A guy that I have known since the fall of 99 and used to play many a RTS game with claims to hate me now. I don't really play this game anymore but I still hang out on their forum because I Like the company.

April of last year people were talking about how most of us have never seen one another and how weird that was. I mean we have been hanging out online in one form or another for 2 years or more. I had just gotten pictures back from a spring fromal that I had been too so I put one up.

My gf was also in the picture with me and I did not have any of just myself. That same picture along with many others are on the board some where. This starts a huge thread with people making jokes and comments which is kind of what I expected. I did not expect it to get as bad as it did because I had forgoten many of the people on this forum are young. I was 21 at the time and was probably the 2nd or 3rd oldest person in our little community.

Names were called, insults were thrown, jokes were made, one guy took the picture and edited it to fuck it all up then posted it. I got pretty mad and retaliated then said that I guess I was wrong about the maturity of this place. I thought you people could handle pictures but since you can't I will remove mine.

A few other people had posted pics of themselves/gf's and did the same. Pretty much everyone just let this little incident blow over and I appolgized to some of the people. I even made up with the kid who made the edited picture. I said that I overreacted and was sorry. He said that he was sorry and was just playing around. He did not think that the picture would cause so much trouble.

This one guy who cliams to hate me never seemed to have forgoten this incident. Whenever someone posts about things from real life on the board he gets all pissy and mad. I would call it overreacting in the extreme to get that mad about someone posting things from their personal life on the board. He says that they are just bragging and should shut up about it.

I finaly asked him point blank when exactly he started disliking me. I assumed it had something to do with the whole Picture incident. I did not expect the response I got.

He said, "Ever since you posted that picture of your ugly gf and then ensuing aftermath."

I thought I knew this guy but I guess I did not. I mean that just seems like such a very trivial and shallow thing to hate someone for. Even after all the stuff he has done I don't hate him. I dislike him and I find him kind of sad/pathetic, but I don't hate him. He seems to truly hate me or at least belive that he does. For the most part he will only respond with negative no text posts to anything i say and will say he hates me in posts that don't have anything to do with me.

There I feel a lot better getting that off my chest. I just find it very disturbing when someone you think you know does something so completly odd like this.

I don't think I hate anyone. There are many people I dislike, but no one I can think of that I truly hate.
 
Well...now that you brought it up...I HATE you, Azwed.:rolleyes: I don't hate anyone. I may use that term on many occasions, but, I've always used taht word for something/someone that really pissed me off.
 
Yeah if somone one only used it once or twice I would know they were not serious, but when it has been used many, many times in posts that have nothing to do with me I take it seriously.
 
A(ri)z(ona)we(e)d,

Not much to say here about a resolution, this guy seems pissed about a hole being punched into what he painted as his world at that particular site, his reaction cannot be influenced on your side.

Sometimes a shrug of the shoulders is in order, "oh well".

(Wasn't there some mention of naked pics of your GF you were going to post here, or were you teasing my sorry ass?)
 
I said before my trip up to CT that i was going to use my new digital camera to take more pictures. Not naked ones just pictures.

:( My camera started acting funny about 3 days before the trip and I had to take it back. The camera's LCD screen was acting up and many of the functions would not work. I still don't have a new one because the store is all out, so I am just waiting.

Naked pictures are probably out of the question. At least to be posted publicly. I know she is cool with me posting regular pictures of her, but I don't think she has enough of an exhibitionist side to put up naked ones.

And what is up with people mangling my name for shits and giggles?
 
Just messing with your name because the first time I talked to you I totally fouled it up and looked like the fool that I am.

Again, teasing about the pics, I wouldnt expect you to post nudes though I have seen her pic and know the nudes would be stunning, hopefully you can have some for your own enjoyment.

Sucks about the camera, Im hodling out myself until I have some Xtra cash and for the Canon G1 to become semi0obsolete so i can afford it.
 
Hate is a word I have tried to remove from my vocabulary altogether. Used it occasionally in my teen years (I seemed to have "hated" many people back then!), but later realized that I can strongly dislike things/people instead.
 
Sounds like this guy is jelious. He probably had this image of everyone on the board being a total geek with no life. Then here you come along and post a picture of not only you but a g/f, which of course means you have a life. LOL

I'm new and haven't seen any pictures of your g/f if you've ever posted them here but if she's drop dead gorgeous that probably pissed him off more.
 
Hateful people will hate you for any and no reason. Azwed, that guy obviously has problems that have nothing to do with you.
 
Own enemy?

You've heard the expression "he is his own worst enemy?" Well, I added to it (don't know if I made it up or heard it somewhere)and I usually add regarding a certain individual the following: "As long as I AM alive I am his worst enemy!"
Having said that . . . hate is a wasted emotion but it sure as hell feels good at times!

People who you don't really know aren't the ones who can hurt you. Their opinion doesn't really matter, does it? It is the people you know and consider to be friends who post hurtful things that can get to you the most. It is the feeling of being betrayed by a friend, sometimes when you least expect it. That blindsiding factor makes it worse, doesn't it?
 
Thanks for the support a couple of other people on that forum were tending to side with him and I was beginning to question my actions.

I guess I just misjuged alot of people on that forum. I have known hung out with them online in so many ways for so long I thought I knew them better then I did.

I spent time with them on the forum, in chat, and played thousands of games with them. This one particular guy was one of my regular and best partners.

I just got blindsided by this like Chey said.
 
A couple people asked if there are pics on the board. There are two threads with pictures in them.

One is the "taking advantage of the upload feature" thread by Tiggs.

The other is the "new pictures from the weekend" thread by me
