[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6059555, member: 92511"] Now, I am not claiming to be as astute with this material as Umbran or Danny, but I have been called a good listener and communicator on more than one occasion. That said, I feel the need to point out a small bit of...possibly unimportant/unintentional but possibly relevant info. Namely, did anyone else notice... The poster, in the thread title, did not ask for help dealing with "a friend who[I] is acting like[/I] a jerk." They asked for help with "a friend who [B][I]is[/I][/B] a jerk." This begs 2 questions: 1) Is this actually what the OP meant...subconsciously, perhaps? and, if so,2) Why are you "friends" with someone you recognize to be a jerk? I advise trying the civilized mature discourse as already suggested and then, if that does not appear to work (and I have my doubts that it will with an actual jerk), move swiftly into delricho's "see ya" scenario. And, if you come to the conclusion this person is a jerk (which does not equal "friend", in case you are wondering) then maintaining interactions with him outside of game time seems contraindicated, as well. Good luck. --SD [/QUOTE]
