My Friend, My Foe, Myspace

Fuel for the Fire

Veronica
After a month of going back and forth over a relationship, here's where and how the anger can be escalated through the simple ability to contact people using Myspace. The letter below would have been in response to a Myspace message I recieved. Also, it was never sent because I realize I have the power to make things worse or nip it in the bud by ignoring the message I recieved.

Here's my letter to let you know I will not be contacting you in the future...

In response to your letter...

You are stupid. For you to get angry about that little 'Winnie the Pooh" letter I wrote you, I know your head is in the stars... This letter is to let you know the difference between nice and mean since you obviously don't know. You don't know me, I know what ghetto is and when to pull it out... My anger was not something that should have been shared with you- but you prompted it. I did not disrespect you in person nor in the letter. Period. I was being nice in letting you know this is a small town and we could run it to each other- I did/do not want any beef. The moment you were aware that he had a girlfriend and you still chose to go out on a date with him was when you crossed the line to disrespecting me... my beef was with him up until you willingly told me you went out with a man (my man) who was in a committed relationship. Also, think about something, he did not prompt the date his mother did. So think about that... him being forced to go out with a girl he did not know nor cared to know. No matter what the problem was that came between him and I, it was between us... for you to follow his lead in disrespecting me tells me you are desperate. Up until your letter all I knew was what he told me, which was that you left- I scared you off... you did NOT answer my questions, which tell me even further that you are not very smart, the questions were about what he said when you asked about me... not where you went and how you met...

Even more, for you to call him (and spell his name right- I bet you still don't even know how to pronounce it) to read him a letter that was meant for you and to cause him to be stressed over something so petty when he has his studies and school to deal with... you are even more stupid. And that tells me you know nothing about him- or care about respecting his ability to have no extra stress. That again tells me you are desperate. Furthermore, the fact that you would want to be with a guy who seemingly cheated on his girlfriend of a year and 3 months further confirms my thought that you are desperate since you can't think past the dollar signs associated with him becoming a doctor. Any other smart woman would have taken that as a red flag to go the other way... Me? I have invested time and feelings and that's why it would make since for me to try and work things out with him...

I was cordial and no matter what you think, did not stalk. I told you- when he told me you were his cousin and he left your myspace page up THAT's when I looked at your account. Let me give you a hint on privacy chick, if you do not want people to know stuff about you DON'T POST IT ON MYSPACE!!!!

Now... as you wish and, I wish the same, don't contact me... I don't plan on contacting you!

  • Using Myspace to vent anger.
  • How using Myspace can further escalate anger.
  • How using Myspace can cause a problem.
The person spoken to in this letter was never met, seen in real life one time and communication contact was only through Myspace. The anger and confusion created by using myspace was a very high level of anger.
