This guy and I have been friends since I was in 6th grade, that is almost five years. Now all the sudden he has just snapped, and wants to end the friendship. Well, not so much wants to, more than actually has.
So, now I he wants me to give all his stuff back. However, he wants me to give it to him in person, even aftre he has threatened my life. He is bigger than I and in highschool, he was on of the kids that got into frequent fights. He did not loose many.
He keeps calling and telling me that he wants his stuff back, and i tell him it is on my back poarch to pick up whenever he wants. And he keeps threatening me if I don't take it to him.
Not to mention he is harassing me online, too. I left the GreNME because he created an account that is my actual name (W A Hibdon). This is getting to be too much
I guess what this all boils down to, is that I am getting a raw deal here. I am out my closest friend, and I am afraid. I am clueless what to do.

1)Made friend in 6th grade. 3)Friend wants to kick my ass.
I think we're leaving an important bit out of our not-so-informative post, neh?

He thinks I cheated in a mafia game. That is what is weird about it, it is only a mafia game, and I did not cheat.

Wow. What a terrible situation.
My advice: Document the things he has been doing and don't go meet him, no what he says to try and convince you.
I also think you need to not tell him to come to your place to pick up his stuff. That seems like an invitation for him to come and harass you. You need to go drop it off at a mutual friend's house and give him some space.
Be prepared to file a complaint at the police station if things get more out of hand.
Oh! Good luck and please be careful!
((((STN))))

Ah, I remember the intense emotions evoked by my first mafia game. And my second. And my third.
By the way, have you changed all your passwords?
Take a witness with you when you go to give his stuff back.

This is stupid. Your friend is banned.
And a special bit of advice to everyone else: if you have friends or family come to the GreNME forums, do yourselves and me a favor by not also bringing the petty drama along.
Hobbes handled things well, in my opinion, but just like in the main forum, I have zero tolerance for senseless drama. And any friend who is going to ditch you over some internet game wasn't much of a friend in the first place.

Hobbes?
Posted by John L (Member # 6005) on :
Hobbes is moderating the Mafia game

The dropping the stuff off at a mutual friend's house is a good idea. Thank you, I will do that.
EDIT: Am I free to come back when I am ready, John?

I had a similar falling out with one of my best friends in tenth grade. It eventually ended happily for us, but our friendship was never quite as close again. I was pretty forgiving, but I was never quite as trusting. Still, I kept in touch with him for a good ten years after high school, and he was one of my groomsmen. I finally lost touch with him after my daughters' second birthday party.
(Which doesn't mean you should give this guy the opportunity to beat you up, just because this one story ended up well.)
I think Valentine014 gave you good advice for the present.

Yeah, STN, you're just fine. Just remember: no arguing. Posted by SoberTillNoon (Member # 6170) on :
Thank you. I will stay away for a while, though, because I don't want him to think I intentionally got him banned, and bring more wrath down upun me.

I still think something is left out.
The phrases "cheated on an internet game" and "kill you next time I see you" do not go together.
Posted by SoberTillNoon (Member # 6170) on :
that is why I am freaked out, and why I think he is crazy.
Posted by Toretha (Member # 2233) on :
I'm not justifying the lunacy of that, or saying you should go near him, but I can't help but wonder if something else is going on with him you don't know about. I know with my best friend, two of the three times she got mad at me were not really about me, so much as anger at other things in her life, and even the third time was partially that and partially me losing her favorite book.
That sucks, for you, though. My sympathies, I know how it feels
Posted by SoberTillNoon (Member # 6170) on :
Yeah, I am pretty sure that it is other things. However, thinking that I cheated in the mafia game is the "straw that broke the camel's back." In other words, he snapped.
