I made the mistake of reading the YouTube comments on a video about the wildfires in California. You might guess what the theme is.

This can't merely be explained by stupidity. This is downright evil, and it's being spewed by people who think they're the defenders of good against evil.

Ok so I need some advice. The C U Next Tuesday I mentioned before who got his friends to threaten me in college is now too scared to pull anything like that again because of the backlash, so he now resorts to psychologically annoying me by laughing at me all the time when I'm near him or shouting stupid rubbish at me

Sometimes he gets the same bus home as me, so I have to stand near him at the bus stop. I couldn't deal with it today, so I walked into the town to get a later bus and was home far later. So I'm asking, what do you think my best course of action should be, should I carry on walking away in situations like that to stop anything from happening, or should I stand my ground, stay and ignore him to try and get the little retard to realise I'm not interested? I'm stuck at what to do and it's infuriatingly annoying and stressful

It certainly sounds infuriating and annoying, and I can sympathise because I got a lot of the same during my schooldays. But ultimately I think standing your ground and finding some way of genuinely not letting it bother you is exactly what you will need to do. Because if you keep avoiding him and he works out why he will smell blood, press home his advantage and it will just get worse.

It sounds like he's trying to provoke you into kicking something off yourself, so he can claim he didn't start it. Don't give him what he wants. But consider this: if he's too scare to physically have a go again, but still can't bring himself to just leave it alone and so has to resort to such pathetic provocation he can't have much in the way of self-esteem, and as such is worthy of your pity. Not sympathy, just pity.

You might also be able to derive strength from the fact that he so desperately wants to annoy you, and this is the only way he feels he can still get at you. Basically, he feels powerless.

If ignoring totally, with headphones if needed, is completely out of the question, then police. He actually sounds very close to hospitalisation.

Thank you both so much, I think I'll just try and hold firm with him and see if he stands down. And yes, he does like to provoke and claim he had nothing to do with it. He attacked (or rather, his friend did) a friend of mine after provoking him, then lied to police about it and got away with it. Of course, he refused to press charges, apparently due to politeness, but anyone with a brain could see that it was because a police investigation would expose the truth about everything

Apologies if I'm rambling, I've just had enough of him
 
I mean you either keep these to yourself and mum's the word, or you go ahead and share something decent, not necessarily the whole thing, but something. Bragging about it, teasing, and apparently trying to sell it, sod off.
 
I had Blaze's "Hatred" video open on another tab stopped at one point, and when I clicked back to it I nearly got a heart attack from the fucking thing.
 
Talked to my Dad ... an operation is not doable due to where it is .. too risky ... so onto radiation, which will start right after Thanksgiving

Don't worry, you're not rambling. Stay strong, my blood brother :).

I really hope it all goes well and he'll recover and have many good years still ahead of him. All the best to you and your family.

Thanks ... My Dad semi-likes Maiden (he is a massive Deep Purple/Jethro Tull, etc fan and hears some elements of that in them) ... told him about Bruce and his cancer battle .. the tumor is in a semi similar place ... Bruce is up running around and still singing. My Dad cannot sing for shit and I got the shit singing gene as well ... but between that, going over statistics on this ... I think he is feeling confidant and in generally good spirits ... I think the mental side of it will really help him. The outcome looks good, the treatment is just going to suck. Makes it harder that my Mom passed away from cancer 20 or so years ago, I am the only child and over 1000 miles away. He has help from some really good people, but it does make it harder. I will be spending a fair amount of time in California helping him with this .. if I have to fly out there every week, that is what I will be doing.

9 months of torturing excitement as I wait for Maiden! If I go too insane, I might have to go into the politics thread and start some conspiracy theory trouble! :lol:
