Is it cold in here?:
Because it hasn't offended anybody?

One of several good ways to look at creepy behavior is the impact it has. Deliberately causing alarm is worse than cluelessly causing alarm. Not causing alarm at all is still creepy but less damaging.
Hannelore was alarmed, Marigold wasn't.

The rules on shipping are not intended to prevent discussion of what is actually happening in the comic; they are to ensure that speculation stays within the bounds of what can reasonably be predicted from what is known. Non-canonical pairings (especially those in which the shipper is one of the pair!) are therefore in general not acceptable.

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."

Maybe the solution to this inexplicable conundrum is that no-one thinks he's acting creepy except for people on the forums.
Mr_Rose:
I have no frame of reference in which emerging from an alleyway to accost someone you've met maybe twice and never socially in order to deliver vague and half-formed threats/entreaties before attempting to disappear once more into the night is not creepy. Even if you don't stick the landing.

Oh please, you expect me to trust the judgment of the people in the comic? They're all messed up.
