Does Live ruin your single player gaming sometimes?

Well, what you are talking about has nothing to do with Live. It's not a Live problem, but a friend management problem.

 

You're 100% right.  It's not a Live "problem".  It's a Live feature that I usually love--except for a select couple of people on my friend list.

   I would not be blaming the feature.  Even if live could block one person, then, as you said, he'd know you were on normally and had him blocked or your status set to offline.  His expectations of your friendship are more than you'd like them to be.  Just as in any real life situation, if you want to keep this gaming buddy, then you have to do some work to maintain that friendship.

   If this friendship is more than you care to make sure to upkeep, then just be straight with him that you don't care to play Tiger Woods very much and you want to play other things.
