You _never_ have to spend time in a flame war.  In fact, you never have
to communicate in any way you don't want to on the net.  You can skip
articles, delete mail, read it and ignore it, anything you want.  I like

This happens at most places where sexual activity sometimes
occurs or sometimes gets negotiated - like bars, beaches, and so on. One
thing I like about cons is that there seem to be more people at cons who
are willing to engage in physical contact that does not necessarily lead to
something sexual.

morals are bulls**t. (can't curse on the net anymore..:(
There are two personal right/wrong systems- morals and ethics.
Morals are those that are dictated to you by society, government, religion.

Ethics, on the other hand, are those right/wrong systems that one sets up
inside and for oneself. 

The point being that it was society and their 'morals' that dictate that
'not being in a relationship is bad'- then those same self-serving morals
come back and say that "...how people can use other people like that?!!"
is immoral.

Hey, just because it d`Gp?~joesn't fit your mold of a 'nice' system, do
mean that it fits everyones model.
