Attention seeker, your opinion?

Ok, I have this one guy added to my MSN. I don't know how and why I added him, but however so, bad mistake on my part. I'll explain though.

This kid is a 16 year old British guy, who constantly rants about life and is proudly gay. I totally respect his life and decisions, since I've been raised in a Christian household and been taught to treat people like I want to be treated.

Well, everytime I talk to him, he only talks about one of 3 things.

One subject is homosexuality. Now, I'm a Christian, but I totally respect homosexuals for their choice. I have several gay friends and I don't see it as a hellbound sin! Love is love I think. Yet, everything he talks about has to be related to gays and homophobes, and he shoves it in my face to where I'm annoyed. Oddly though, if I mention having a crush on a girl, he'll get all pissed off and say "Your homophobic!"...all cause I said I loved a girl. Yet, he pushes gay stuff in my face...

His goal in life is to get laid, and he goes as far as trying to convince people they are gay so he'll get a boyfriend. I'm also in the furry community and make art, and he threatened to sue me because I didn't want to make him an art of two males making out. I simply said "Sue me then! I respect gays, but I'm straight and just don't feel comfortable making gay art. Thats just me, sorry."...he didn't do a thing. To top it, in his real life, he sues people left and right apparently because if he doesn't get his way, he'll say that person is homophobic as an excuse and try to "teach them a lesson" and get what he wants.

All gay people I know laugh at him...its rather sad, but he brings all this stuff on himself.

As for the other 2 topics, he just constantly talks about how bad and pathetic his life is. He constantly says he's committing suicide or leaving the internet because someone said something bad to him...which turns out to be a random 10 year old on youtube or 4chan. Everything is over dramatic! He'll believe anything you tell him too if you have a half way believable fact.

Thing is, I can't seem to get rid of him! If I leave, he'll flood my email with suicide notes until I give in. He says his life sucks and he can't leave his room because he has depression and anxiety...which is BS cause I have both and I have a great social life. He also believes the government is personally out to get him because he claims to know their "plans to control everyone" and he's the only one who knows their true intentions

As an added fact, he has that MSN Plus, so he knows everything I do on there. So if I appear offline or block him, he'll know about it and just come back with a new email. I can't rid of the kid!!! Grrr

I'm a 19, almost 20 year old American male. I've got a great real life full of friends and go to college, as well a good status online. I got better things to do in life than to hear this kid. I know all this stuff he does is nothing more than an attention seeking tactic. The only thing I worry about is him trying to drive a wedge between me and a girl I love(whom is online btw, don't bash)

Anyways, sorry for extremely long description. Not really a question, but rather on opinion cause I wanted to vent all this...I see this crazy kid nothing more than an attention seeker with nothing else better to do. What do you guys think?

    I'd block him. People who give threats of suicide to a stranger aren't for real. Besides, you're not responsible for his life any more than you are for mine.

    Do you owe him your life? When's enough enough?

    What are you to learn from his threats? Anything?

    Tell him via con Dias, baby, and say a little prayer!

    Jeez, that kid has problems. Do you actually know him in real life? You could talk to his parents maybe. Or I think you could go on the MSN website and ask them to do something? You seem like a nice person, don't let it bother you too much.

    Keep blocking him everytime he tries to contact you. If sends you more suicide notes, reply with: "It's your choice what you wish to do with your life. I take no responsibility for your choice or actions". Then, end ALL communication with him. Even with the change of emails etc., keep blocking him.

    Now, can't you just dump your old MSN profile or whatever? Create a new one? (email etc.)

    wow, he has serious problems. you're going to college and you have better things to do than deal with this.

    here's what you do. create a new e-mail address and then foward any needed e-mail from your old one to your new one. delete your old e-mail address.

    then send your girl a message on the new name and tell her who you are and ask her not to give it to the kid (if she talks to him).

    problem solved.

    he's got issues, man - I'd just tell him that you aren't going to be his friend because he doesn't show you respect as a friend.

    Perhaps you could tell him that he needs a reality check.
