Flirting: how much is too much?

Today came across an article online, written by Sumiko from SPH on the aspects on how flirting is dangerous. (http://www.divaasia.com/article/5437)

Flirting, how much is too much? I often wonder. Especially so with all the e-drama in HS5 recently, (I won't mention names) there's a girl in-game who got cuss-ed and swear-ed at with vulgarities by some guys and girls. I don't know the actual degree behind how bad the mistake was that she committed, but I think it definitely does not deserve such public embarrassment. (C'mon nobody does.)

But again, this is a very subjective topic, depending on each individual. I would like to bring your attention to 2 paragraphs in the article:

It's harmless flirting and makes for a bit of silliness. We aren't in the least bit attracted to each other and I'm sure he uses that line on other female customers as a sales ploy. Still, I was flattered by that playful remark. It brightened my day.

Flirtation on this level is just a bit of fun. You would have to be really insecure or a killjoy to be offended by an exchange like this.

and I FULLY agree with this. I guess that girl in guild who took it out on me about teasing someone else is a "bad boy" because he always "flirts", is feeling really insecure. Oh please, ANYone would know I was just joking. The conversation went like this:

Her: What's wrong with flirting? Flirting doesn't mean the person is bad!
Me: I was just joking.
Her: Better be.

Wow, talk about having this elitism-attitude which I absolutely despise. But I will touch on that topic in another post. Ironically, this girl was the same one who after a few days, started to lash out on another girl for being a FLIRT.

Her: You stay away from my hubby you biatch~! Nobody likes you! Nobody likes all your flirtings like you think they do~!

Okay, I was exaggerating the "e-voice" acting. LOL! But isn't that just such a whiner? Goodness, she should just get her act together and stop being someone with double-standed values. 1 day she tells people off for joking "flirts" are "bad" people. And the other she takes it out on this other person who flirts alot with others. This person definitely have some issues.

Of cos, everyone can have different opinions on where they are comfortable with the line being drawn. But trying to enforce your own opinions on others, is where the line is really being crossed, by being a tyrant. And that to me, is something far worse than just a mere flirt.
