Something I always tell myself is that if you remain calm while someone screams at you and curses at you in the most immature manner you've ever seen, you will eventually get them to realize they are being needlessly cruel.
However I have just been cruely reminded by @/phantomhunt that this is not always the case. Our Remus fictive accidentally triggered them multiple days ago, and hadn't had a chance to apologize. Someone messaged them with our side system's past and they proceeded to decide we hadn't changed at all.
Which is not true at all, but regardless. Their Virgil alter then began cursing at us and demanding a "good enough excuse" for what Remus had done. We told them, multiple times, Remus hadn't been aware of their triggers at the time and was reminded and going to apologize; but hadn't yet had a chance to.
They continued to curse and talk down to us as if we were below them. Then we told them not to speak to us that way, they said "no, I will." And forced our Remus alter to front in a triggering situation while their anti-septiceye alter talked to us like we are the dirt beneath their feet.
We checked their status and they had "splitting: interact with extreme caution" with abbreviations. We realized they were having a BPD induced meltdown and we blocked them after saying if this is how they react to an innocent mistake, we shouldn't be friends.
They are acting like a toddler because we didn't want to force our alter to front and take the verbal abuse they threw our way.
Pathetic. I know they won't see this and I am glad. We needed a space to vent.
