The thing about these threads is that you really have to have been in court and have heard the evidence to know why a sentence was or wasn't appropriate. Also, judges and juries usually operate within sentencing rules which take account of various factors....that doesn't stop the occasional weird ruling...but when we weren't there we don't really know what was the right thing to do.
Hi Scott, I think you learn quite a lot about people....you learn about their thought processes and their interests and sometimes you think someone is cool and they let you down by some reactionary remark. Contrarywise you might not have noticed, really noticed someone, and they suddenly say something that inspires. Worst case, there are far more interesting entertaining and genuinely nice people here than there are idiots or obnoxious types. As someone else says in this thread...it is worth a small investment of time on the chance you might bump into that right person

When things go wrong and will not come right, Though you do the best you can, When life looks black as the hour of night - A DANCING BANANA IS YOUR ONLY MAN.
When money's tight and hard to get And your horse has also ran, When all you have is a heap of debt - A DANCING BANANA IS YOUR ONLY MAN.
When health is bad and your heart feels strange, And your face is pale and wan, When doctors say you need a change, A DANCING BANANA IS YOUR ONLY MAN.
When food is scarce and your larder bare And no rashers grease your pan, When hunger grows as your meals are rare - A DANCING BANANA IS YOUR ONLY MAN.
In time of trouble and lousey strife, You have still got a darlint plan You still can turn to a brighter life - A DANCING BANANA IS YOUR ONLY MAN.
So folks....if you are fed up....come here and dance some bananas...it is cheap, cheerful and full of potassium
I don't think it is necessarily fear of rejection....I assume most or all of us have had that happen to us in some way. But because of that we tend to be cautious about relationships...especially ones that we think might be important and sometimes we may end up playing it a little too slowly for fear of being thought pushy.
I don't think this is a real dilemma. Just see who you want to see and don't burn either bridge just yet. You may be premature with the new man and you also don't want to make decisions about your life based on the illness of another. You are not at the stage of leading anybody on (in my humble view) and if you behave ethically and hold your head high...things will resolve themselves at some level for you...and probably quite soon.
Also...don't dare remove your profile...good word associators are hard to find!!
