Conversations with a SGitR

[Junkenstein]

I think you need to give him some radioactive condoms just to make sure.

Plutonium flavoured - For the worlds pleasure.

[Freeky]

Wow, what a DICK.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Yeah, as the day wears on and the full reality of never having to deal with his bullshit again sinks in, I am feeling less angry than relieved. My main thought is, why the hell didn't I think of this sooner?

[Doktor Howl]

At which point he GRABBED MY SHOULDER and started yelling.

Have we talked about bear spray?  We should talk about bear spray.

[Doktor Howl]

Also, the kicker here isn't that he's a loudmouth.  The world is full of loudmouths, and if that made people unable to function in society, we'd have gone extinct long ago.

The fact that he felt that he had the right to grab on to your shoulder, however, indicates that he doesn't actually have any respect for your (and probably anyone else's) person.

Then saying the next day that "It was wrong, BUT..." sort of makes it even worse.

"I din' wanna do it, officer, but she baited me."  <--- Can't tell the difference between this "genius" and a po'bucker from Nashville.

He kinda sounds like those pick-up artist guys. Which is to say it sounds like he doesn't really have a grasp on interpersonal interactions outside of delusion-based 'fact'. I think he envies you, Nigel. And/or is hot for your body. Or he's just an idiot and you're well rid of him.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

He very well deserves to get bear sprayed, and probably will at some point. And the lack of respect is exactly the issue... an issue which I have tried talking to him about in the past, and he simply doesn't absorb it, because, of course, he doesn't respect me. Or anyone, really, because he's convinced that he is smarter than everyone else, which means that he knows better than they do what respect they deserve. My error has been in thinking that I was defending my boundaries by telling him that his behavior was unacceptable... because after he'd been horribly disrespectful and I'd talked to him about how unacceptable it was and he continued to do it, I continued to reward his bad behavior by continuing to be his friend, effectively allowing him to continue. I really just didn't realize that the ultimate "no, that's not OK" is simply to not talk to him or be his friend.

He may well envy me or be hot for my body, and the awesome thing is that it doesn't matter anymore because as not-his-friend I have no social obligation to tolerate him in my life on any level. Also, I'm thinking about this behavior as a mating strategy and

I'm Cardinal Pizza Deliverance and I approve of this message.

[Elder Iptuous]

SGitR?

[LMNO]

"Smartest Guy in the Room".

There's a thread introducing us to the character type around here somewhere.

[Elder Iptuous]

Ah.
got it.

Bear spray is the cure for many, many social problems.  Your ex-friend is of course one of these social problems.  One good blast to the face and he's entertaining again, as he rolls around under the table trying to claw his eyeballs out.

[trippinprincezz13]

Well, Nigel, maybe if you just would acknowledge the parallel universes, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

I can't help but giggle when he talks about fake apologies and passing the blame onto everyone else, while he's in the middle of his "I'm 'sorry', BUT...(not really and it's everyone else's fault).

I am sorry about the loss of your friendship and/or happy for you to be getting away from such a destructive person
