I can understand that. Other people are going to think what they're going to think, but again, I bet as more time goes by, less and less people will think harshly about you because of it.

What I meant when you said that is, you'll have lots of situations as time moves forward where you'll figure stuff out so that you know how to act when something similar comes up. In other words, mistakes can be good things, and the lesson you learn can be a reason to forgive yourself. For example, "If this had never happened, I never would have known, so it's a good thing it happened, I was able to get something positive out of it."

If that makes any sense.

Also I'm not entirely sure what the Forbidden Comment Thread is...could you explain?
