As much as it's very sad that most people assume integration is the only possible happy outcome for somebody who is multiple, I do find that in multiple communities the pendulum tends to swing the other way a bit, and condemn integration completely.
I think it's too easy for people to just assume that somewhere at the center of things, all people are really just like they are. That's why a lot of folks don't really believe in multiples, they are just one person, and surely these people who claim to be multiple are really just one person, showing different aspects, or being deluded, or whatever. I had another multiple try and tell me that my system didn't work the way it actually does, but rather it worked more like how his systme works, and it started to get a little frustrating!
