When you REACT to someone you are letting them control the situation. I don't want to necessarily throw a bunch of Taoist philosophy at the board -but if you simply absorb the way Jon is and don't react to it -I believe you will remain happier. Keep Jon as an aquaintance and pretty soon he will piss others off. If you have Jon at an arms length you can establish good friendships with those he pisses off AND still keep Jon in your network.


I know from my own personal experience that reacting to a situation just leads to pointless confrontation. If Jon is truly worthless then simply don't trust the guy and move forward from that point.
