Apologies once again for such a long absence, but this time I have a real excuse: I’ve been trying to fend off an attack from the Singapore Government! I know it’s sounds unbelievable, but I can think of no other explanation that fits the facts. Here’s a link for those who are interested:

Sorry for the distraction, but what with talking to my ISP, broadband company, mail service, the terrorist police, our High Commission in Singapore, The Economist office and their Far East editor in London ... it has all been rather exhausting.

I will now bow to pressure, and start up a new thread somewhere else, but first I will finish replying to everyone here:

Mr. Dolphin: You suggest I should start a new thread in ‘Consciousness’, but that sounds rather esoteric to me. I think I’ll just put it under ‘General Chat’. You are quite right, as you said privately, that religion has to be accounted for, when any moral issue is discussed. I hope this does not offend you, but, as an atheist evangelist, I have started attending a local Church of England church, and am attempting to convert them all to worshipping men instead! None has been entirely persuaded yet, but they have warmly invited me back, and I actively enjoy the experience.


Mr. Adam: I’d better do as I am told and go elsewhere. I am delighted that you find our discussion fascinating, and hope you will follow us to the new location.


Mr. Dolphin: I am honoured you call me adult. I haven’t been one for most of my life -- quite a playboy in fact, in my own way -- but I believe I am just about getting there now. As you imply, keeping your sexual lust under control as an adult truly is a great challenge. It can never disappear -- and it would be a disaster if it did, since it is the basis of flirting -- but rarely if ever must it manifest itself in an overt act. A perpetual conundrum, to be played out anew every day.


Mr. Tom: I am not entirely sure what you mean by ‘game’. If you mean I am not having sexual intercourse with anyone, then it is true; but I am meeting two young ladies, on and off, and flirting to a very modest degree with strange girls I encounter every day. That is quite sufficient for me, at the moment -- it is already making me feel quite young again. As I say above, I will start a new thread elsewhere.


Mr. JJ Smooth: I know it seems crazy of me to persist with my ex-wife. Most people give me the same advice as you do: move on, get a life, plenty more fish in the sea, stop being so boring ... but that would be admitting failure, and that sets a very bad example for my children. I have therefore decided to soldier on for the foreseeable future.


Mr. Shark: I am moving on right after this. As per above, please forgive me for ignoring your advice, but I am going to remain faithful to my ex-wife awhile longer. I like your sign-off line, by the way -- though the last bit’s a little irresponsible for a married man.

Mr. Shark, it really isn’t very good manners to swear in a public forum, so please would you tone down your language? I know people have got used to it here, but that does not make it right.
=====================


Right, I will now set up a new thread. I have decided to post it in the ‘PUA General Chat’ Forum, and I will call it:

Men -- start talking like men, again.
