The no 2X4 things lame. As in you are seemingly expecting them, and with 500 + posts...you know what type of db post will garner them.

Friendship...
The foundation of a good realtionship IS friendship.
Now the funny part is you aren't exactly truthful with him...because you want MORE than a friendship. But it is what he is capable fo giving.
You see this as cake eating...cause you want more.
With a child at the very least you should civil with him.
It SEEMS like you see your 'friendship' as a stick you can use to get him to do what you want him to do...and push comes to shove I think you will be dissappointed in how effective it will prove to be to you if you expect him to react to you taking it away.
What does maintaining the friendship cost you right now?
If it is a trick just to get him back? You aren't really friends then anyway.
