On the one hand, I guess I really misjudged people here, and then again it appears I was spot on all along.

Hi Apple,

I will speak honestly here. I did send Jon private messages after he contacted me privately about his situation. After several messages, where I stressed Jon’s past statements of love and concern for his partner, I gauged that I could say what I wanted to say without fear for the safety of his partner Chris. When dealing in cyberspace, we are dealing with possible problems that are much worse situations than the masturbation that Dana mentioned. There is the possibility of homosexual panic and violence. I believe in situational ethics, where the situation helps inform what is ethical behavior under the circumstances. If you see me as a dishonest gossip, then I guess that there is not much I can do to change your opinion of me.

Oh no. Not you too. No I don't see you as a dishonest gossip. In fact, I think you must have gotten my share of "social talent", along with many other people's as well. I see you as very socially adept.

No worries I hope.

I have come to the inescapable conclusion that I am so lacking in such that I must get out of here and stay out before I start or riot or something.

Really very sorry. I should make that my siggy, but I believe that what is there now is more important.
