Well of course you're right,
Mithadan. However, I still think lying even in public conversations regarding private life is lying... but no need to argue about that here.
And personally, I don't think there's anything bad with this thread. I think it's good that
Boro had the chance to correct the wrong image he wanted to correct this easily - surely it would have been quite a work to PM everyone he might have mislead during all these years. I see the case with the "I forgive you"s the same way: I believe that if all people who had dealings with
Boro PMed him just to say it's ok, his inbox would get flooded for weeks.
Of course it's best if the people who know
Boro the best have talked with him via PMs and not expressed their feelings about the issue at lengths here, but I believe/imagine that has happened already.
I think this thread is good, but I agree there has been maybe unnecessairly much elaboration of the issue here (and off-topic posting!). I have a feeling I could say a dozen more things, but I'll PM you instead...
edit: xed (and apparently agreed
) with
Boro himself
