I initially read the 5th panel that Elliot doesn't know where he stands with Clinton, and that he necessarily wasn't even thinking about Brun at that moment (or he was thinking both), and then Clinton in 6th panel sounds like he completely forgot that they even had that conversation. "Now you got your answer" isn't even correct. Elliot still doesn't know what the person he actually himself asked thinks.

True, but as a rule I'm a lot more lenient towards people who seem to be suffering from a bad case of foot down their throat.
Farideh:
I'm willing to give Clinton some leeway due to the tricky situation he's in (2 potential love interests, coming to terms with his sexual orientation, finding out that one of his love interests wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole), but he has made some bad choices here, and I hope he apologizes to Elliot when he sobers up.

Of course it's still a stupid thing to do but I'm not reading any malice into it. I'd actually take him at face value with his explanation of 'well, too bad but at least now you know.'

I didn't read that post as implying otherwise.

I think the three of us are essentially in agreement; consider Thrillho's phrase contrapositively: hurting other's doesn't imply malice. Of course, I consider others' intentions magic: what I'll never experience, with putative effects, based on traditions of local historical importance.
