gossip is ugly
thats why its generally done in private
these 2 members being discussed have been at CS a long time
have been seriously involved w/ each other for a long time
and have visited and spent some real time together
as in weeks at a time-many weeks
i think the choices they make to conduct whatever part of it
on forum is their business and choice
but it sure is discouraging to see someone who has never
come to know them disparage them or voice any opinion at all.
its not like this is 2 people chatted for 3 wks and moved in or declared undying love.
they have put in the time and im sure there is pain at this point
ive no idea what is going on with them at the moment
but i dont think anyone has a right to an opinion in public
we get what we give into the world-i would find this hurtful
and i know people say 'well dont post it if you dont want any response'-but arent we mature enuf to choose rather
than just tap the keyboard in response to posts?
compassion might be the order of the day rather than opinion?
or maybe just silence?
these are genuinely nice people w/ a genuine consummated relationship, and it deserves the amount of respect any of us might hope for.
