Jeff was probably not asking what “sacred cow” means; more likely the question was asking in what way polyamory is a sacred cow of EA.
I will grant that EA is more tolerant of most personal traits than society typically is, and therefore is more supportive of polyamory than other groups just by not being against it, but it’s not anywhere in any canonical EA materials, and certainly not a sacred cow. Plenty of EAs are criticizing it in this very thread.

This seems a bit obtuse. In any local EA community I’ve been a part of, poly plays a big part in the culture.
This is sort of true, but most of them are receiving a lot of downvotes. And this is the first time I’ve seen a proper discussion about it.
