I know I said I wouldn't reply again, but this is the crux of the whole argument, so I can finally address it with one point.

The ignoring thing had been going on for a while. I offered to help him several times, and his ignoring me felt like a big flip off (or middle finger or whatever the equivalent is here). The day on which i blocked him, in the picture he shows, there was a huge delay between the "Hm?", and my finally deciding to block him. I'd had enough, and I don't need people on my contact list that don't seem to want me either. That's why I blocked him. It was a series of events that led up to one thing. As I said, if I'd seen his reply (see above sceenshot), I would not have blocked him, and rather discussed it further, but he didn't seem interested, so I felt I'd just do us both a favor.

E: typo

And that's fine. But again, why the need for an attention-seeking tantrum? Why not just cleanly remove him from your friends list and get on with your life?

I have one or two people on my friends list (on Steam, specifically) whom I've never even spoken to. I have three, I think, I speak to once in a blue moon (MOnk is one of these).

It's not like Steam is Facebook or some other platform in which you keep personal information and photos (and even there, people don't have a clue how to keep their information safe...).

It's a silly thing to get upset over.

Personally, as much as I used to love talking to folks on IMs as a teenager and even in my earlier twenties, I just hate it now. If someone doesn't bother to strike up a conversation with me I'm definitely not going to wet myself over it and, certainly, I hope that they are as understanding when I don't feel like talking to them.

It's nothing personal, it's just the way things are.

What I'm trying to get across to you is to just relax and stop taking life, people and everything so seriously.

Not everyone is a verbatim copy of another person, not everyone likes being pestered every five seconds and not everybody either wants to or is able to respond immediately.

With Steam, especially, I find it interesting to see what achievements other folks have, but I really, really don't want to be bugged on it; especially when I'm playing a game. So yes, there are times when I will flat-out ignore someone. Not to be rude but because I'm having "me time" now and I'll respond to them when I can. Unless it's urgent... which is pretty fucking unlikely.

So... yeah. Protip: relax and remember that not everyone thinks/feels the same way you do about... well... anything, really. And stop allowing your own personal insecurities to jade your perceptions of other people. Often those perceptions just aren't true.

What exactly is it that makes you think I'm not relaxed? My only "reaction" was to Monk posting accusations against me, without any context. Would you be totally fine with that? All I was doing was defending myself, but I've realized that I don't have to, the evidence speaks for itself.

Why aren't you giving this speech to Monk? He's the one that started this ridiculous thread. :P

Sounds like asperger's. Or ass-burgers. Whichever one you prefer.

Because I figure that in future you might just be able to avoid getting your feelings hurt by non-events whereas I suspect this is a lesson MOnk learned a long time ago.

As for what exactly it is that makes me think that you're not relaxed... Just your tone, really. And that you seem to be taking this all a bit too personally (a trend starting with MOnk and continuing into this thread).

You are, of course, entitled to defend yourself... I just think that such things require a measure of tact as well. If defending yourself involves being provoked inside someone else's trap, then you've already lost and could've saved some face by having avoided it in the first place.

Just my take on all this :)

Then let me clarify. I don't care what the (and let me quote this verbatim) "arrogant, elitist pricks" on the forum (some of the PM's even referred to specific people by name, but I don't want to cause more drama by naming them) think about me. My entirely justified reaction to this thread was because a). he hid it (I wouldn't have had a problem if he just kept the post up, because I could easily just explain what happened and refute it, which I could only do several posts later, but of course, most people didn't read that bit), and b). My friends saw someone badmouthing me, but they didn't understand what it was about. I don't take kindly to people trying to ruin my friendships (even if the accusations turned out to be cardboard-thin).

It saddens me that there are people who send PM's bad mouthing people. One persons point of view of a bad run in with someone should not be forced onto others.
 
I was actually hoping Monk would post a unicorn pic he posted a few months back again. It was a pic of a fat unicorn eating grass with this kinda dumbstruck/retarded look on his face. The most adorable thing ever. Except I can't find the pic anywhere on the forums now. :(
