I don't think you were a jerk or an inconsiderate prick.
And perhaps my claims of "ego" are ill informed.. but there's something off about you that rubs me the wrong way. lol.. I rub most people the wrong way on the internet, so don't take too much offense to it.
The Nby thing bothered me for instance. I wasn't friends with Nby or anything like that..didn't really know much about him.. but he got thrown under the bus for making a joke about a toy.. and you actively turned that into a story about Nby "attacking your child." That's the words that were used during all of that.. and it made me a little ill. Victim complex.. and I'd seen it from you before. You took a lot of things way too seriously.
But perhaps you were under stress.
All water under the bridge now.
Maybe, I don't know. I was upset about the comment made at the time. I thought it was offensive and not just normal this is the internet offensive, I took it personally. Personally because it was about my kid, who I up until then felt I could share with the community and not have to worry about those kinds of things. But I felt it crossed a line. It's not like making a yo mama joke or ragging someone about their girlfriend or whatever.
I think what got me most was I had always been pretty open toward the community and tried to be pretty transparent about events in my life. Through the divorce with Serenity and other things over the years. I guess I just took it a little too much to heart because I felt like it was a betrayal of my level of trust from someone who at the time I thought of as a friend, even if it was one I never met in real life. And granted I realize he didn't mean to be overly offensive by it and it was a knee jerk response just to get a few giggles, but again...I don't know how many of you have kids, but maybe if you did your perspective would shift a bit. That coupled with all the stresses going on, I guess it's fair to say that was one of the last straws and a couple months later it all ended anyways. So the timing was probably good for that too as my heart just wasn't in it at that point anyways. So things ultimately worked out for the best, and I think I've always said I wouldn't have changed anything.
