This guy would IM me out the blue and want to have a conversation. I was cool with that. But, I noticed that the way he acted on AIM wasn't the way he was acting towards me on RV.

On AIM, he'd tell me about his life, etc. And, I would be considerate and listen to him. Then, I'd come on RV and see where he was basically trying to clown me in a thread over something that had nothing to do with the AIm convo.

After confronting him on AIM about it, he basically took on an unapologetic tone. So, I said, "fugg off."

Then, he went on the attack, suggesting that I'm a pedophile, and all these other derogatory things.

^^^Now, as a Christian, I forgive him for lashing out like that. But, I'm DONE with Mad Dog. I'd be a fool to continue to talk with him as if nothing is wrong. But, as strange as that is, he would, if I allowed it, AIM me again as if nothing is wrong with calling me a pedophile and trying to humiliate me on RV.

It's about self respect. People do to you what you allow. And, I choose not to deal with people like Mad Dog because they are vindictive and spiteful. I forgive him. But, I'm done with him, PERMANENTLY.
