While these jokes towards Fifo are harmless, it's up to him to respond in a given way and if he finds them bothersome then you're making jokes at his expense rather than just having a laugh with him. And to be fair, Fifo seems to be the butt of most of these jokes, while he doesn't make that many jokes at other people's expense.
Sure, he can respond to them in any way he wishes, but it doesn't change the fact that it makes him look like a butt due to him having no problem making jokes at other people's expense. Regardless of how many it may be.
I'm not denying the fact that jokes can get carried away too far, but even the tiniest joke towards him yields extreme negativity from him despite all the laughs he gets with even the tiniest joke against someone else. His attitude can be extremely off-putting most of the time, especially with all the experiences I've had with the guy during my years of posting on this forum when he's around. Both member and moderation experiences.
There are
very good reasons why I do not accept him on instant messaging of any shape or form, because everything is always one sided with him. Be it jokes or things of interest. He expects everyone to give a shit about what
he wants, but gives no shits about your interests. The effect of having no interest in what he
is interested in usually puts him in a foul mood.
I've gave him the benefit of a doubt years back when I accepted him on Skype, and soon after blocked him due to his rotten attitude. I'm not going to speak to someone who's always so negative and I'm sure I'm not alone here.
Now please don't think I hate Fifo or anything because I really don't. I simply just can't
stand the one sided attitude of his, and I really don't care for it. I'm not going to ignore him on the forum either or let him be bullied, but there just are a multitude of things that he needs to improve upon if he wants any decent friendships in life.
We all have grown up or have to grow up at some point in life.
