This Guy Was A Teacher At My School

[Daoloth]

I just discovered that:

The author and webmaster behind www.threeringmarriage.com was a teacher at my high school. His last year was the year 00-01, and he has since moved to some rural town. My mother, a teacher at my school, had a classroom across the hall from his. He once made a remark suggesting that we join their family (he has two wives and seven children). Furthermore, contrary to his website claim that he taught “emotionally disturbed children,” he actually worked in a form of special education.

I must add that he had the perfect creep persona.

What kind of fucked up bastard goes and gets him two wifes and then knocks one up more times than the other? thats just rude!!

[Guinastasia]

I wonder if the “emotionally disturbed” children he works with are his own?

That’s just creepy! EEEWWW!!!

I like this one the best:

from the “bullet points”
**In 1609, Galileo contradicted the reverenced theories of Aristotle concerning gravity (at risk to his life and freedom). Today, Brian Wachtendorf contradicts the conventional wisdom of family structure, but the risk would be not contradicting it. **

When in doubt, compare yourself favorably with a long dead and persecuted scientist… that’ll lend instant credibility.

It’s so bizarre to see his name referred to as such, when just two years ago he was eating lunch in the large commons at the teacher’s table like all the others.

He also has crap website design skills.

Bolding mine.

The children attend public school where they are reported by teachers, administration, and peers to be extremely well adjusted, and accepted. . . even popular. Private school or home schooling has never been considered because Brian says, “There is no “special” Wal-Mart!” This humorous statement is one of many he uses to exemplify to his children that the world is made up of all kinds of people and that “we/they” must be able to function successfully in that world.

ICK. ICK. ICK.

Okay hez a sucky designer and lo behold…he does do webdesign work professionally http://truthbearer.net
His webdesign site is even funnier:

Make your money work double-time!

Now, you can support the pro-polygamy cause AND afford your own web-site at the same time!*

TruthBearer.net
Your Polygamy WebServices!

WOW next time anyone needs websites designed please do ask this guy to set u up…after all who wouldn’t want some great looking design and the knowledge that by hiring him you are supporting the greater cause all at once!

Estoy confundido. I may have missed part of his website, but does it say there that he mistreats his wives or his children, or that his wives are subjugated to him in some way or do not enjoy rights in the marriage that he does?

Or is this just another EW! GROSS! rant about polyamory?

[Tranquilis]

matt beat me to the punch. Show me that he’s doing damage to someone, or I’m not going to get all excercised about his love & family life. Even if he is a crappy web designer.

Maybe one of 'em had twins.

The SDMB never ceases to suprise me. I see threads about open marriages, promiscuity, all manner of “deviations” and they are considered perfectly normal. Then turn around and see those same behaviors vilified. :boggle:

Selective open-mindedness is something I’ve never been able to justify.

You do realize most people denounced the idea of the open marriage in that thread, don’t you?

[Mtgman]

We must have read different threads. Yet another quirk of the non-monolithicness of the SDMB. Probably one of the things that makes me come back.
