What's the big deal here? It sounds like the sort of thing that always goes on at cons -- groping and in-jokes.

Not *exactly* on the same topic, I really don't get people who hate to be touched. I'm not really comfortable around them, because it's like, you know. I might accidentally touch them and then they'll shatter like an eggshell or something. It's sort of like a passive aggressive be-damaged aura they're constantly running. They're a trap.
