Sixteen years on the Internet, and I still can't tell what anyone thinks of me. I thought for sure
foodpoisoningsf would deFriend me again after the last time I ended up insulting him in his journal. But it's been a couple weeks and the axe hasn't fallen, so I guess I'm out of the woods if still not exactly in good graces.
So then today I go to comment in someone's journal and find that I can't: He's banned me. Maybe I've got a quaint idea of netiquette, but I always thought it was customary to at least give someone a head's up. Provided they weren't obvious trolls or harassers, of course. But given that this is someone that I've actually taken out to dinner before, I didn't think I'd qualify as either.

It's hard not to overthink this kind of interaction. If you have a means of direct communication, isn't that always better? It could be a mess-up.
Netting A Good Conversation
Dont really matter for me.. not many folks talk to me on their anyway ... I always say face to face is better than net to net.
Also, I have been in that same situation where I "thought" was friends with someone then totally banned me from speaking to them. Bear Chat-wise or LJ-wise. I at least have made known that I was taking people off and that they will find out.
Other than that... EH.. its a crap shoot most of the time.

Wenn ich verärgert oder gekränkt war, habe ich mich nicht um Feinheiten wie "defriended" und "banning" gekümmert. Das sind doch öfter spontane Reaktionen der Wut und des Ärgers und seltener Reaktionen, die auf differenzierte Überlegungen zurück zuführen sind.
Ich wundere mich über die Feinheiten deiner Überlegung. Mich würde der Unterschied zwischen "defriended" und "banned" überhaupt nicht jucken. Entweder es wäre mir generell egal oder es würde mir generell Kummer bereiten, wenn ich so oder so ausgeschlossen würde.
Ist es Eitelkeit, wenn es dir Kummer bereitet, dass jemand nie wieder an deinen Gedanken teilhaben will? Es erinnert mich an Peter Ustinov als Nero, der eine Träne in einem Gefäß auffängt, damit sie der Nachwelt erhalten bleiben.
Have a nice weekend.
