So saying "No matter what I say or do to try to help you, you ignore it or reject it, so I'm not going to try anymore" is a level of unpleasantness I wouldn't tolerate in my own journal? I must say I'm surprised at your response as well (not to mention that I disagree with you on that point).
He wanted to know if he would get the same response here as he got indirectly in someone else's journal. My answer is no, because the way he responds to offers of help and suggestions for change makes that kind of response impossible. I was simply letting him know why it wasn't possible for me to give that kind of a response; when I do, it gets rejected out of hand.
And he may have changed. As I said, based on his LJ (which is the only interaction I have with him) it does not appear that he has. I will take what you and others have said about there having been real change off-LJ, as well as what you have said about how he uses his LJ, into consideration and try not to assume that there has not been change simply because it is not apparent in his LJ. I would appreciate an acknowledgment that at this distance and through this medium it's quite difficult to see that, however.
