bzarcherWell, that was fun. Had a nice fight with John from the office while at lunch.
Unfortunately, it's not even something where I can swallow my pride and apologize, because I know I was in the right, nor is it something I feel would be apropriate to back off on, and it's probably going to mean that relations with him may be a tad cool both in and out of the office for awhile.
The base of it comes down to the fact that after being constantly talked down to about stuff both at work, in gaming, and in my personal life where he chose to weigh in, I finally told him that I was tired of him being constantly negative and poo-pooing anything I wanted to do because he felt his way was better for me. (If he even gave that much justification. Just 'You're wrong, and that's stupid.' And if you're really saying something to be a friend or even just because you want to help, that isn't how you talk to people.
He keeps saying that it's 'advice', but there's a difference between advice and condescencion, and I know others in the office have been noticing it, too. Unfortunately, I don't know if it's something that'll really get fixed easily.
Hell, for all I know, it may not get fixed before I leave Wooster. Which is really kinda depressing.
