Thank you .
I appreciate anyone who can stay cool in a situation like that and debate actual points respectfully. Even I fail to stay cool at times.
I haven't developed a relationship due to various difficulties that proved to be impossible for both of us to overcome at the time. As a result, the feelings of one who has overcome these hurdles and has succesfully developed a relationship are alien to me, as I have not experienced them. Like an author of, say, an FS2 campaign can make me gain an understanding for what a person feels at a time, I don't feel exactly what the protagonist feels.
However, I do have an understanding of relationships. For many, it is the greatest thing they have ever accomplished, the greatest passion they know. It defines who they are, in a very good way. It's their heart.
That diabolical statement of yours attempted to rip the heart out of half the forum's members and paint it black. I understand that that is not what you intended, however... Had I been part of the group that that statement made such dark accusations about, I would not have stayed so calm. Again, I don't feel what some have felt, but I can comprehend it.
EDIT: slight edits for the sake of softening up the post a bit. I may have been hyperboling for dramatic effect, which is probably unwise.
