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.

Poms isn't a sociopath, he's just insecure and passive-aggressive. I just wish he didn't feel the need to shove it in my face constantly.

Amen. I hope things are more comfortable for you now that you've made changes to your journal.

I'm curious, though. Why do you continue to keep him on your friends list?

Because I'm a stupid bleeding-heart sop and the last time I saw him he begged me to put him back on my friends list. I had taken him off when I first broke off with him so as to avoid A) him reading what I had to say about the whole thing, and B) my reading what he had to say about the whole thing.
