I debated whether or not I should come in here and reply to this, and finally decided to.
I don't know if anyone remembers me too well, but at one time DJ and I were pretty close friends, or so I thought at the time. His approach to me was a bit different. For one thing, I didn't have IM, it was all through PMs. I was the first to PM him, because I had a question about a statement he made on the board. We talked everyday for months, and it was about REAL life stuff, or that's what I believed at the time. About his family, his work, etc.
By the end of our friendship, it had gotten pretty nasty; I knew he was a liar and a manipulator, I had no idea how sick he really is. I just kept catching him in lie after lie. When I finally cut off contact with him, he PMed another friend of mine trying to get information about me and asking why I wasn't speaking to him. I made the mistake of contacting him again, and being pulled into yet another sad story. Finally I washed my hands of him completely. This is pretty much the reason I stopped posting here. He seemed to have a lot of friends here at the time, so honestly I thought maybe it was just me that brought out his more charming side.....:rolleyes: And I was an adult, I was the one that allowed his manipulations to go on far too long. I was under this delusion that he was basically a decent guy, just a tad misguided. But I stopped coming here, because he made it a miserable place for me to be.
To hear this, I am sickened. I didn't realize how sick, and just all around messed up in the head this guy really is. And I am glad that I pulled myself away. It does make sense, and isn't exactly shocking I suppose, looking back. People really do need to show caution online, because you just never know. Like I said, I knew by the end of our friendship there was something off about the guy, but just being a jerk is different then.....this. I'm just glad the mods put a stop to this. :)
