There was the one at the room party who had that poor girl trapped on the couch. Then after she left, he latched onto me.
There was the dude who interrupted the Geek Dating panel by coming into the room and shouting, "It's all about the clitoris!" After he left, Allegra and her other panelists basically said, "See that? Don't be that guy." That was on Friday night.
Clitoris-man came back on Saturday night and made a nuisance of himself in the Barfly suite, until they kicked him out.
My friend Cherie, who was dressed as a Ghostbuster for most of that Stellarcon--e.g., she was in a baggy jumpsuit (not that any of this would've been appropriate no matter how she was dressed), was accosted so many times over the course of the weekend that she finally asked her fellow Ghostbusters pals to come pull her away if they saw a guy they didn't recognize talking to her, because it was inevitably someone being not just clueless, but clueless and creepy.
I don't know what it was about this particular con this year, but it pushed a lot of us over the edge and we started the Nerdiquette 101 thing. Another friend says we're just shouting into the wind with it, but we have to try.
