Maybe, but I won't concess to the tone argument. When people are saying shit, I don't give a fuck if they use swear words or not.

So, apparently, your definition of casual sex means treating people like throwaway commodities.

Sorry to but in, BUT - Do you think Delilah treated Marten like a throwaway commodity? I think you're looking at the situation with a bit of an extreme point of view.
I thought she was pretty straightforward about the whole thing, she didn't just discard him. She apologized for waking him up, called him cutie, stressed how much fun she had but that ultimately she didn't want to make it into something more. Which is fair enough. She really doesn't owe him anything, does she? Just because they had sex (which Marten initiated with his makeouts flirtation, btw) doesn't mean she has to be a part of his life from that moment on, does it?
Sure, the name forgetting was unfortunate, but it was a wild night and clearly Marten is guilty of the same thing as proven by Cosette.
I sort of agree with greywolfe in that Marten, when you really get down to it, doesn't actually have anything to "complain" or be upset about. He made a pass at a girl he didn't really know. It worked and they had sex and while it was fun she wanted to leave it at that. Oh, and they both forgot each others names. They both had the same amount of input in the way the story turned out, no one was used, everything was made clear at the appropriate time so... what's the big deal?
Schmorgluck:
I'm not saying anyone has been used or any bulldrek like that. What I'm taking issue with is people overinterpreting Marten's actions, blowing small details out of proportion. What the frag, pods?
It's like I'd go and say Marten his a real choom for having forgotten Delilah's name. I personally remember the name of every woman I've had sex with, every woman I've made out with, and even most of the women I should have made out with but didn't because I'm a gonk. But to each his own, chummers. It's not like there were rules about sex and relationships.
LittleKing:
Well, you did sort of imply you thought Delilah was wrong for choosing not to see Marten anymore, when it's perfectly within her rights imo. But I'm sorry if I misread you on that and it's not what you meant.
However, in regards to Martens attitude now (the complaining about the name forgetting to Steve and Cosette), I don't think I'm overinterpreting anything. I simply don't think he has any particular reason to be bummed out by it when he's "guilty" of the same thing and the whole situation was instigated by him in the first place, and that was all I was commenting on ;)
But Marten will be Marten and he's shown that he tends to overanalyze things after they happen, even when there's not much to analyze.

You don't need to concede to the tone argument, you simply need to follow the forum rules and also the directions of the moderators about how to conduct a discussion.
