Should he have to pay?

So, on another website, someone I will call Paul thought a guy someone I will name Richard was a Troll, and Paul said,"Richard, I think you are a Troll. Prove to me in the offline that you are a real person in order to redeem yourself in my eyes and I will give you a $100 Visa gift card. I will pist proof I tried to meet you offline." It just so happened that Paul and Richard lived in adjoining Counties and they agreed to meet at a Chili's restaurant in a few days. Richard said he would be wearing all black. One of the other posters joked something like,"You'll recognize Richard right off the bat. He's Johnny Cash!"LOL. Richard asked what Paul looked like to no avail.

Anyways, the big day came Paul went to Chili's while online the website looking for Richard. Richard online replied,"I am here in the back wearing all black eating ribeye steak and fries." Paul saw a WOMAN in the back eating wearing all black eating ribeye steak and fries. Online, Paul asked Richard,"Are you a man or a woman?" Richard skirted the question being coy about it saying something like,"Go up to the person wearing all black in the back eating ribeye steak and fries to find out!" Richard once again asked what Paul looked like and Paul once again ignored the question. The woman also had a beach bag on her. Paul asked something like,"Richard, do you have any certain bags on you and what type of bag is it? Richard replied something like,"It is a beach bag."

During the meal, a dorky looking guy ordered a ribs and fries meal and he got it and was eating next to the woman. Paul asked if anyone else was sitting by Richard. Richard replied,"Yes, some dorky nerd who looks like he stepped out of Revenge Of The Nerds movie!"

A longwhile later, Richard posted online something like,"Done with the Chili's meal. Going home since I never saw Paul." Paul uploaded a receipt from Chili's that had the time stamp he was there as proof he was there.

Later on, Paul told Richard off online when Richard confessed he was the woman in all black eating steak and fries at Chili's. Paul said,"Richard, all you had to say was,"Yes, I am the woman eating the steak and fries," when I asked",Are you a man or a woman?" And instead you decided to act coy about it."

Richard said his(her)real name was Alicia and she was trying to surprise Paul and admitted it backfired big time on her. She asked,"Do I still get the $100 Visa gift card?" Paul enraged said,"You really don't deserve shait! You had me thinking you were a MAN!"

Other posters chimed in saying,"Paul, you DID say,"Prove to me that you are REAL, and I will give you a $100 Visa gift card. You said NOTHING about gender so pay the woman or end up looking like a Welcher who doesn't keep his word!" Paul shot back,"I told who I thought was a MAN named RICHARD I would pay him a $100 Visa gift card! Richard didn't show up! A WOMAN named ALICIA showed up! There is NO way I should have to pay her deceiving ass! I thought I was being set up!"

The other posters pointef out,"The very REAL PERSON posting under the Richard username showed up, so give her the $100 card!" It was becoming a real warzone, and Paul began throwing nasty insults to Alicia saying something like,"Alicia looked like she was 40-55 and looked like she was from another country. I didn't want to talk to her Other members were offended and said,"Paul, you didn't want to talk to Alicia because she looked like she was from another country? Is your birthname Donald Trump by any chance?"

Alicia replied something like,"I am 28 and most people tell me I look YOUNGER and I was born and raised in The USA!"

Two MODERATORS soon became involved. One Moderator said,"I'm kind of with Paul on this. I wouldn't have walked up to a WOMAN either if I were looking for a MAN! The other Moderator said,"I'm kind of on Alicia's side. I mean she DID ask him twice what he looked like and he ignored her. She most likely would have said,"Hi!" If she knew what he looked like!" Plus, he did say,"Real person!"

One of the Moderators said that they would mediate between Paul and Alicia in private to discuss a settlement of the $100 Visa gift card that Alicia and Paul could BOTH be happy with. Alicia and Paul agreed to let the moderator mediate for them.

So, do you think Paul should have to pay Alicia? :/
