TheCyborgNinja 08/21/17 7:15:04 PM #6: | He reminds me of the FB "friends" I stopped following (who are either extremely whiny, repetitive in their posting, or overtly aggressive SJWs - believe it or not, I actually have a lot of leftist or religious friends, in spite of general disdain for those things). Once I justified to myself that removing toxicity isn't the same as silencing a healthy discussion, it made my life a lot less stressful online as I cut out the morons. Unfollowing is step one, and it takes a lot for anybody to get me to unfollow them at all, and next comes straight-up removal. I try to respect others' views, as long as they can justify them, especially coming from people I obviously don't dislike (enough to want to add them at first, anyway), but past a point I simply realize "I hate you now" and just cut them loose. There was a guy I knew that had mutual friends in high school, but was about as likeable as Erik was. I tolerated him for the sake of keeping the peace. He tries to add me, I decline. He sends me a bunch of messages asking why I didn't want to be his friend (keeping in mind that this was about 12 years after graduation). I bluntly told him my reasons, but he just says "yeah, I was going through some stuff and wasn't easy to get along with" then sends me another friend request. I decline it too, then I see him agreeing with replies I leave on other people's stuff for the next two months. It became comical, so I opted not to block him, and it eventually just stopped. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 ... Copied to Clipboard! |
