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.

thanks man. thats pretty much exactly what i was getting, just i hadnt quite decided how to respond to nikki jumping in on the defence. a far as i can see, this thread was never about cheating. and i sincerely hope la petite moi can maintain her high moral standpoint, i really do... its just... give it another 10 years of the general shit and temptation that life throws at you, and it might be a different story.
*shrugs* what do i know though.
