Have You Ever Had a Stalker?

Of course, but ignoring him and the situation has not helped it.

 

Hey man, how's your brother doing? After putting his whole fucked-up life on display in that one column, are you still not talking to him? Or did you re-evaluate that based on the wisdom you've gained from your own life experiences in the interim?

 

I used to do stuff like this even after I left. You know, pop up from time to time and start shit. Thing is, I realized how pointless it was and stopped doing it. When will you?

 

I guess when it stops being fun.

 

I feel bad that your life hasn't evolved to the point where being an asshole online is no longer fun.

 

I'm often an asshole in real life too, if that helps paint a fuller picture. My drug-dealing back-fence neighbor HATES me.

 

Well, I don't hate you, if that's any consolation.

 

Don't be a gawker at the place where the stalker hangs out.

Just my $0.02.

 

That's fair, but that's not all it is.

 

Don't worry about him. You know who these guys are carrying water for, and what that says. It's all good.

 

I mean, I get the behavior. I took part in it. But that was in my late-20s and early-30s. I'm almost 40 now. I have better shit to do with my time.

 

This is like an old Newhart episode where old characters come back and mix it up again, in front of a live studio audience.
