Sonnschein's Post; THIS IS A FORUM THAT WAS NEEDED. I WOULD LIKE TO POST THE STORY AS IT WAS TOLD TO ME BY SOMEONE IN ACCOUNTING

A mutually agreeable and enjoyable association was carried on for about three years, maybe more, which involved occasional lunch dates, occasional single roses, and email exchanges. One day, she requested that the association be ended. He agreed, and made no further contact. He apologized for any discomfort that he had caused, she accepted, and said she wanted to be friends. Some days later, even though he had demonstrated that he was complying with wishes, she made ex post facto allegations of harassment against him, even though she had promised a long time ago that she never would do this. The company responded with disciplinary action called "corrective". This wasn't corrective; he had already agreed to, and complied with, her request that it be over. The action was clearly punitive, not corrective. There could have been no harassment. The attention which had been welcomed and enjoyed was stopped when it was declared no longer to be welcome, and then there was no further contact at all.
