someone please let me know if we are supposed to start molly coddling idiotic behavior when thoughts/advice etc has been ASKED for and I'll be sure not to the let door hit my fat ass on the way out.

Nope, shouldn't coddle, molly or otherwise. It just seems a bit ironic or something...can't think of the word...that on the one hand, we're pulled to the side and told to curb the bluntness of honesty but on the other, calling someone an 'idiot' is ok.

One asks 20 people for their opinon, one shouldn't be suprised if they get 20 people saying hhat what happened was lame, if they all happen to think so. Sometimes it happens.
I would wager that it wouldn't have gone down the same way if the OP hadn't repeatedly defended and justified his own actions, and completely disregarded the first oh, 5-6 responders.

I agree and saw no regret-just said there 'might be'-generalized.
And maybe that's what's been getting everyone in a tither-he's actually defending his trickery! I also am of the opinion that it was done with an underlying thought that this girl would be too stupid to realize the trick, which really bothers me, more than the action itself. It's just so disrespectful....and I'd rather give her the benefit of the doubt and say she saw right through it and played it back, in which case, it was he who failed his own 'test'.
