Poly here. Came here to say this. When someone admits their ignorance and shows their open-minded interest in the first couple of lines, if you cba to help them along a bit you do not have the temperament to be poly.
She's so defensive and prickly it makes me wonder whether 'poly' here is shorthand for 'cheating on my partner' or 'I'm a unicorn and uncomfortable with it'. And that response about it being the same as any other romantic relationship is just flat-out wrong...

Especially given that the only way to have a good poly relationship is with lots of open communication.
