In which people are getting paranoid
The waters may have gone down – but it seems to have given me a bit of a cold. Bugger. It’s raining again, too.
An interesting threat arrived in my inbox today: someone told me to stop talking to their (online-only, so far) girlfriend, otherwise they were going to be “less polite” to me. Interesting. I’m not sure what he thought I’d been saying to her;* but, also, I feel sorry for him.** Trust is the only long-term basis for a relationship. If you start trying to order other people away from her before you’ve even met her, if you can’t trust her to take care of that herself, what hope is there for you in the long term?
* before you start wondering: just your average passing-the-time-of-day stuff.
** And her, too.
