It hasn’t happened to me for a while, but just today it happened again. Someone, living in their own selfish world, has no idea that other people exist. That even if they close their eyes, other people exist. Even if they walk out of the room, other people exist.
So here you are.
You are doing something or not doing something, and are accused of some kind of nefarious action. If the person had a little patience they would realise that you were doing something, or not doing something, but because their mouths go into operation before their brain.
A friend of mine and I were having a brief email exchange. I wrote my response then took a ‘power nap’. When I came back six posts were from this person.
The first asked for assistance. There was no response cause I was sleeping.
The second post sent information. There was no response cause I was sleeping.
The third was angry; “How long does it take you to read a few sentences?”
The Fourth was also angry.
The fifth was insulting.
The sixth was angry.
I finished my nap, got up and went to give advice and respond, and after doing so, read the angry emails.
All of this within slightly over an hour…
One hour.
Now a normal person would have waited. When there was no response to the first post, make the assumption… as amazing as it might be… that I was Away from the computer.
After all, I am not a cyborg. I do disconnect.
To persist in this infantile behaviour….
well I did give the assistance. But, it might be too late for him. For he has no doubt run off to make a fool out of himself. And blame me.
I have, over the years, tried to get rid of these people. Tried so hard. But failed. For as soon as I think I’ve swept out one trouble maker, another pops in, or the first returns.

Funny, how he waited for your response. He is a bit of a paranoid. Imagine waiting for you when it is just a virtual place.
WHen I am on a blogging site, I don't actually expect to be responded at once because I know that we all have different time zones.
But when my comment gets a response at once, I would really have a nice interaction with that person. We would comment on each other's response until it gets too long and funny.
If we are going back and forth, i.e. messenger and I say, brb or I'm going out or whatever... to tell you I'm not there... fine. If I get an email, well it could have been sent yesterday.. I answer. Doesn't mean I am sitting in email... so.. have to give time... post. No answer... wait. Person could be off line
Arguments are often caused by misunderstanding or lack of communication. Some people who are having a bad day, sometimes lash out, to start an argument with the wrong person or it could be the right person. This does not make it right, to start an argument. One thing that I realize, is that nothing can be resolved when this happens.
When a person is living a miserable life, this is also a reason that a person might become argumentative. It is hard to ignore this person, but would be the best result so the argument will not be escalated. Arguments can turn out to be very ugly if it is not handled correctly. Someone has to be the better adult about it.
There are times when a person wants to have the last word, which can also trigger an argument. I have learned that you are not always going to get your point across to a person. It does not necessarily have to be your fault, but you have to know when to let things go. If there is no reason for you to respond to this person, then don't. Sometimes you can just be tested by certain people, to see if they can get a reaction from you. If you bite, then the argument is on!
So just be mature about the situation and handle it like an adult. If a person wants to start an argument, let them argue by themselves. Talking, being civilized, is often the best solution when an argument occurs. If there is no reasoning, then you need to walk away.
That is very true
