Seriously. I'm even going to start using the phrase "really thin pancakes" more often, just to stay on the safe side.
It took me awhile to realize you meant "crepe". There is nothing wrong with crepes! It doesn't sound anywhere near the same...
Except now I want crepes.

And now I want them too. Filled with icecream and covered in hot chocolate.

Have been too incredibly swamped at work today to say my piece, but here's my end:
Firstly, yes, I willingly gave him my number, and theoretically I should know better, but I genuinely believed James understood the nature of our info exchange. I at no point during the meetup got any creeper vibes off him at all, in fact I found him just as awesome as everyone else that made it out.
Basically, I began feeling a little bullied and concerned about the aggressiveness of a few of the messages I received. I politely asked him to tone it down, and was met with a half hearted apology followed by an accusatory statement.
After that, I figured the only thing to do after having made my sentiments clear, was to simply ignore the multiple messages a day I was recieving. I definitely did not suggest for him to get banned, I merely felt it was appropriate to alert the mods as to what was going down. Evidently, I'm not the only one who shared a similar experience with him.
Was it the most wildly inappropriate creeping ever? No, definitely not. Past experience has definitely made me skittish to an extent, but I simply couldn't shake the feeling that this whole thing was headed in a bad direction. I don't by any means think he is a bad person, and perhaps he is merely misunderstood, but again, I just felt it wise to nip this in the bud.

Yeah, that would probably help a little bit.
Okay, that's somewhat of a relief. I'm sure I'm not the only one who had a completely different picture painted in their minds about it.
Still a shame nonetheless.

Never mind, then.

That's tricky, part of me feels as though after we've both said our piece, it isnt really anyone's business beyond that. Perhaps it's best to just move on.

Yeah, it's best to move on. I think we know enough already

Thank you.
:O
It was fun at the time but it is quite flawed.
I haven't been able to play all the way through it a second time though. :/

What's done is done. Even from what he know he was acting inappropriate.
Text bombardments from people you barely know never go over that well. Especially when the pretence behind exchanging numbers was to arrange a meeting.
That should be enough.
Fuck FF7 in the ass with Sephiroth's oversized sword

Yeah, let's not talk about this anymore.

Fair enough. I just felt like James didn't actually have a chance to say his piece but, hell, it's really none of my business.
Yeah, same. Didn't mean to invade. Sorry.
Yeah... there are a lot of people clamoring for the logs so I think people really do want to know what happened and don't feel like they got a chance to hear what James had to say. While I understand being uncomfortable about something like this, I do think it would help a lot of people put this whole thing behind them if they didn't feel like there was some big secret they were missing out on.

Logs were posted? What? When? I want logs! I am too curious!
In other news, this is incredible. And yes, I do spend the majority of my time watching people play games. And yes, I do realise how sad that is.

I bought a brand new toaster after an accident with heating up Pop Tarts blew up my old toaster this morning. Don't ask.
My folks yelled at me for buying a protection plan on a toaster, but to my defense, it helps if you use the damn thing every day. For 8.99 for two years, I thought it was a good deal.

Yes and thanks for clarifying. Things were making him look like some kinda monster. I'm sure he feels bad enough about it now that's it's public and hopefully he learns something from it and we all let it be.
So when's the next meet up?
=p
for all those asking for logs n shit trying to figure out what happen isn't it obvious? Someone took a pretty girl being nice the wrong way, when confronted about it he didn't take it well and she bailed. The end.

Can we just drop this please? We've had enough negativity for one day*.
*That's pretty shocking coming from me, isn't it?

Well, I do use it every single day, eventually there's gonna come a time where it'll jam itself repeatedly or the knobs won't work

Well he's banned so his side can't be spoken for anything. Posting personal chat logs in a public forum isn't really his side nor doing him any favors.

lol. i'd just like to read both side's story. that's all.
This.
It's kind of hard to draw a conclusion hearing only half of a story.

I agree but he's not here to share his side is what I'm saying.
I really want to ask. I've heard of exploding Toaster Strudels, but never Pop Tarts.

What's wrong with the letter R? >:C
It depends on where you are
Haha, I ended up doing something similar: Went to the local bookstore and walked around for a bit. No good books, unfortunately

This. Give me an rpg overworld that turns into a 2d fighter during battles. I will pay top dollar for this.

Beef, how did your recording go?
OMG I WANT CREPES
A savory one with lots of cheese and basil to start
Then almond pate and powdered sugar and chocolate and honey and omg
edit: Yeah professor how did your recording go?

So like Heroes of Might and Magic or King's Bounty.
I saw some SFxT footage and omg, Vega looks sexy as fuck. I started blushing for real. A team of Vega and Lee might have burned down households from the hotness, I might settle for Jin if he makes it in.
Hype definitely reignited.
