Grumble...

I don't like people sitting around near me joking about the things they want to do to hurt one of my friends. It really makes me angry.

. . . that's less than optimal. I'm sorry to hear that.

I understand that you're annoyed, but I feel compelled to point out that we were telling people *not* to send any email of that sort, and that other than that the conversation felt to me like observations that have been made about a lot of other people at a lot of other times without great protest. If I'm in error about that, I owe more apologies.

It would also help a lot if you'd maybe say something about it directly, because I know I for one am terrible at reading people and wouldn't have been able to tell in a million years that you were angry. It hurts me to know I'm hurting people and they won't tell me about it directly, because I'm not perceptive enough to tell.

There is only one other person whom I've heard discussed regularly in a similar fashion, and that also made me angry. I don't generally speak up because I'm not on chat, so I really don't know if someone is being out of line... but out of line or not they are both still my friends.

So your friends aren't allowed to be out of line? I think I'm your friend, and I know there's been times I'm out of line.

Complaining about a person being out of line on Schmack is not the same as saying the person is horrible.

I will say that in both of the cases you are mentioning.....
the earlier case you refer to I consider myself semi-friends with the person and found him way out of line. As in, severely nastily attacking people out of line.
The current one......I'm decent friends with the person and while they aren't insultingly out of line, they are....overstepping the line I suppose.
I guess morally I have no problem agreeing they are over the line and still being friends with them. Cause they're people.

Regardless of the whys, I am sorry it upset you.

So your friends aren't allowed to be out of line?

I think I said quite the opposite.

I have absolutely no context here. Can i have a clue biscuit.

*accepts clue biscuits by email*

Talking about someone behind their back is a shitty thing to do to *anyone*.
