I've been following this, and the other, thread, for a few days. With all the violence in today's society, it seems odd that two people should have to beg forgiveness for professing their love for one another.

Are there a few variables that would have made the first thread "OK," by Mudcat Cafe standards? If it had been written in lower case letters, instead of all in capital letters, would that have been deemed acceptable? If SandyToes had joined up with membership, before the fact, instead of after the fact, would that have been deemed acceptable?

I read with wonderment the clash of different personalities on this website. There must be a set of rules, somewhere, telling new members what may and what may not be discussed or written on this very public forum, eh?

But it is very nice that you all are such a forgiving group. It's important to know that, should I ever transgress against the "rules."
