Nikki, while I wouldn't necessarily use the word "flame", I think what Nowthen was getting at is that, for one, this story wasn't posted to discuss morality, ethics, the divorce rate, etc. It was a story, and I agree that there is a certain section of users that are in the pre-college grad. world, where it is much easier to apply a bright line test to relationships and the way in which we as humans react with one another. If this had been posted in sexuality to discuss the implications of his actions, then fine, he opened himself up for it. But he didn't, he chose this forum, and for that reason, I would consider it a flame when someone start calling him out on his actions in such a way.
Christ, what is the easiest way to start a flame war in here? Mention cheating. Dear god so much time and effort has been spent on that subject it is unbelieveable. Invariably, the ones who adopt the ethos "once a cheater always a cheater" usually have as their most vocal supporters those of us in here who still haven't stepped out of college yet and been hammered by the real world.
Anyway, sorry for the rant, but pulling out the "cheating card" pissed me off.
