He still doesn't realize that his creepy, unrelenting obsession with getting old "friends" to talk to him again is probably a huge reason why he drove so many other "friends" away.
People (not just "I don't owe you emotional labor" SJWs) don't like that kind of thing. No one likes a person that just decides you have to be their friend now and doesn't care whether you are really interested or not, have the time and energy, care to humor him/her. It's fucked up and, dare I say it, kind of abusive and his public reeing is emotionally manipulative.
I know that's all very obvious to us here. And that Gnome, if he reads this, still won't get it.
