It has been brought to my attention that in PMs to various friends of mine some people are expressing concern about flirtation on this thread.

This is the Let's Talk About Our Feelings Thread.

So I will talk about my feelings.

Sometimes I Feel flirtatious. So I talk about it on the Feelings thread. That seems to be where it belongs.

This thread is NOT titled the "Let's Talk about World Problems like Global Warming or Overpopulation." It is NOT titled "Is Objectivism the best philosophy?" It is NOT titled "The Star Trek Debate, which Captain is Better" thread.

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy some of those discussions, and ignore the ones I don't enjoy (like Kirk/Picard, which I find totally boring, but I just exercise my right to click the Next button.)

I am basically a libertarian and don't want to censor anybody here unless they violate the Terms of Use.

BUT, this IS the FEELINGS thread. Flirtation is a feeling. There are ladies here, and gentlemen here, and ladies and gentlemen do flirt from time to time. Those of you who are neither may not understand this, but we who are do. It is perfectly appropriate to this thread. If you don't like it, fine, exercise your prerogative of using the Next button the same way I do when you talk about things I don't like (as long as you don't address your messages to me, in which case I have the complete right to reply to them). But quit whining about people who are using the Feelings thread to talk about Feelings.

Thank you. End of tirade. I will now return to being my cuddly, lovable self.
