true. my statement was one I said to an old girlfriend that kept accusing me of cheating when I never ever did. I figured if I was to bear the pain of it, I may as well reap the sins since I'm being punished for it.
I do also find it interesting that when you post a thread that says, "How can I get back at..." you'll get lots of views and replies... but this one exploring why we do... well I guess it speaks about the community in a negative way.
