ORIGINAL: Mistressfionn ..... So my question is, is this a normal responce some people do when your turn them down or is this person just messed up. I hope this person does not go around saying that I am a pedhophile to others. Welcome to online. Where any nutjob with a computer can come and play. Literally. Some suggestions about dealing with people online: #1 - Assume that no one is who or what they say they are until they offer some sort of proof. Online you can claim to be anyone or anything. Many people are. If they can't or refuse to offer proof of identity, get references, or watch their online behavior for consistency and sanity. At least you might get a wiff of pending trouble that way. #2 - Do not, under any circumstances, volunteer your personal information to someone until they pass rule #1. #3 - Don't take it personal. If a nutjob goes off on you, remember that everyone online can have a pair of coconuts and clap them to make it sound like they are riding a horse. Even if the closest they have ever been to one was watching Westerns on TV. Keep your own coconuts handy. See Rule #1. #4 - Proceed with caution, because no one follows rules #1 - #3 very well. #5 - Online is populated by trolls, horney net geeks (HNG's), users and abusers, predators, people pretending to be into BDSM or leather or whatnot (posers). Anyone can learn the lingo and talk the talk. Very few can walk the walk. Until they prove otherwise, assume that chatter is after one thing - sex. Either cyber, phone or real. #6 - Online, EVERYONE has a safeword. It's called the OFF SWITCH. Use whenever necessary. *grin* #7 - There is NOOOOooo Rule #7! Use what works for you, discard the rest. YIK, - Geoff
