There is a difference between manipulation and healthy discussion, I think I can say after being on this thread a few days that most people here do not want Halsin to be stripped of his poly status nor do they want to manipulate him into being monogamous. There are quite a few issues with his dialogue and background, as well as how the poly itself was implemented (not just with Halsin himself). It's more complex than 'poly bad/monogamy good'.
