No bro, the idea that you wouldn't 'know what to do' when someone has just told you that their mother had died is pretty revealing. I'll give you a hint as to what you should've done if you had an once of empathy in you. You say, 'hey sorry dude, I know we've had our differences in the past but that really sucks. Hope you're doing OK.'
But you couldn't do that Dave could you? Instead you were so confused you put me on ignore (ummm why????) and let me have a 'zinger.' Yeah feel free to have the last reply, I'm done with you, everyone can follow this thread and make their own minds up.
Good luck with your life Dave.
Why did I put you on ignore? Because you acted like you were being bothered. I didn't feel confused at all. That's your word. I guess you're going to force me to quote your post.
Yeah my mum passed away from cancer about a week ago so apologies if I haven't been on this site as often as you'd like.
"apologies if I haven't been on this site as often as you'd like."
Sorry I bothered you by @'ing you and asking your opinion on some board drama that I think is funny. I was just stirring the pot and enjoying the drama. On the first part of that sentence, everything up to "apologies," my reply is , 'sorry for your loss."
For the part about the apologies, my response is that "from my twisted paranoid prism of hate and bitterness this seems to be a pretty transparent attempt to make me feel some kind of way," or to put it briefly, "hey you got in a zinger and I can't reply to it without being an asshole," and so composing a reply that encompassed both of those things, while not confusing, did in the end make me feel that simply ignoring you would be best.
That didn't work for you though and you came back with this.
Hey bro are you gonna @ me this week if I don’t post up often enough for your liking? Just checking in advance as I didn’t hear back from you after my last reply.
I guess you thought that it was worth a repeat.
If the first post is open to interpretation the second one makes it pretty clear. Then when I call it a zinger, all of a sudden you're furious, because it's true. I'm sorry. I told you to leave it alone.
Much as I usually enjoy arguing I am not trying to make you feel worse or look bad but at the same time I won't accept you doing that to me. (I can do that on my own, thank you.)
So, anyway, you're furious and you give your real opinion of me, which you should have done a long time ago. I don't agree with it, but I respect your right to believe whatever and to say it.
You should have stuck with "f*** yourself," in my opinion. It was a lot stronger and no one would blame you for it. This other stuff is boring and clearly dishonest. You were trying to come across as legitimately misunderstood and offended at the suggestion that you used a cheap tactic, but now you're spinning out, trying one after another.
