Bugger
You'd think LJ, now that I'm a permanent user, would not fuck up my filters.
On the other hand, it has at least let me explore the option of deleting comments and banning users from commenting in my LJ.
And as a note to everyone's favourite drama queen: No, offering to go out and look in neighbouring streets for my car is not a gesture of caring and compassion. It's over the top and comes off as controlling and weirdly quixotic in an unpleasant way. It's something my father would do, although he'd make sure I was there to see how put out he is about the whole business. It would not be helpful. I do not need you to fix my problems, and it certainly won't make me fall into your arms with declarations of eternal love.
Also, there is a very good reason I use filters. You ask that if I'm to say something nasty I say it to your face: I don't think that's a very good idea. You've made it amply clear in your melodramatic posts about how much you suffer on a daily basis that I'm pretty sure that should you read even one sentence of what I've had to say about how your behaviour makes me feel that you would, as a good friend once put it: "Throw [yourself] off the Jacques Cartier bridge and write a LiveJournal entry on the way down."
I don't believe in causing unnecessary pain, especially when I'll be the one to feel the repercussions.
In the meantime, I'm going to be filtering ALL my posts from now on (I was leaving up the more anodine ones), and I've banned him from commenting in my LiveJournal. Apparently he can't be a man and take it, the way another good friend of mine suggested.
Now I have to go to work.

Re: Apparently he can't be a man and take it...
Unfortunately, I am going to have to agree with the others and suggest that you start considering PERMANENTLY taking him off your friends' list for his own good. (I would flat out suggest it but I am well aware how bad you will feel doing so...)
Re: Apparently he can't be a man and take it...
Thanks. :)
I've already done so. There was a bit of unpleasantness on Friday with an email that essentially became the straw that broke the camel's back.
I fired an email back at him, blocked his email address and removed him from my friends list.
*more hugs*
Re: Sucks to be him
I sure hope that you took your last opportunity to Layeth The Smackdown on him once and for all.
Nevertheless, I think it is for the better... He needs to get over it and grow up.
*Huggles some more...*
Re: Sucks to be him
Thanks for the support sweets, it means a whole lot more than you can ever imagine.
Oh, and because this is my LJ that Patrick Cassidy can't see: I fully agree with everything you've said about him. Hah! ;)
no subject
You are welcome. (Anytime you need it, you can count on my support...)
*Snicker*
As for Patrick Cassidy, I am glad to see I am not the only one who can't stand him. If he does not stand down, I fully intend to let him know the full extent of what I think about him. (And he will live to regret the day he crossed my path.)
