mousmeYou'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: A stupid saying that actually fits...
Date: 2003-01-31 11:44 am (UTC)I have remained friends with someone I used to date before, and I had really hoped I could do the same with Poms, but I don't think either of us can take the emotional strain.
More to the point, he seems unable to let go, and thus makes it difficult for me to be "friendly" with him.
*hugs back*
