ok, this is about me and a good online friend. well, I came out recently. and I linked to this site to show him an image of my cats. so he knoew I was coming here. and he already knew I was gay. so, I am on steam chat, there are 8 or so people there, and I say "I got a PHP sig. there's a 0.1% chance it'll link to an easter egg". so, he takes it upon himself to link to my sig here (they're the same design, different name) of course, I left the chat, blocked him and ignored all requests to join that chat again. I'm just soo pissed that he's done that :dry: I mean, it's a COMPLETE invasion of privacy. sure, I'm out via steam groups, but it gives him no bloody right to link here freely KNOWING how hard it was to come out online. I planned to block him for about a month. just to sort him out over that, his pornography links he's been posting on the chat and his spam everywhere. and as a forum mod, I think I'm well within my right to block him for that. still, I want to know what you'd all do. would you block him for a month? more? talk to him? right now, I'm just too angry to even talk to anyone ABOUT him :dry: idk. he seemed trustworthy. but recently, after he left to go on holiday, he's been acting odd. and not in a funny way. sure, most of the people in the convo will probably forget, but I don't want him to forget anytime soon. I want him to KNOW that that's an invasion of privacy and completely unacceptable :dry: thoughts?
I don't know if I completely understand the scenario, but it sounds like it certainly could have been an honest mistake. He might have simply thought "Oh, right, I know that one...it's...here." And not stopped to think "Wait, that's on a site geared towards gays, and he might not want that information shared." I'd say at least give him a chance to explain/apologize. ...as for linking to porn and all that, separate issue. Lex
Its totally not cool for him to throw you under the bus like that :/ I'd still let him explain though, to see if he's truly sorry or just making an excuse up :icon_bigg
