So I guess you didn't see the strip where he found out about Dora and Tai?
Can you honestly tell me he was overjoyed at that revelation?

Well, no, he wasn't, because possibly he was hoping for more, especially since Sam had taken a shine to Faye and was spending more time at CoD. Also, it probably had to hurt that she wasn't ready for something when he asked her but she had sufficiently healed at that point to be with someone.
But that's sort of a moot point now. Jim seems resilient. He and Veronica are well suited. He ain't thinking about Dora now and probably hasn't for a long time.

It is disrespectful to the feelings of the person you're pursuing. You are effectively saying you don't respect their feelings for their partner and are only interested in your own wants.

I disagree. Sven just let her know where he stands. He didn't insist (yet) once she said no. There's no disrespect to the feelings there. Now if he keeps going at it over and over again, then you could claim disrespect, but until that moment happens, Sven will actually BE respecting Faye's feelings/wishes.
--- Quote ---Plus Sven is being hypocritical since he has stated outright that he doesn't intentionally pursue women who are already involved.

Again, context. Those were for one night stands or uninvolved relationships. When it comes to the woman you'd really want to have a serious relationship with, the rules may change.

--- Quote from: Valeyard on 25 Aug 2014, 21:50 ---If Marten would simply get Pintsize's personality reformatted they wouldn't have problems with him incoveniencing them with his perverted antics.
--- End quote ---
He won't do it, and rightfully so : If I am not mistaken, robots, in the QC verse, have rights similar to humans. Sending pintsize to be formatted would be the equivalent of sending people to reformation camps or any other brain-washing organization.
--- End quote ---
They're ROBOTS. Nonliving pieces of inorganic machinery designed and built by humans. They're essentially nothing more than appliances. Property for humans to do with as they will. The notion that robots deserve any sort of "civil rights" is patently absurd.

That doesn't let Dora off the hook for what she did when she did it. She broke his heart. After all, no one is letting Sven off the hook, why should Dora be given a free pass?
