You're a Mexican. You'd be taking an American's job.

I needed the laughs..... I am so stressed right now.

But a Canadian taking an American job is ok? Hmmmmm, maybe we need to build a border on the north as well!
That's what people on the phones tell me. "Oh, Canadian is OK!"
Oh, ok, then! Those people on the phone are always right.
Actually, with your health car system, maybe you need a border on the south!

Well, if you are giving up those jobs to take other ones, then you aren't taking jobs, you are just borrowing them!

I think we need more American born hockey players to infiltrate thier junior leagues so we can take their jobs.
So, I told somebody that he is a huge arsehole today, and that I don't want anything to do with him anymore. In fact, I told him that I felt offended by what he said and did, that he is not alone in the world and that if he keeps going his way, he will soon find himself without any friends, and most will turn away from him like I am doing now. Then I told him farewell, and wished him a good life and that he would sooner rather than later come to see that there are people out there who neither love nor hate him, but simply don't care for him.
I felt really good when I sent that message to him this morning, I had a few people literally applaud to me for that (people who were more hurt by what he did than me), and I know I did the right thing. That guy needs somebody to tell him off like that, because his ego was doing serious damage to some people.
Yet, I am starting to have hints of remorse. Not much, but I do catch myself thinking that what I said might have hurt him, although I doubt it. Isn't that weird?

You did the right thing, Perun.
Well, it just proves that you are a good person when you do what is right, yet feel remorsefull over it because it had to be somewhat painful to the person in question.
Maybe, but I guess that makes you good enough for this forum!

Keeping an open eye on the Weeping Angels.
It sounds like this guy needed to be told what you told him, Perun. I guess if this person feels that the door is open to mend the broken friendship should he change his way and you feel that way too, then I suppose there is a hope for him.
As the saying goes, you have to be cruel to be kind.

Was this upbraiding done face-to-face, or via email? My own personal view is that break-ups and telling-offs must be done in person, or at least by phone, rather than through electronic text message.

Exactly. It's a good sign that doing something painful won't feel "good" forever. You still care a tiny bit about him being hurt, however tiny it may be.
But don't regret it, something positive may come out of it, and who knows, the guy might learn from it and be less bad to other people, including you (even if you don't want to see him anymore), if you'll ever happen to cross his way in the (far) future or vice versa.
Whatever will happen, don't worry, you'll feel better about it, sooner or later.
