"And lo, is was good!"
Verily, in gratitude for Its most puissant aid in vanquishing the hated Math Final, I did sacrifice a dollar and fifty cents worth of pennies to the Black Hole God. And it was Good. _Real_ good.
I wonder, would I be as annoyed at a teacher for flirting with a student, if the student in question _wasn't_ one that I, personally, was in lust with? I'd like to think so, but I can't be sure. On further observation, it would seem I was too hasty in assuming intentions vile, I think the teacher in question is just a touchy-feely type who treats all his students the same, which is somewhat of a relief; It's horrible and wrong for a girl to be hit on by a guy twice her age, when there's a someone only 1.4 times her age available.
On a serious note, while my own personal post-traumatic stress doesn't include violent responses to casual contact, there are enough people whose trauma did have that side effect, to say nothing of all those perfectly sane folk who simply don't like it, to make me leery of it. Yessirree, the Army taught me that touching strangers without permission can be dangerous. :-/
