to do it many times. It's worth pointing out in case it wasn't. Besides which, some people genuinely aren't aware that there's a spell check function they can use if they have difficulty spelling some words (for any reason)

[pthalo]

oh, i only noticed it the first time, and if it was just once it could easily have been a typo. especially if you type quickly, sometimes your fingers type something completely different from what you want, i think my fingers typed "wocked" for "walked" once, which made me go o.O because I can, of course, spell walked properly.

even though it happened more than once, i still think it's kind of "eh" to point it out. it's like when people point out that i'm stuttering. i know it just took me five seconds to get past the "d" in dinner, do me a favour and ignore it and respond to the content of what I'm saying.

Ja, but your voice doesn't have a spell check button that would make your life a whole lot easier ^_~ I figure it may well be an easily corrected mistake. Better to correct it (if easily corrected) than people make derisive comments behind one's back, ne?


I do the 'weird' typo thing. Some of them are really bizarre. If it's a continued error I just figure it's something more in the way the person thinks it should be spelled. And if it's easily fixable... why not? I've had friends with dyslexia and all sorts. I don't generally force attention onto something that really can't be helped. Don't point out what look like typos either. If someone has genuinely picked up the wrong idea about a certain spelling though, eh, may as well make sure they know.

Before Jumping down the Throat Of Someone who was just trying their best to talk in a Community that's supposed to be for Education and Awareness, why Not try Correcting those who have already broken the 'Clear & Correct English' Rule Of this Community,.?

I.E. Your Correspondence with kaikaitalktalk

If Your going to be a 'Rules Lawyer' you need to do it to Everyone. Including those who share your same brand of 'Demonic Influence'

~M/F/J~

[kangetsuhime.livejournal.com]

Share my same brand of... *huh*? Excuse me while I become utterly confused as to what the hell you are talking about. We don't have any demons in this system. Did we ever give that impression?


I leave Kaikai be because telling Kaikai to talk normally would, to me, be like telling a 5 year old to talk like a well educated adult.

I brought up *one* repeated spelling error, in case it was one that the OP genuinely hadn't recognised. I always have and always will encourage people who have problems with spelling to use the spellcheck function. I hardly think it makes me HOMGBAD that I didn't bring it up to someone who, to me, doesn't even have the abilities of a child.



And since apparently, I should be being a 'Rules Lawyer' to everyone, capital letters are generally used in places such as the beginning of sentences, and at the beginning of names (of places, people, etc). You will also find that it's "If you're going to-", not "your". Now that I have begun pathetically picking apart the spelling and grammar of everyone, are you satisfied?

I don't care to sit and pick apart everybody's quirks, everybody's errors. I'm not an English teacher, so I wouldn't pick them all up anyway, even if I cared to correct them, which I don't. In a community for multiplicity, I thought I would make sure that the OP knew that 'multipul' was not the correct spelling. It was the only spelling used in the posts, so I suspected she may have thought it was the right spelling. I pointed out that it was not so.

I understand you may be feeling overprotective of the OP, but (especially given her final lines) I was fully confident that if she had a problem with what I said, she'd tell me.

Heh. Sounds like he did you a good turn. Are you sure you don't want him back?

Take this kind of thing to e-mail, please.

Re: Dismayed and disconcerted

[kangetsuhime.livejournal.com]

Because it's 'off topic', or...?

(Just checking, I know topics here have gotten pretty random at times)

Buck the Fack Off!

You have tread upon something that is Not,... Entirely! Not! allowed!

You Have Absolutly NO! CLUE! as to how The Parenting Structure of this Family Is Run! There Is NO! cause for you to say such Horridly Slanderous things! The fact that you would sit behind a computer and Spit Insults about someone's Parenting without even having the COURAGE and/or HONOR of Saying It directly to them, and Instead going through Their Child Is beyond Disgusting!!!!!!!!

I'll be happy to inform you that the Parenting of this child has produced one of the Best and Most Well behaved children that I've come across in the 25 years I've been Alive on this planet! There Is more than 1 Person and Family Group in just Our County Alone who has commented to the same effect! There Is Demonstrably Huge amounts of Encouragement and Support from anyone who has Ever met this Mother & Daughter Pair.

You Having NO! Direct Birth Children of your Own Speaks Volumes In It Of Itself!

Who Do You Think You Are!

And Also, When has Your Body, YOUR BODY! Ever Picked up a sword Other than to Look at How Shiny it is,.?! Seeing as how in this life and in this time and in your current body, there is no way for your Muscles and/or your Brain to understand the nuances Of Fighting against someone Or the knowledge of How it feels,.!

The Closest thing you know Is a Video Game! There's nothing Accurate enough in Any Digitized Format relating to anything In the real world as to make it Vicariously Attainable.

You are Finished! You can do anything you wish in retaliation to me. As I am Leaving this Community and will Never speak to you or anyone in your household Ever! IN MY LIFE! You are a sad and pathetic Person and I sincerely hope that one day someone comes along and makes It paramountly clear as to just how Nasty you are.

We Have Said all There Is to Say!

May you never Darken our Doorstep EVER AGAIN!

These kinds of topics tend to get volatile pretty quickly.

Hrm.

After reading the above, perhaps notpluralenough would be a place for you to look?

You should probably respect your mother's wishes not to be posted about (not everybody likes to have their private lives talked about openly). But in terms of what you yourself experienced, it may be helpful to see how other multiples (of varying types and origins) are. Maybe it will help you see where your mother is coming from re: your multiplicity or lack thereof, maybe not. Just an idea.

I've frozen the thread until further notice, to stop it from turning into any more of a flamewar than it already is.

The main participants should take it up in email if they wish to continue.
