I have a friend that I'm none too pleased with. Let's call all the people involved Al, Bob and Varuna. Al is my BFF of 13 years, 34. Bob is a very good friend of the past 4 years, 40something. Both gay men (this is important later), Al and Bob have met briefly b/c of me, no other reason, for (liberal estimate) a total of 10 hours. However, b/c Bob is a FB nutso, he has FB friended Al. Fine, whatever, I didn't even know until this happened.
Background: about five years ago, I was worried about Al b/c he he was behaving in some ways that I felt pretty strongly were risky and stupid. However, it was related to being gay and so I went to Bob to ask his opinion on if I should let Al know. He told me to stay the hell out of it, it wasn't my business. I agreed with him and left it alone. Al and I actually ended up speaking about it b/c he brought it up to me. I did not tell Bob this. It didn't freaking occur to me.
FB fight: Al posts that he went to see Rock of Ages and that it was fun. Bob posts in response, "Barf". They get into a bit of words about it and I post (thinking to lighten the mood): Some movies are movies and films are films. And Bob, everyone knows you love the 50s surfer movies, so let Al have his Rock of Ages".
This turns into Bob going after me personally, in a rude enough manner that Al gets on his page and has to delete everything.
Then, Bob has the audacity to TEXT me (not attempt face to face adult communication) that I had talked to Bob about Al's lack of immaturity before, that seeing Rock of Ages was a sign of immaturity and why would I get involved when Bob is attempting to take Al to task for his immaturity? W. T. F!?!
I took care of it, but I'm still a bit miffed.
