You *are* at fault. Sure it's a fun hobby, but 
you should have told your friend of the pitfalls, 
heartaches and consequences, not just the joy, 
happiness and exuberance. I'm not sure you were 
the most responsible friend, but that isn't 
really any of my business. I am worried, however, 
that the tone of your post seems to say that you 
don't really *care* that you led your friend 
blindly into this competitive, obsessive hobby 
without giving him any real warnings or genuine 
advice. The post was flippant, mischievous, and 
filled with glee and teasing - without an ounce 
of compassion or concern for your friend's 
emerging habit.

Just my two cents..
