Neither the asker nor the responder expounded any ill feelings;
And no ill feelings should be engendered by such points of view.
Having been seared before, by considered “honourable” men,
the asker formed his hearts duty and, to his great honour,
has lived and adhered to that duty, that honour, that decision.

Please do not deride the honour expounded by another;
it may not be in view to thee, but it is such to the proponent.
Allow his questions to be clearly answered without anger;
for in the response, do we not more clearly hear the question?

Let there be an end to this matter;
for there is no cause for consequence
among new, forming and honourable friendships.
