I didn't say they need to "hug it out" but there were plenty of other ways to deal with this creeper than have a bunch of guys beat him up. It's just lame. And not a smart choice given that this Joe guy doesn't seem so stable in the first place.Beckynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716464676430798966.post-49092110598633195312011-02-03T05:34:35.395-05:002011-02-03T05:34:35.395-05:00I'm sorry, but I agree with the last two comme...I'm sorry, but I agree with the last two commenters. When you said you might call in Josh as a reinforcement, I thought you meant just to show Joe that you're in a committed relationship with someone who cares about you, and to add some macho guy-talk to the conversation. A show of power/control is very different from actually exerting force. Until you see exactly how Joe reacts to this, make sure not to leave yourself in any alone or vulnerable positions in or around campus!Alishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14704805929862792884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716464676430798966.post-31911032919656602852011-02-02T23:37:55.752-05:002011-02-02T23:37:55.752-05:00I cringed a bit when I read this.

Did they actually push him or hit him?<br /><br />Mainly, I fear that now Joe has grounds to take this issues up with school administration. (or worse, escalate the violence if he's so unstable) From his perspective, if he didn't believe he was harrassing you and you never went to administration to file a compaint, it certainly makes you look like the aggressor. Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716464676430798966.post-55621982251330726352011-02-02T15:59:14.622-05:002011-02-02T15:59:14.622-05:00Anon, it's new york city - of COURSE he has ac...Anon, it's new york city - of COURSE he has access to a gun! everyone who lives there has access to buying a gun. <br /><br />becky some people respond better to force than to words. maybe you come from a prissy land where people use "I" statements to talk about their problems before hugging it out. but sam comes from the projects where people routinely get jumped. nobody beat joe up. maybe this is what he needed to realize sam was serious when she told him she wanted to be left alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716464676430798966.post-65902026302351634112011-02-02T15:05:01.640-05:002011-02-02T15:05:01.640-05:00Yikes!!
