Hi, A Story... Once upon a time a guy called Dave (moi) started playing online poker, i joined a site and started talking to some of the people at the table in the chat box. After further discussion with one guy in particular we exchanged msn messenger addresses and proceeded to talk on there exchanging poker chat and play-ideas etc. Then we started talking on vocal which was cool, he was a really nice guy etc, typical american, balchy cocky etc (not meaning to stereotype). We got on really well giving eachother support and we basically helped eachother out with poker. I think he began to see me as someone who he was guiding through poker, he's about 45 or something, with me being 20 you get the picture. Well just recently i deposited 150 dollars on this poker site and i invited him to watch me for a bit. Now at this point he had been online for about 2 days straight and i mean 24 hours a day. I made a bone headed play and lost about 8 bucks which is stupid but not devastating. He got really narked about the way i played it and wouldn't let it drop, at all. So i got lazier about replying to his msn messages, he wanted to go audio and i didnt want to. He asked me to go to audio at one point and i said no because i gotta jump in the shower and get some food. Now this is what i do most times i make a bad play, to clear my head and get myself ready to pick myself up in the game. He didn't believe me. He started calling me all sorts of names and i remained calm, not mouthing back etc and i eventualy told him, right im blocking you from msn if you are going to be like this. I then recieved this email (sensored) [email] Don't even talk to me for awhile. You are such a stupid s**t, I'd rather kill your folks than ever think I had some influence in your poker career. By brushing me off with the shower and food thing I can only conclude you are one little spoiled English prick not worth licking my shoes. You will never make it offline.. Live .........................haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah B [/email] A day later i unblocked him and said hey in msn, he went offline immediately and then sent me this one... [email] You know I have been up for approaching 40 hours.Probably doesn'y mean much to you. Your indifferrence hurts (my heart) to say the least. I guess you got to the stupidity level you exist in by yoursellf as I certainly claim no responsibility.You a professional??????? Gotta be shitten me! B [/email] I may have appeared indifferent about his opinion on the way i played this hand but i genuinly understood what he was saying and felt the same about the way i played myself. I told him he was wrong about me blowing him off with the shower and food thing. Today i tried contacting him on msn again to say hey, he logged off then i sent him an email saying [email] [name], grow up for goodness sake! Dave [/email] So, what do you think about this, im kinda confused, not altogether upset, just confused. What do you think about the way i handle this? Thanks for reading, hope it wasnt boring ace

I'd just forget about him and not bother talking to him again. It sound like he might have some problems.

Someone people, even at the age of 45, are just insanely stupid. And when I say stupid, I mean, REALLY STUPID.

I mean, c'mon, you played bad, big deal, it was YOUR money, not his. I too shower/eat stuff when I'm bored or have trouble concentrating(The shower is the BEST place to get ideas. I solved many programming problems in there).

This guy apparantly thinks you're his property, and you should ALWAYS listen to what he tells you, like a good dog would do. He's probably jobless(Otherwise he wouldn't be online for 40 hours straight...), unmarried and friendless.

My advice: Stop caring, delete him off your MSN list and go on with life. I had a similar thing yesterday in a 2D side-scrolling MMORPG. This 12 year old called me a good friend after playing for an hour. He was under the impression he was going to help making a 3D game with me(Since I said I'd let him read the design doc, as he was very curious). I helped him out of that dream, and then he went nuts. Read more http://www.toolmaker.nl/journal.php?entry=54. On a side note, I felt bad when he told me he has no friends, everyone teases him, etc. so I returned his Blue Pilfer, just to fix my karma =P.

Hey now a couple of you get me wrong, im so not in love with the guy lol.

He was just someone who i spoke to occasionally that i got on with then went un-nice pretty quickly.

I was only telling the story cos i thought it was acutely interesting.

and Toolmaker you were right about him:

"This guy apparantly thinks you're his property, and you should ALWAYS listen to what he tells you, like a good dog would do. He's probably jobless(Otherwise he wouldn't be online for 40 hours straight...), unmarried and friendless."

except he has a job.

Toolmaker,

You returned the blur pilfer! Would you give back a cloudsong if you received one? I think not.


ROOFLES, that's hilarious. That guy is TOTALLY going nuts over his CloudSong... Whatever it may be. And he's getting totally violent, and he probably kills himself over it.

maybe you should change the title of the thread to 'sexually confused'...

Hmm, Since im not sexually confused i wont do that.

He is just an acquaintance that went stupid lol.

I know he is divorced and struggling for money etc, no more than that, same vice versa really.

I was just supprised by his reaction to a bad poker had.

I couldn't care less if i dont speak to him again, i just wanted to see what you thought of his behaviour thats all.
