Having your cake and eat it was meant to point out the fact that emotional decisions accept a significant element of compromise, and that's OK as well.

It's a shame that you saw it as a personal attack rather than an attempt to put some lightness into the thread.

Mike C, I think that's totally disengenuous on your part. You were mocking my and other people's posts, with your comments about cake and emotions, and you kept coming back to repeat and redouble your mockery. All the while you had zero substantive to say in response to my posts. That may be funny or provide "lightness" for you or other people, but it's obvious how that is a personal attack. But it's in keeping with your posts above to be disengenuous, because part of what you were doing is pretending that you're above it all, while you are actually the one stirring things up. Most nice people, in your position, realizing they had offended someone else (as if it wasn't obviously part of your point) would appologize. Instead you pretend that it's all just my misperception, so that you can continue to be aloof.
