dad gay. so what posted:

sometimes we have to remind ourselves that some birds aren't meant to be caged. their feathers are just too bright. and when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. i guess I just miss my online friends. :smith:

Very true and yet I haven't had a similar situation occur. Playing less online games and I tend to be more of a lurker. I've only started posting more because I have been stuck home sick. This was a rare meeting and there was a genuine friendship. Just thought I'd invest a little more effort in a last ditch attempt. (don't have phone numbers anymore, chatroom died, and I think they removed me from peripherals such as Steam.)

I need to know specific details about what they were ripping into you and your friend about. In exchange for sharing this information with the forums I offer you my internet friendship in place of that which you have lost.

The actual people that cause normal people to despise anyone that spends all day online.

The same group that claim this cliché does not exist in the real world.

Just imagine an internet trolling but in real life. Arguing for the sake of arguing but certainly not anything constructive.

The thing that pushed me over the edge was that they kept making GBS threads on me for liking A&W. A&W has been a family thing for me and my siblings, whenever one of us would visit we would always go out for teen burgers. My grandma loved them. I told them this and they took it as an invitation to mock me more. Never have people I considered friends before come so close to me just wanting to physically hurt them.

Please note that this was the last straw of a bad day with them.

Your story brings me back to my lovely early teens where I spent most of my time in chat rooms role-playing and talking about newgrounds flash games. I still wonder where you roam these days, GollumOrSmeagol and ilovewinry...

If you're still feeling the space game itch, there's a pretty sizable goon presence in Elite: Dangerous. All the E:D goons I've played with are nice and not assholes for the most part :gbsmith:

sounds like she couldn't handle their goonish nature (due to her flawed personality) and you got defensive on her behalf. your friends were doing you a favor and instead you wanted to fight them and you kicked them out. bros before hos op you hosed up.

cool post, OP. i liked the part where the goon keeps his ID in his socks. why didn't you just bring that up every time he went too far

personally with all those i've met on my virtual voyages i always mercilessly slaughter them like the noob filth they are, born and fit only to die at my 1337 hands, or if they were hot ladies i allow them to come to my abode and then sexually conquer them only to never return the calls :c00lbutt:

True you shouldn't take yourself too seriously but also you can't let your friends poo poo in your mouth and tell you it's chocolate. This is something that happened and then ballooned out of control. Several decent friendships were ruined and I just want to throw it out there that I still enjoyed my time with them.

I though it was funny but also wise of him. As for the ride to my house, he was the younger of the group. Not creepy young but not quite post-secondary education/moving out age when we met. If I were to bring that up it wouldn't be to attack him. After the incident we sifted through every chatlog and brought up every stupid thing we had ever done.
