I have never been on a date with a man I DID NOT KNOW and ended up in his hotel room.

[Claritie Pixie]

I've had plenty of opportunities but decided it would be extremely foolish and I could be putting myself in danger. Even if I wanted to have sex with him.

Alone with a stranger in a hotel room - anything could happen.

1. Not sure what your point is

Are you looking for accolades? A medal?
Or are you acting like Eris and throwing a golden apple?

[Claritie Pixie]

6. Why are you being nasty to me?

[Sanity Claws]

11. I'm not being nasty

If you think I am, feel free to report me.

I am still puzzled by the purpose of your opening message. You never answered my question regarding the its purpose.

14. Sounds to me like that poster was taking a swipe at you

[moriah]

2. Good for YOU!

Now, instead of discussing your dating habits, maybe lets talk more about how males and females interact in the business environment, shall we?

Unless you find the Democratic National Convention to be more like OKCupid than, say, a business convention?

[Claritie Pixie]

4. Ha! Do you think a business conventions compel people to be on their best behavior?

[moriah]

5. It sure ain't a first date. nt

9. I attended the 2004 convention and it was memorable not only for America's introduction to Barack

Obama, but for me and many others it was a 5 day orgy. I've never heard from 2 of the 3 new "friends" I made that week, but I'm pretty sure they knew why they were in my room or me in theirs.

Grow up.

3. Weird flex, but okay.

10. I'm still wanting to hear the answer to this. n/t

12. Do you need to know why wearing jeans doesn't stop rape either? nt

[Bonx]

8. Never wear anything 'sexy' out in public either. You're just ASKING for it dontcha know.

13. Good sensible idea !

15. I'm tired of these strawman threads created to slam Fairfax's accuser

based on premises that do not describe the relationship between teh two.

The accuser became acquainted with Fairfax over the first few days of the convention, and they had mutual friends - just a tad different from "a man I DID NOT KNOW"

16. JFC

17. Would it be any better at your place or his?

You'd be just as alone with him.

But they were not on a date.

18. So I finally read Ms. Tyson's statement, and despite the strange logistics

surrounding how and why certain things were done, I came away believing her version of events. It's still a he say/she say situation, but if true, I can understand why she would want to do everything in her power to keep such a person from becoming governor. Also, when I looked up her name on Twitter, I saw at least half a dozen verified professors/etc. (who have known her for 10 to 20 years) vouching for her character. Has anyone stepped forward to vouch for Fairfax's character yet? So we're left with the choice of believing her, or concluding that she is either incredibly disturbed, delusional, or a vindictive person who is obsessed with revenge to the point of being willing to destroy her own life to get even. I just don't see it.

Now, regarding the point raised in the OP--we live, we learn.

19. People Vouching For Her is No Big Deal

Just because people vouch for a person does not mean that person is good, or honest. There been many instances where people were willing to vouch for a person who was not good, or honest. First, she could have been a different person before her current friends met her. Second, her friends could have seen a different side of her than some other were able to see.
