I'm just feeling so tickled by many of your responses, but I
guess everyone has his or her freedom to post here, so I shan't
comment.
Like anyone else, when encountered with a truly unexpected
situation, anyone would be too shocked and not know what to do. Not
everyone can think on his feet in such situations. Someone gave the
example of a war, and if you are truly clear about what can happen,
many mistakes are made and deaths are caused because of the
unexpected shock encountered - It just takes one soldier to be
shocked, not know what to do, do the first thing that come to mind
(which may not be the right thing) and cause other shocked soldiers
to follow (or to comply).. And that would be it. Officer or man,
alike. In Technomage's situation, he was truly shocked, and did not
know what to do; so he reacted naturally the way he did. It was
only after some thoughts that he felt he would have done this or
that (e.g. wallop him up, etc.)
Secondly, it is also wrong to assume that such situations arise
because "it takes two hands to clap". Yes, it may be true for some
of such situations, but after reading what Technomage posted, I am
ready to conclude that he did not "ask for" this molestation.
Besides, there is no such thing as "gay-look". It could simply
because that guy likes how Technomage, or simply because he likes
Technomage body (sorry, I know this sounds disgusting, but it's a
possibility). All these are not Technomage's fault so rubbing it in
by asking if he had winked, or if he had the gay look does not
necessarily make him feel better, right?
Well, learn from the incident, Technomage.. My words here are not
aimed to make you feel necessarily better, but I hope others could
spare a thought for you by posting more constructive comments (even
though they have the right to lost inconstructive ones).
