I was chating to this person online, and my best friend josh is staring over my shoulder(we've been having a falling out or something). Anyway, he leaves later in a bad mood, not saying goodbye, and afterwards my dad comes and shows me an email from josh about how he thinks that I swore to this person online(someone from church that I know). So my Dad asks me if I did, and I tell him the truth(I didn't). Now I feel betrayed and falsely acused by Josh. This is the first time he's done anything like that, and I don't know how to deal with him. He went behind my back and told my dad I did something that I didn't do, and I have no idea why he didn't ask me first or whatever. I feel really bad about this and don't know how to handle the matter.

Jesus is the answer, my friend. You have only to pray to Jesus and he will smite the lying bastard.

"You'll burn for this. Burn in jail!"

The answer is to leave Amishland and join the real fucking world where people swear.

Approaching him from the standpoint of, "Hey, my father got this note from you. Do you think you actually saw me type a swear? Because I honestly don't remember doing anything like that."

This gives him the opportunity to defuse the situation by admitting he was "mistaken" instead of admitting he lied. He may never admit he lied. But if he says he made a mistake, you can say, "Look, if you have a problem with me, talk to ME about it before going to my Dad. I wouldn't do that to you."

On Saturday night I was held back by no less than 2 police men for punching my best friend for nothing more than a spilled pint. He's still my best friend and not another word is said about it. If this is the kind of shit that goes on without me batting an eye, then why would I give two fucks about you being accused of swearing in a chat-room?

I love this place. I can't think of another place where in one forum we have pictures of pop cans up a woman's twat, and in another there's a kid in trouble with his dad for saying a bad word.

I didn't really mean to be a dick. Actually I did, but now regret it.

Gah! If this keeps up, I'll get bucked back down to Horse's Ass Trainee.

"You'll burn for this. Burn in jail!"

Call him on it. Loudly.

Get at the truth. Everything else is just cheap behaviour.

He's your brother, for fuck's sake. I don't have a brother, but if I did, I would climb all over his ass for not telling the truth about anything.

Sounds like a good friend you've got there, anyway. I agree with Bunner, call him on it, throw a massive strop, then don't speak to him for a while. Make it very clear he's offended you.

If he really is a friend, this will get him to realise he was in the wrong. If he values grassing you up to your dad over being a good friend, then screw him. Really. You don't need friends like that.

I agree with your sentiment ladyj, but I thought you of all people would take this as an opportunity to show Nate by example how to respond when people are in a crisis (however minor).

Nothing justifies his past behavior quite like being treated in the same way, especially by people who are ostensibly more mature.

As for myself, I thought, "WWBD?" (What Would Bunner Do?) and acted accordingly.

Of course, anyone who actually makes it through the gauntlet and becomes a friend knows that I'm a very, very nice person.

You didn't read the cunt thread then? I believe it was in the latter stages of the Mallcore argument, although I could be wrong.

'Cunt thread' sounds ever so slightly gruesome.
