folks panic over the funniest things.
(or cheer - maybe that explains sports audiences?)

Because poly does not get a lot of societal support the way that nice, straight "normal" people do, I think they rely very heavily on their own communities, yeah.

It's kind of like freaking out because a black cat crossed your path.

True that.
Rely? good. Support? good.
However when something happens to one group there's no particular reason it should happen to any other... and it's a good time for that reliance and support to go both ways :)
I can see some honest fear that "it's because it was poly that things broke up" however it's far more likely something else as people are funny beasts.

Guess some folks need more positive examples out there to help give confidence.
*wavies hi to y'all* (after all, this comic's such an example)

Well, I don't personally panic when long established poly formations go under but I've seen folks who do and I even comprehend why.

And I'm glad you think so. Lol. ;)

Bah. How many "Regular" marrages last even 20-years?

I'm a child of the '80s. We made fun of the kids that still had their parents living together! ;-P

I think people get discouraged when role models don't live up to expectation. Solution? No role models.
