Oh, man. Don't like to hear that.

Everything was going fine until the crowbar joke.

Oh, no. What's happened?

[azurelunatic]

Everything was going fine until he made the crowbar joke.

Results? Not immediate, which would have shown him just how bad it was, but growing in intensity until, well...

I'm debating, still, on the wisdom of making those two private posts public. A sample from the worst: "why the fuck. goddamn shit fuck shit damn fuck. shit. " Only a 4 line post. Note the lack of capitalization. Note the limited vocabulary. The worse I get, the less coherent and articulate I am.

That was pretty damn bad.

He and I are having a Talk. Soon.

I'm sorry. :(

And, yes, you should definitely have a Talk. Soon.

I think in the previous "That 'joke' is not funny" comments to him that have been made, the full effects of it on me, and the delayed reaction, were not part of the discussion.

Another case of Geek Doesn't Get It, I think.

[tyrantmouth.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I agree.

[azurelunatic]

I think I'll just need to tailor my communications more precisely. He's geek and has the stereotypical communication skills of the geek, so that means spelling it out. Heck, I can deal with Asperger's, so...

Grar, did LJ just eat my comment?

[tyrantmouth.livejournal.com]

Naw, I got it ok.

[azurelunatic]

There are some comments in my journal that only appear to me after another comment is added to the parent comment. That comment that I described as "eaten" was one of them.

Hm.

Sounds like something for Support. I should go now and do that thing.

Yes. Yes they do.
