My wrath towards the leaf-tea was entirely jest and bluster rather than in earnest but, that said, a Christmas present would be most delightful. I could email you my address, if you wish. Any blend is good.
As it happens things seem already to be on the upturn for me, matters have improved immensely. I have not read -nearly- enough LOXG but I really, really should.
Sorry to hear about your friends and if {as it seems} I am upon that list then thank you kindly, it is mutual.
I can certainly imagine that you have met some dire individuals in your profession. Sorry to hear about that and thank you for the comment.
I don't think you're a terrible person either, James.
You're very correct when you point out that things get lost in translation when talking online as opposed to vocally. Often times people can't tell when you're joking either because tone of voice is lost and may take offense to it as well, especially when vulgarity is used. You can smile and jokingly tell someone to fuck off but in text the smile, and thus the jest is lost.
But anyway, I can respect what it feels like when a friend doesn't talk to you or acknowledge your existence. But life goes on and hopefully it's a learning experience of somekind that either you weren't as compatible with that person as you thought, or there are peronsonality aspects that may need adjusting.

Thanks.

Effectively if I am saying something horrifically, utterly offensive and beyond the pale the likelihood is that I am only joking. Only extreme conditions or accidental folly will cause me to actually say and mean wholly something that deepy insults you.
Usually I try to underline this by making the foulness just so wholly and utterly beyond any measure of proportion that {I suspect} it could not possibly be taken seriously. Sometimes I misjudge, I suppose

"I reckon that we are compatible and I do not feel any deep-seated urge to "Adjust" myself in anything but the most literal fashion. :P It is just a false view that he has developed of me, I suppose.
But then, I could just be to stubborn and closed-minded to accept the possibility. ^.^ Like I say, effectively impossible to defend against."
It is my experience that people often view us differently than how we view ourselves. A "false" impression of someone would mean that the other person's view is different than how you you see yourself. Do you portray yourself publically as being how you see yourself? If no, then yes, he obviously has a "false" impression. If the answer is "yes" than you have to consider the variables of diversity which portray a person's likes or dislikes. It doesn't mean his view is false, it just means it's different from how you want to be seen.

I'm sorry you have had a shocking weekend. Then again it seems most of my friends have.
I'd send some tea (leaf not bagged) but for two problems.
1) No Adress
2) I don't know which blend you'd want
I hope things go better for you soon.
On the subject of Moore I've just got LoEG: The Black Dossier today. Dunno when I'll get it read.
Take care
