Should I Reach Out To A WWE Superstar's Brother Again or Leave Him Alone?

Nothing .

Nothing. You screwed up. You breached his privacy not once, but twice. The first time is maybe excusable, but the second time was just plain dumb of you, since you knew his sensitivity towards privacy. You should have waited for him to tell you or invite you to read hus blog.

Basically, you screwed up. Leave him out of your mind and learn from your errors.

I’m not sure why he would become angry if you found out (by public means?) that is brother is a wrestler. Also not sure why he would be angry that you found his blog (also public?).

He sounds like someone, for whatever reason, is simply not interested in communicating with you. I wouldn’t take it personally. I would just move on. Don’t try to contact him again.

Whatever you want.

What if… he actually lied about his brother being a famous WWE superstar and fear that you ask him more about that will uncover the truth.

Or he could really told you the truth and fear that you might take advantage of his relationship with his brother for yourself. He might fear that you only get close to him because of his brother. Whatever the reason is… that is part of his insecurity and you shouldn’t burden yourself with that issue. One advice, though, it’s not polite to keep on badgering him for conversation when he has made it clear he doesn’t want any.

Whatever the reason, he no longer wants anything to do with you and you can’t force people to talk to you. There’s really not much you can do.

@stylishprue I believe he has made it perfectly clear that he wants nothing more to do with you. At this point, what part of no do you not understand?

It’s plain that this person doesn’t want you to pursue him. Drop the quest.

But I also think it’s nuts for people to expect privacy with respect to things that they post online, where they can be seen by anyone in the world. Really, you display your stuff to potentially all 7 billion people on the planet, and then you get mad if one person looks? That’s just ridiculous.

A GA was given @Jeruba, but on second thought, how deep does the division between a famous family member and one who has their own aspirations need to go before they are recognized in their own right?

He sounds like an over-sensitive jerk. Do yourself a favor and leave him alone.

I think we must be reading this situation very differently, @Pied_Pfeffer, because I don’t see how your question applies, or maybe I just don’t understand what you’re asking about a deep division. Famous brother or not, it’s obvious that this guy doesn’t want our OP chasing him. How do his own aspirations even come into the picture?

Say it like you’re the ghost of Randy “Macho Man” Savage, otherwise, let it go.

It could well be that he doesn’t want to talk about his brother because he and his brother don’t have a good relationship. I don’t want to presume, but a lot of guys in the rasslin’ business don’t really come from happy family backgrounds (though that’s often the case in most performing arts fields).

But beyond that, it doesn’t much sound like this person really wants to communicate with you.

Leave him alone.

From the description of the man’s reaction to the outing of his sibling’s profession, it would appear that the very fact severely threatens his own validity. The fact that you don’t particulary evaluate your former correspondent’s character on the basis of his sibling’s profession is trivial compared to the threat he perceives from “the cat being let out of the bag.” If he is this insecure about so petty a thing, your disvovery of the “secret” renders YOU an intolerable irritant, and little more than the personification of the unendurable “shame” tormenting him. My guess is that there is no restoring your relationship, and the days of pleasant exchanges are over. Move on.
