Re: Some Stuff About PUA (very long)
Cardo,
I'm weighing the merits of going out on the golf course and snapping a photo up close, or yelling for Amare to get a pic with him maybe holding up a "HI OOT" sign, but we'll be neighbors for awhile, and quite frankly I'm just too lazy to do that right now.

Re: Some Stuff About PUA (very long)
I was going to PM this, but since Cardo's box is full...
I am done! Honestly. And you'll have to believe me when I really did mean no offense by the white text post (or the shock therapy post, which was [censored] funny dammit). I'll close with this. At some point a few months ago, you'd ticked off folks in IRC, you'd ticked me off. You sent me an AIM that said something to the effect of "I don't understand why people don't like me anymore". That really busted me up, and I felt bad for how I'd treated you, and bad for you, because I really felt like you didn't understand. If I could, I would love to be able to help you through whatever you're going though, but you really, really need to think about how you interact with those folks that are trying to help you. There's so much that you do, of which you are simply unaware, that hurts and upsets people when they're trying to be of assistance. It wasn't some arbitrary moment that made me upset with you, it was when you kept attacking my value structure when I made suggestions about things you might do to help yourself. Rather than just disagree, you got insulting. Then, when I attempted to end the repeating dialog, you kept coming back, and the conversations kept ending the same way. At some point, the only way to get you stop bugging me (because "I don't want to talk about this" never worked and GAIM's "block user" function doesn't work for me apparently) was to piss you off to the point where you totally rejected me as somebody worthy of the Cardo aim flood. As much as you might think I've become a hateful piece of [censored], it's because you became terribly disrespectful towards our relationship. Nobody likes talking to a brick wall, especially when that brick wall starts throwing [censored] at you. Regardless, I was slightly [censored] and petty, and I regret that. I think there's value in things I said in that thread, but I could have said them in a nicer way. Anyway, for both of our own good, I'm done in my efforts to help you. I don't have the secret code to crack into your skull and make you listen. Just please consider that you're not going to find many people willing to help you until you find a way to bring down that shield of ego that you're using to protect yourself. Good Luck.

Re: Some Stuff About PUA (very long)
That was a very odd thing to post publicly, but thank you, Dids.
I'm feeling pretty great these days. I just want to think / talk about stuff. That's all. I would also like to say that this whole deal is the gayest [censored] [censored] ever and I am about half sick with humiliation at having been a part of it.
