In my opinion I believe you did the right thing becasue as a female when i scream out stop it means STOP! She probably did not mean it in that certain way but it may have lead to it. Playfighting is not a wrong but make sure you know who you play fighting with because some people take it too far and can injure someone.

Wiley, you took ACTION in a situation which you believed could be dangerous and/or healthy.  Your courage is to ADMIRED. 

I would like everyone to take a moment and imagine yourself in a similar situation,

          Your living on a college campus with 4 or 5 roomates. One of your roomates invites over a large group of friends who are having fun and relaxing.  You suddenly hear the muffled screams and mixed laughter of a girl who repeatedly says, " stop my hair, stop get off, stop come on".  Your roomate is not around to resolve the situation and your faced with a choice. Should i take her screams seriously or should i ignore it and assume their friends because she was laughing? I decided to intervine and caution the friends about their conduct in the house. If the right person would of heard her scream they may have taken it seriously and called the police. That would have atracted unnecessary attention to my aparment building.  People react differently in situations where they feel threatend. Her laughs may have been out of the realization that shes being pinned to the ground by some boy and everyone is just standing around looking at him basically grope her.  I dont know what was going on. But i assumed the worse and just maybe me stepping in and saying something wasnt so bad after all.  At least she stopped screaming. Unfortunely the roomates felt disrespected by me asking them to behave like adults. My intention was not to disrespect them and i promptly apologized. Although no one apologized for the excessive loudness im not a tit for tat person.   Did i do the right thing?
