nobodies defending the guy on the basis of whether he's socially distinguished mentally-challenged, he clearly doesn't have much game or know what he's doing or what's entirely appropriate. The question is whether he deserves to be considered a stalker or not, which is a distinct thing with much, much more serious connotations, and there isn't much actual substance behind the argument that he does.
What description would you use for a guy who sends constant text messages to a girl, some of which are late at night, when it's clear the girl is either not interested or slightly uncomfortable?
The number was given for the strict purpose of coordinated a specific thing (art shit or whatever). We're all adults who have either worked or gone to school with fellow adults. When you get a girl's number for a specific, non-dating/friend reason, do you text her 5-10 times a day or night with random chit chat?
The reason I'm so quick to buy into Nintendoll's story is because this plays into something that's becoming some prevalent: the inability of some
people guys to distinguish the difference between social media and more traditional social etiquette. Every girl who posts on GAF gets quoted a billion times, no matter what she says. Every girl who adds people to twitter gets a billion comments. I feel like many people can differentiate Facebook and not abuse a friend's wall for instance, but some can't/don't.
You wouldn't call a person you don't really know a bunch of times, or constantly text them. If Devo or Cloud or any EB girl happened to give me their number for some reason, I would not feel comfortable texting them all the time unless we became friends. If the majority of your social interaction with girls comes online on message boards, it's not surprising you would view a telephone number as a two person forum with no moderations you can spam
