so the guy i dated briefly last year, he of the recent scathing e-mails and insane behavior, continues to annoy me. and i'm torn. as i mentioned before, he joined an LJ community i'm in, looking to make friends... so now he's going full-force, trying to post these long, witty messages to everyone to ingratiate himself. if someone makes a simple comment, instead of just saying "thanks", he launches into a freaking paragraph. ugh, whatever.
i don't so much care that he's on there, because everyone has a right to be on there if they want. it's the sad, desperate way he's going about it... and some of these people, as when i first met him, don't know him well enough to understand what his deal really is. so i just have to sit there and watch this train wreck, when i want to jump in there and shake all of them and give them the real scoop. i actually thought briefly about leaving the community, but on principle i just can't do it. i'm not going to be bullied out of a community i've been in for quite a while now. but every time i see his icon, i just get sick to my stomach.
it's one of the many reasons i haven't dated a swing dancer yet. i don't know how you can date someone, find out what their true nature is when the "public facade" comes down, and end it... and then have to see them out dancing all the time, and keep your mouth shut about what an ass they really are. ugh, i just don't think i could do it.
edit: since a couple of you asked about the original post that started the recent drama... it's here. i won't even explain... it's pretty obvious who's being nice, and who's being nuts. *shrug*
