The difference between them and TWS is that once they find out its not a good fit (no pun in relation to the dating part), they move on and don't dedicate they life to making the first crush out to be nothing than a common @#%$# (fill in apprioate term). TWS lost faith in his teacher/SD because they didn't back him up when he issued a challenge and got defeated (I think, been a while since I re-visited the TWS saga). To be perfectly honest, if I had a student on here, talking smack and doing what he did, I would have asked him to stop or leave. Thats not what I would want a student of mine doing.
