No it wasn't.
Some of the posters were thinking the no kissing thing was cool or extreme.
Shomer nagia is a observance amongst some Jewish peoples that is along the same lines as the article.
(Is it OK, if I say that?)
Sure. Since you only stated “Shomer nagia” in your first post, I went with the assumption that you were asserting that was the reason for their decision.
My apologies as my assumption appears to have been erroneous.
