Alex

@rbhoopathi04
I'm really sorry, but I'm confused.

I don't recall being in TPR chat recently besides occasionally appearing to cheer my teammates up. What happened exactly? I have a bad memory so I probably forgot.

Also, Alex is a nickname for the creeps, ironic because all the people I know that are actually named Alex are awesome people. I actually chose it because it had the least amount of similarity to any of these people's real usernames and names and would thus keep them anonymous.

About your team: I'm sure your team is awesome! Don't let anyone pull you down.

Reading your blog and the following comments was time well spent. Thank you for sharing. I keep hoping, perhaps naively, that the people who harass others (in any way) will go crawl under a rock somewhere...well, I believe responding to sexual harassment in the firm, but civil, way you did was the right thing to do.

I am really saddened to read such kind of words, I am just a kid of 13 years, seeing such kind of words disgust me. Even though I am a guy I don't like such stuff, if a female is not ready to be with you, you have to just leave the matter there. I convey my condolences to @greenteakitten

It may well be a matter of ego, and not so much attraction
Even " letting them down gently" doesnt seem to have much of an effect on that sadly.
Maybe it even makes it worse ?!

Having read through the post, i

am on your side, and
couldn't help but notice that of the 6 people you shared your experiences with (presumably excluding Alex), 2 also sided with you but the other 5 didn't. Such obvious untruths hurt credibility, regardless of whether they stem from error.

Not having read any of the discussion here, i apologise if this has been pointed out and rejected for whatever reason.

Thank you for pointing out the discrepancy! I reread through the thing - and what I was trying to say was that of those five, four were actually just more of Alex. The reason they add up to seven is because one changed their mind after seeing more evidence. (The Alex that time had quite a good reputation, and so I was not immediately believed, which I understand.)

It was very poor wording on my part - I will change it now :)

I am so sorry, I just saw this! (Haven't been keeping up with this thing)

You are right - the majority of them seem to see it as more of a trophy hunting game than actual love - and yes, anything less than a very firm "no" doesn't work - they take the word no as a challenge...
