Question Posted Wednesday December 5 2007, 2:53 am
Okay name codes. My friend who asked us to comment his MySpace formal pictures will be called "Chris" my friend who had the conversation with me will be called "Adrienne" and "Chris'" friend shall be called "Tyson"
Okay, well Chris asked a few of his friends to comment his formal pictures, as a joke me Adrienne were having a conversation through his pictures. One of the pictures was a picture of Tyson with his hair all over his face, so me and Adrienne said the picture LOOKED emo, and we made it very clear it was a joke.
This is a while ago. Now Tyson doesn't know I exist, and I don't know anything about him other than he doesn't seem to be a very good friend towards Chris. I just got a message from him saying:
And im emo?
go back to wearing your my chemical romance shirts and wallow in the dark you chubby pathetic loser
Now, at first I felt bad he took it seriously and I was going to apologise because I really didn't mean no offense, but I don't want to give my apologies to someone who's willing to try to offend me back.
I was then going to say he's the pathetic one, you know going through my pictures to look to insult me. I know if someone insulted me I'd just forget about them (Well usually, uh in this case...maybe not) but him and Chris have been having big fights that are really doing damage to Chris' life, and I didn't want to do anything else.
So now I'm stuck as to what to say back. I'd usually ask Chris what to do, or ask Adrienne if she got a message abusing her either. But they're both on holiday so looks like I'm stuck on my own. I know I should just ignore the message, but I don't want him to think he made me so upset that I did "go wail in the corner" but at the same time I don't want to basically be like him and feel I have to try and upset him. I want to say something witty, something that will make him look stupid.

But I do agree that someone who would insult back over something so stupid doesn't really deserve an apology anymore. I would say something like, "It was just a joke, man. No need to get so serious about it." Something like that doesn't offer him an apology and doesn't give him a legit reason to get even more angry at you.
