I am a moderate reasonable person who tries to avoid the excesses of some of the postings on this forum, but you really go too far.

To try and excuse what HW did on the basis that - as you state -

'there is not a man worthy of the name who has not complimented or made a pass at an attractive woman.'

Is ridiculous. You're saying that a compliment cannot be paid without it being it being an implied - 'please have sex with me' is both wrong and insulting; and suggests to me that your social values are suspect- to say the least.
