Perhaps this will show the thread starter that in life, sometimes a witty put-down is better than a violent reaction.

Exactly. Uber should've called the guy "totally gay" and walked away...

the guy decided not to press charges, on his own (ie i didnt even have to think about counter-charging or anything). i apologized to him, stated that what i had done was completely out of line, that i was just taken completely by suprise, and i reacted without thinking, and again, i was wrong. He said that he was also out of line, and that he was sorry for putting me in that suitation. So, i'm not going to get any criminal charges or anyting like that

very good.

one of the members of the university board, however, appears to want to make an example of me. my school is pretty big on tolerance these days, and this guy wanted to unleash the full force of the new hate crime "laws" at the school. i could have been up for full explusion fromt he school. but he was outvoted (5 people were sitting on the board today, only he voted for expulsion), and all i have to do now is write a formal apology, and deliver it at the beginning of the next "pride alliance" meeting.

so now i have to deal with hundereds of those god damn gays!

... joke ...

well, i got off easy. the guy was real cool about it.

Good news.

Try not to slug anyone after your appology speech.

**Jules** · April 4, 2003, 18:30

Congrats, Uber!

Just don't do it again, ok?

**Boris Godunov** · April 4, 2003, 18:52

Well, guess that settles the question of who was the better man!

**Kramerman** · April 4, 2003, 18:55

thats gay. If someone came on to me, and i made it clear that i wasnt interested, yet they persist, it should be well within my rights to slug the sucka. Its not like it would leave any lasting damge, it would merely make the point very, very clear that im not interested...

i see nothing wrong with this. no means no, if one thinks otherwise, he'll get a black eye, but no real harm done. If this sort of thing was settled this way, there would be no need for 'panels' and 'hearings' and other wasteful bureaucracy that wastes my time and money... oh well. I suppose how things happened in uber's case was 'more civilized'...

I think the sensible thing was done. I'm amazed that a University judiciary could be so reasonable. I mean, imagine not wanting to inflame the situation further....

i think one of the biggest things that weighed in is the fact that the kid didn't want to press charges or make a big deal out of it.

the pride alliance, however, would have me hanged, and i have to present to them

nice one uber

now you can just forget about it and get on with things

I think this speaks volumes for his character. Too many people view this sort of thing as an opportunity for over the top personal revenge.

Congrats. Your nation isn't as ****ed up as I thought, after all. It's always nice to see some justice in the world.

Yes, I've heard of similar cases.

**red_jon** · April 4, 2003, 19:26

C'mon - for some of ya, having someone come onto you is a purely hypothetial situation

[j/k]...

**Chemical Ollie** · April 4, 2003, 19:44

Good for you... Now enter T-shirt Hell and order the "Sorry guys, I eat Pussie " T-shirt and wear it all the time to avoid misunderstandings in the future...

**red_jon** · April 4, 2003, 19:49

I got a t-short with 'sorry girl ... I suck d*ck' (without the '*' of course

)
