It is a pet peeve of mine when people air private business publically when they break up or have a falling out with someone they dated or were romantically interested in. So I will suggest:

1. don't use their name or other identifiers when talking about them - you wouldn't want this about yourself

2. for that matter, don't talk about them publically - it is undignified, immature, and reflects more on your character than theirs.

3. your perspective is jaded if your feelings are hurt - once you are over them, you may regret your words and have caused irreversible damage to their and your reputations.

I'm all for breakup sex. Give the fingers something else to do besides air dirty laundry with a keyboard...
And for something completely different but funny

I like your solution, and I agree, 'once more for old times sake' sex is good too.
And I enjoyed the cartoon!
