Sidhekin:
From the top of my head: If they were real, Faye, Hanners, Steve, Clinton, and Emily would each set off plenty warning bells. Even Marten has done worse than Dale, in my book. Of course, Marten's the protagonist. We don't know what role Dale yet has to play. Hence, speculation ...
Neko_Ali:
Y'see, I feel uncomfortable when people go 'Oh, it's just a comic, and the writer wouldn't really go there, so it's okay character X is a creepy stalker'. I've also heard that same excuse used when dumping abuse on characters because they belong to a minority, then going 'Oh that's okay, they're just fictional, so they're not really hurt by it'. Well, what about those people reading this who have been though that sort of situation? What about the people reading this who think that the way characters or people on forums respond to them act as supporting that sort of possibly dangerous or hurtful behavior?
When Clinton acted all creepy towards Hannelore, the other characters tied him up. When Dale acts creepy towards Marigold, people say 'aw, he's flirting with you'. Yeah, maybe Dale is completely innocent here, but someone needs to take him aside and say "dude. You're acting like a creep. Knock it off."

Now it makes sense:
Marten is Shinji, Faye is Asuka, Dora is Rei, Pintsize is PenPen.....and I've run out of ideas.
Soulsynger:
Hey chumps and chumpettes!
I'm back from Italy, just caught up on the comic and am really glad I didn't miss too much.
(Although I am a little pissed I didn't get to make a timely reaction joke to the ballfart-bit.)
@Neko_All:
I don't think anyone can tell fictional people how to judge a situation or a character.
And taking a photo without permission and later inappropriately breaking through the personal space of someone - even in my observation - seems WAY worse than saying some playful nothings about a videogame and disappearing again shortly thereafter.
He's basically a kind of correspondence chess foe. °O
Nepiophage:
If shipping is prohibited, i don't see why "unshipping" (which is what a lot of people have been doing vis-a-vis Dale and Marigold) should be allowed?
