how many private messages would you

[wildhorses]

NOT respond before you took some kind of action?

[lost-in-nj]

1. I voted 69

cause I like the number
and I don't get that many PMs


:hi: :hi:


you have a stalker??

Maybe Skittles should kick some ass???



lost

[wildhorses]

4. nawh -- i think i need to reword this poll

would you consider 4 pm's in a month stalking?

[lost-in-nj]

9. Nah

4 isn't stalking....


lost

[wildhorses]

12. i don't think so, either --

:shrug:

:wtf:

i think it is the height of rudeness. a polite fuck you is all that is required.

[Parche]

45. 69 Is A Pev Number Ho Chi Minh

I knew it, I knew it, you ARE a PEV

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

:rofl: :rofl:
:hi:
found

[Blue-Jay]

2. Action? You mean like jumping jacks?

[wildhorses]

8. like --

actively put me on ignore. respond saying FUCK YOU LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE...or something...anything

[Blue-Jay]

11. Jumping jacks would be healthier.

[wildhorses]

13. yeah...jumping jacks --

on their face :bounce:

[Fran Kubelik]

3. I don't think I understand. Are you sending the messages?

[wildhorses]

7. yes. i sent

one a week for the past month. no response from this person :wtf:

[Critters2]

5. It would depend on who sent 'em and what they said

From the wrong person, with the wrong content, I might start ignoring after the first message.

[wildhorses]

10. ok.

would you put the person on ignore?

[Critters2]

17. Probably. Again, depends on content.

If it was really offensive, or threatening or egregious in some other way, I'd probably alert the mods, too.

[wildhorses]

18. i hope not

one was touching base.
one was in regards to edwards.
one was in reference to something posted in gd.
last one said basically...excuse me?

[AlCzervik]

6. vicks vapor rub.

:shrug:

[wildhorses]

14. yeah --

vaporize 'em :nuke:

[AlCzervik]

16. well now that you clarified what was going on i'd still go with that option-

and it's probably in your medicine chest already!

[DS1]

15. if not responding meant more sexually harassing PMs from women then

[wildhorses]

19. sheesh ---

men :eyes:

[DS1]

20. at your service

;-)

[wildhorses]

21. and at your

exasperating best...and you have prolly hit the nail on the head...want i should send YOU these 'sexy' pm's for your perusal ;)

[DS1]

23. actually, yes

give me a dose of the crap someone's been sending your way

I'm genuinely interested in this, and in a non-pev way

[wildhorses]

24. actually --

i am the one sending the pm's and they are very...un-sexy... basically just touching base and political stuff. thought possibly this person had quit du like some others (we had a run on that for a while.) i am the one sending. it is just general stuff. i don't get it.

[WildEyedLiberal]

22. Ha - awesome sig

:D

[billyskank]

25. You mean how many messages do I receive before replying?

I usually reply to each as they come.

[wildhorses]

26. that is because you are a good and decent human being

obviously NOT the case here :shrug:

i hate to be left hanging. i won't be left hanging. i cut my own rope. i think you have had this happen on here, too. right? it s very RUDE. i really don't know any other polite way to describe it.

:hi:

[Joe Fields]

27. I think two, at the most.

I might miss one pm, due to being away from the computer for a period of time. But I am rarely away from the computer for an entire day. So I am sure that I would catch the person's second pm to me.

Now, if I am writing a pm to someone, I will expect an answer. If I don't get one, I will write a second pm. If I still haven't heard back from them, I assume that they do not wish to communicate with me, and I would quit sending them pm's.

[wildhorses]

28. you know what they say about the word 'assume'

you are prolly right.

[Joe Fields]

30. you're right, and I usually DO make an ass out of myself!

:rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

29. I wouldn't take any type of action about PMs I've received

unless they were threating or insulting. BTW that's never happened.

I answer most PMs but I might miss a few if I'm away from DU.

[wildhorses]

31. well, i think joe is right

i should assume this person does not care to communicate with me. no big loss. trust me.

[In_The_Wind]

32. next ~ so many men, so little time

[wildhorses]

34. there is bound to be a diamond in this HUGE chunk of coal

keep digging :bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

36. was it fun while it lasted

Remember me when you're out walking
When snow falls high outside your door
Late at night your not sleeping
And moon-light falls across your floor

[wildhorses]

37. hell...i have never met this person --

just an internet buddy...

[In_The_Wind]

38. I've had hours of fun and games with internet pals.

but it sucks when the bubble pops

[wildhorses]

39. uh ---

politics/fun :shrug:

[In_The_Wind]

40. oh ~ never mind

I was thinking of a different kind of relationship :evilgrin:

[wildhorses]

41. no problem --

one of those would be nice :evilgrin: sadly, this is not the case this time :hug:

[SPKrazy]

33. Action?

I dunno what action you are thinking of... answering them with a fuck off would at least be direct.

Ignoring them is another action, less direct.

I suppose they could accuse you of "stalking" them, but a post a week is far from being a stalker.

Sometimes one thinks that someone might reply to them, and if they have in the past it is hard to understand if there was no fuck off or explanation of why they won't reply.

:shrug:

JMO

[wildhorses]

35. that last sentence -- says it all

isn't this a type of passive/aggressive behavior ?

i mean in psychobabble jargon...

cos in layman's terms it is just downright RUDE.

and yes, this person has responded to pm's in the past. in fact, this is the person that introduce me to this place :wtf:

perhaps they are sorry they did :evilgrin:

i don't know and i am to the point that i really don't shiv a get anymore.

thanks for your comments :hi:

[SPKrazy]

42. Could very well be

passive aggressive behavior

:shrug:

ah, like you said, who cares, you are the wild horsey!

:woohoo:

:hi:

[LSK]

43. I voted 69 because this is the SEX forum

:popcorn:

[supernova]

44. Depends on frequency

of the PMs and are they from a single person?


For instance, a couple a week isn't going to get me worked up.

15 messages in a weekend seems excessive.

[wildhorses]

46. hey supernova

the pm's are from me. i researched since i posted this thread. i sent one in may. no response but, it was the type that really did not call for a response.

sent one a week for the month of august... first just saying hey are you still here. one about edwards, one with the link to music, and the last one saying that i had seen where they posted in a thread...(so i know they got the pm's, right?) so therefore i guess for whatever reason they no longer care to speak with me. :wtf:

fuck 'em. :bounce:

how fuckin' rude. :grr:

i would have preferred to have been told to fuck off or put on ignore...hell don't i at least warrant an ignore? what the fuck ever...

they won't tell me to fuck off...guess what fucker ...YOU FUCK OFF!!!!

the.fucker.

the end.
