I seem to have gained about 15 followers as a result of that...Twitter's weird.
That was a chore I'll tell you...I did actually have some sympathy for him to begin with (and still a smidgen to be fair) because being slagged off by faceless warriors on the internet is mightily frustrating, and I get it regularly when I blog, hence why I never try and do it myself. However his insistence that this constituted an agenda of some sort, and the fact he kept referring to these "threads" and the "extreme measures" and "targeting" when in fact it was just one rather mild thread (which I've never even posted in as it happens) talking about some rumours he started - rather innocently at first too - and not "threads dedicated to targeting him" became impossible to ignore. ..He did seem to have some odd delusions of importance. ..I'd never heard of him before that thread, and barely remembered him when he was brought up today, but apparently we Cafites have an agenda...Hmmmm...
He seemed to feel he'd be the victim of a coonciously organised and vicious smear campaign..as opposed to simply being called a tit by some no marks on an Internet forum with 30k members...
It just became boring after a while. The fact he'd decided he could say anything he liked about the site because "he'd been attacked" before was the crux of it. He felt righteous about it cos he'd been wronged. Didn't matter that this wronging had nothing to do with this current instant, in tone, scope, theme or ...well...everything...all that mattered was that he'd been "attacked" and therefore hadn't started it..so it became like arguing with a particularly thick brick wall...And eventually one who just completely denied he'd even said anything in the end. Initially it was "not an accusation, just an opinion" and now he's pretty much pretending he never said anything to begin with...it's odd.
And yes, I did sign off by telling him seats for the game on Sunday were by the 'Pool fans so I'd send them his moral support..But I think he'd blocked me by then....
Hey ho....Internet, serious business.
