Aye, I too have thick skin but DETEST dishonesty in those I have started to trust.


Might as well lock this thread-


Now I am really taking a break.

"I've had loads of women friends in real life over the last 30 years, but I've seemingly had more crushes on Internet persona's [one] then I've ever had in real life. Probably not as bad as real life crushes, but it still happens.

All seems odd to me."

Ah but isn't that because it's *safer* than the real thing?
But of course, when one takes it "too seriously" (as you put it) that;s when it gets a bit complicated and maybe painful when it all goes tits up?

Well, since I'm being publicly attacked about a private matter...

Your inability to understand or persistent unwillingness to accept my reasons does not make them untrue or dishonest, and your lengthy, elaborate email accusations to this effect and weeks of public obsession and moping do not encourage me to respond. Instead they are offensive, and cast in a harsh light your own selfishness and specious pretense of intelligence.

Let me (once again) "say what [I] mean" using the simplest, most "straightforward" terms so there is no misunderstanding or further accusation of dishonesty. I have no interest in briefly meeting/playing around with/having a laugh with people who live in other countries. That is not why I'm here. There is too much temptation to do something I'll later regret while no potential for a tangible relationship. If you truly feel this is unfounded, unreasonable, "unacceptable" or dishonest, please take RocketGirl's advice and simply accept me as yet another jackass male who is the real cause of your loneliness, and be glad that you'll never have to suffer me in person.

To prevent future misunderstandings or apparent dishonesty, I have changed my profile description to clarify, explicitly, this preference.

I never called you a jackass male - I simply suggested musegirl forgive, forget and move on. I wasn't intending to get caught up in the middle of something private - I was just trying to be nice to a fellow member who was obviously upset.
Having read your response doctorfaust, hopefully musegirl will too - I have no further comments to make.

Ok thats enough of that! i'm locking this post

Not only has it gone wildly off topic but the airing of dirty laundry in public does no good for the boards....

What goes on in private messages should stay in private

Public attacks of any kind are not allowed and i'm rather surprised its gone on so long I would like to add that if a guy had 'attacked' a female 'like that' for turning him down on a date it would not of been accepted/tolerated at all!
