Spin it however you like. You made a commitment multiple times and backed out on it multiple times costing Searles over $300. All I see is excuses in this paragraph above much like I've been accused of here.
Scamming is scamming. Pay the $300.

Show me a text where I "100 percent promised him he had a room". There's a big difference in saying I'll see what I can do and there is a reservation in your name. And if he was stupid enough to fly here without ever seeing a reservation confirmation then he is stupider than I thought.
I don't feel like a data dump, but are you really denying guy committed to this?
It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?
