I'm sure you already know this, but friendship is mutual. He can ask to be your friend or have a parental relationship with you, but if you refuse, he must respect that. The LC forces us to be "brothers" and "sisters" with people who hurt us, so I would think in this forum people would want to stay away from forcing unwanted friendship/parental feelings on others. As for love, to quote from StG's favorite book, we have 1 Corinthians 13:4-7:
"4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

Does this sound like StG to you? Not to me. Or does it sound like jigsaw, who claimed to love me in between his avalanches of word vomit below? Nope, I don't think it does. Have we received patience and kindness on this forum? Yes, from certain people. From others, we have received boasting, pride, dishonor, quick anger, grudges (records of wrongs, even when they weren't wrongs in the first place) and the effects of self-seeking.

Have we been protected, trusted, preserved?
