ORIGINAL: MisPandora Ladies, Does how a fellow carries himself here in the forums (or on the boards of other sites) have any bearing on your consideration of him if he were to approach you with personal interest? Absolutely; every bit as much as HOW he might first contact me; one liners don't get responses, nor...generally...do very poorly spelled notes or comments with horrible grammatical mistakes. I am a very poor speller…and most of the time I manage quite well here, I think. But, I check my spelling! LOL The occasional to/too or right/write slip by, in spite of my knowing better; so I do not expect perfection in others, either. Still, I cannot stand bullies or people who will not concede others may have a difference of opinion. Some act like being right somehow makes them taller. Ugg Okay, I’m as tenacious as they come (especially since my first instinct is I must have ‘said it wrong’, but most of the time I do try to be polite and suggest this is my opinion. Politeness counts to me; I look for it in others. Great question, MisP. In fact, one of the first things I do is look at someone's posting history. Sadly, it is most often empty. B Edited to add: Politeness counts to me; I look for it in others...AND I try for it in my own communications. Sometimes, especially when an otherwise perfectly competent sounding individual does something I deem really stupid, politeness, for me, is quite a struggle!
