Yeah, don't coddle Chris. Barb does enough of that for everyone.
Con rules apply to all attendees. They don't owe Chris a warning any more than other creeps.
Yeah but there is a degree of reasonableness to all enforcement of laws\rules\etc. If you kicked out everyone in there that was cringey\awkward\creepy without giving them a warning you'd probably empty a third of the convention hall. Look at some of those rules and how vague they are- it would be hard to not break one of them. Obviously you don't give someone a second chance if they groped someone- and I mean groped, not hugged too long- but I'm not sure you expect someone like Chris to understand why the real girls (he likes to think of himself as one) can kiss someone on the cheek but he can't. So that's where a warning would be useful and reasonable, if that was indeed all that he was doing.
And a FB message is nothing... which is why I have so much trouble believing that they didn't warn him in person. But, as others have said, it's possible the warning was poorly executed.
