ORIGINAL: Requiempoet I might come off a little stand offish however, i got incredibly bad vibes from this individual, but i was incredibly polite. I simply told him that i was collared and didn't want to meet... he then told me i was a man...which i'm not. And to the other responses... i'm pretty sure that the first time this happened to you you didn't just swallow it and smile and say that's ok! comments like yours aren't appreciated, you didn't have to read/comment. Just one more thought/opinion from me, then I'll be done. When I was your age, there wasn't an internet for me to receive rude and offensive messages from people (well, actually in the case of the internet, cyber people). I received the rudeness and offesiveness directly from people, face-to-face. Was I happy? Not really. Did I rant all over them? No. Why not? Usually, when receiving insulting comments of this type, I was out in public, hence a little bit of decorum was the better course to take. Many times, I would even just ignore them and walk away. Is it possible that despite the presence of the internet, a similar reaction on your part may work just as well? Just wondering... Oh, and welcome to CollarChat. I hope your stay is all you hope it to be.
