History Will Justify Me

[aggienaut]

   As regards getting beat to crap, and a reference I had made to being happy that someone took care of me afterwords; a certain someone took that to imply I was saying that I didn't think anyone would have cared about me except the person who did.. or something. What the point of this was and how it could be so significant I don't really understand.. I think their point was that I should have realized people cared about me even if the other person hadn't taken care of me... but that certainly doesn't change the fact that they DID and if they hadn't then all the good thoughts of everyone would still have left me alone and not very happy.

   So not really understanding why this person was so interested in the finer points of me appreciating having someone there, and came up with the following response:

[20:00:42] Snail of DEATH: if I was around YOU and got beat to crap and was like
[20:00:55] Snail of DEATH: "omg [NAME WITHHELD]!!" you'd be like "you are such weak sauce kris"
[20:01:14] [NAME WITHHELD]: i can't believe you
[20:01:18] [NAME WITHHELD]: you deserve this
[20:01:23] [NAME WITHHELD]: i don't care if you get mad
[20:01:28] [NAME WITHHELD]: you deserve this like a mo fo
[20:02:03] Snail of DEATH: deserve what??

   They proceeded to block me. How my comment could have been construed as so offensive is beyond me. On any account, I believe I have been extremely clear that blocking me will result in my refusal to communicate with the perpetuator for a significant amount of time.
   In this incident, I declared a minimum three days of silence to demonstrate the severity with which I take blockings, a ridiculously small amount of time in my opinion, considering that this person is on their third such incident and clearly do not take it seriously. Yesterday talking to them on the phone, as three days had passed, they maintained that I entirely deserved the blocking and was a jerk.
   Considering that I have been absolutely clear that blocking would result in my silence, I believe any responsibility for bringing it on would fall on the person who knowingly brought it on. It is out of my control. For my part I imposed a ridiculously small demonstration of silence.

   Anyway, my purpose in making a post about this, is that I think the claim that I "deserved it" from my comments is rather ridiculous; as I cannot see whats so offensive about what I had said. And so I want other opinions since I clearly must be missing something. As to the quoted conversation, was what I said significantly offensive??

kris, you're being an asshole. Your comment obviously made her feel like you were accusing her that she wasn't really your friend. Furthermore, your posting this in public is VERY weaksauce- as it's no one's business. You're being juvenille. End of story. You BOTH need to let this go.

you implied that she doesn't care about you, when you know she does. i can understand why she would be offended by that. What i don't understand is why you think blocking is such a big offense that it requires consequences. if someone blocks you, they are obviously upset with you and would rather not speak to you for.... however long they'd rather not speak with you.

There are no names attached; I'm not publicly deriding this person.

The only purpose of this post is to have a formal investigation as to how offensive my original statement was. please stay on the subject.

kris I am on subject. My opinion is that you're being way juvenile. When both Diane and I agree on something, you should take a step back and think about it.

the subject

No really, thats not the subject. Everyone should know that that is how I will respond to that situation. Its similar to how I announced that I will not needlessly get involved in arguments on my friends behalves so if one thinks thats lame of me they may as well start thinking so now rather than later. If I am juvenile because of my policies on this subject than I always have been, always will be, and pointing it out to me is pointless and.. juvenile.

Its like... accusing me of being lame for not smoking on one specific occasion even though you were well aware I never smoke.. assuming you thought smoking was cool. The point though is that my condition and policies have not changed and should have always been apparent; and you having a sudden revelation on the subject is incredibly silly to say the least, and DEFINITELY not the subject here.

unless she just got pissed & got offline, thus the equivalent of simply ending the conversation, not blocking per se.
