Maybe it's true, maybe he's butthurt, we don't know. But there are definitely worse ways to take it than whining on an internet forum.

Ah well, I suppose it could be true. I'd just hate for anyone to turn round and say that about me after getting to know me. I felt hurt for her.
I feel hurt for the Op too. It's dissapointing to find out someone you thought was a good soul actually isn't. I've had friends like that who turned out not to be friends. I was thinking about one of those women this morning and decided I should revisit this thread and give the op the benefit of the doubt.
Most of the time my responses favor the OP. The underlying assumption is the OP is being truthful and objective. I understand this doesn't always reflext reality, but I have to go with the information available at the moment. I can always change my position later as more details come out. I prefer only seeing the best of others and not assuming the worst unless forced to do otherwise.
But there are 2 sides to every coin. I noticed this most when I fell out with a roommate. All her friends took her side and thought I was an awful person. All my friends took my side and thought that she was an awful person.
It made me realise that no one really knows anyone. And quite often we put others down for no good reason other than to make ourselves feel more superior.

My reaction may seem harsh but trust me it's justified.

I just go by the side of the coin I can see. FWIW, I agree with you. But that isn't helpful to someone who comes to you with a problem. You go farther with someone the more you assume the best of them. The truth will eventually come out either way, but taking a negative stance against someone from the outset does more damage than staying positive.
There was actually a WP'er I was trying to help until he admitted to forcing his SO. At that point I lost my patience. But what if the opposite were true and I gave the guy a hard time when he'd done nothing wrong? All I lost was my time interacting with the guy. The opposite approach would have made me a bully, and that simply will not do.

Ironic that someone going by the handle "peacesells" has declared war on me. Oh well, HGH (haters gonna hate).
Some more commonly used acros:
GF: girlfriend
BF: boyfriend
SO: significant other
Bonus round, abbreviations and acros commonly seen on WP (Wrong Planet) and elsewhere:
L&D: Love and dating subforum
PPR: Politics, Philosophy, and Religion, known for it's appeal to rationality that makes it the antithesis of L&D.
FWIW: for what it's worth.
Wrt: with regard to
e.g.: exemplar gratis, for example. Used when referring to something in a broad, general way.
i.e.: id est, in other words. More specific, used to clarify the meaning of something.
