  - Yeah, maybe if you guys spent a bit more time on the movies board, you might understand why Havens didn't exactly welcome him with open arms. - secretslacker Oct 21, 06:06 1
    - Who gives a rat's ass? Haven's entire argument was "Wow, you're trying to suck with news on HSX's status." While Havens! was the last updater on HSX - Will Hunting Oct 21, 06:27

        the guy was talking about me "picking up my check in person from the bank" and that he would "show me around nigeria while I was there". - Stacy Oct 21, 00:02 1
        
        I don't see why him flirting with you would be an enticement. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 21, 05:39
      - you thought it was only moderately dangerous? - chris Oct 20, 23:41 1
