It's a real bummer it was in the 17+ section...I dunno if I would have bitched or not, because I can empathize with both sides on this issue.
I understand you want to share your happiness, and I know you think you might be informing that "there is hope in love lives," but unless you're directly solving their problems, you're not really going to help the lovesick. In fact, it really just comes off as boasting, no matter what your intention. It's something they don't have...something I don't have, which is why I can identify with them.
But, I was outwardly happy once upon a time. I liked to shout that I was happy, no matter who could hear, and I remember not caring about the effects it had on others, putting it on them to deal with it. To Opu, Synith, and whoever else attacked Ex for sharing/boasting, it really is unfair that you ask Ex to bottle such happiness, bringing him down in the process. He's got a lot of good things going for him, and it's damn hard to keep that inside, akin to how it might be to keep your bad feelings inside. Just let him be, and move on.
I don't know if anyone suggested this to you, Ex, but it might be wise to use the blogs for that sort of thread. I always treated my expressions of happiness as something outwardly radiant, not something to respond to. If you really did want it responded to, the thread idea was fine, but keep in mind people will read it however they want, and they won't all be happy. That's what a thread is for. I don't know if you've started using blogs since then; I don't really pay attention to any blog beside my own. Call me selfish.
Anyway, there's my worthless mediation of the night. Ignore it, like I know you will.
