Cannot let heir Rabbit down ;). "Twue Respect......." An expectation was not met, and some feel mutual respect is a condition of society and reject it. Others just do not give a damn, and do as they please since this is the internet. Others feel that respect is earned, but they could show common courtesy. It happens, and I have done it myself, though usually just from being busy. If I am no longer interested, I will usually say that.

quote: ORIGINAL: ToOwnATrueSlave Im not saying anyone should feel obligated to stay in touch for any reason really but a simple "not interested anymore" would be anough imho..But maybe thats just me. I know personaly it is something I have always done if I chouse to stop talking to someone. Maybe it is a fear of confrontation too as I have read lots of stalker storys too Oh I have no fear of confrontation; if anything I love confrontation and often I have to restrain myself because it's usually a waste of time from my experience. I don't see why "look I don't want to talk to you any more" is more respectful than simply going away. Let's say I found you annoying or offensive. Which is more disrespectful? If I TOLD you that I didn't want to talk to you and put in into /ignore so I don't see your messages or if I put you in /ignore with you none the wiser? Both are unpleasant and in my view equally respectful/disrespectful.

WARNING: I'm an old duck. I actually agree with you, OP. I've found that good manners seem to have taken a bit of a back seat, not only online, but in real life too. Simple courtesy, like a thank you for holding open a door for someone, now seems to be a thing of the past. Mind you, look at how men used to walk on the outside of a path, so that a lady didn't get dirt on her dress from passing horses and carriages. Now they'd likely shove a lady in the way to prevent themselves getting dirty!! Men used to automatically stand up on a bus or train for a woman, now they'll read a paper to avoid seeing a hugely pregnant girl balancing her shopping on her head! Courtesy and good manners ARE less common now, but it's been that way throughout history. I also believe that, with the advent of sexual equality, many men now don't know if it's OK to open a door for a woman, or not. Is he going to get his head bitten off or get a thank you?? I'm NOT saying equality isn't vital, but I do think it's made it difficult for men to know what's OK and what isn't. It's been very confusing for many men, and women. On the other hand, I've had women completely ignore me when I have gone out of my way to be courteous, so maybe we're just more self centred now.

I'm sorry Aileen, I really didn't mean the "fat cunt" part, I know you have a nice, slim, pretty cunt. Forgive me?

quote: ORIGINAL: Prinsexx quote: ORIGINAL: Wickad (fast reply) Perhaps you should try a new thread on how people handle rejection and why they turn into asinine little pricks the moment things don't go their way. Or like are you chatting to someone else at the same time? Is that why you are suddenly using smileys????? Or like: oh did your husband just walk in the room or did your internet crash? Or: I'm aware you only reply to me after midnight or after 10.00 am? Did she leave for work or has she gone to bed? Or: why has your spelling suddenly degenerated? Aren't I worth a spell check anymore? There are worse things than a poof. Or they answer your Im's, but never initiate one. You see, they dont have to put your name up on the friends list to Chat with you, so their wife wont see.

It happens more times than I care to admit [:D] That's really disrespectful, Prinsexx, you don't thank someone when they're insulting you. Common courtesy dictates that the least you could do is be insulted. How could you?? Being a masochist is no excuse.

Don't you think that's just a bit of a big generalization, MM ? Good manners and courtesy , "Dom/me" or whatever, never go out of fashion. I happen to know quite a few gentlemen who would agree.

I'm in the barely over 30+ range, and yes, I've noticed the lack of common courtesy. Some people complain about never being answered. I simply don't have the time or the will power to answer every single email anymore. Why? Well, if they're not even going to bother reading my profile, which is usually fairly obvious upon reading the message, I just don't feel the need to reiterate what's already been stated...in my profile. When I am in a particularly snarky mood, I might do it just to amuse myself by reading replies like, "You need to learn how to talk to a dom." LOL Uhhh...yeahhhh....uh-huh....whatever. rme I've had a couple of guys just go "poof" for no apparent reason I can think of, except that maybe I'm not available during the day to meet for "lunch or something." snickers I'm betting heavily it was for "something" other than lunch. Anyway, try to take it with a grain of salt and a kiss my ass or whatever makes you feel better. Personally, I like to sing along with Avril Lavigne....changing some words to suit me.... "Don't pretend. I think you know I'm damn precious, and hell yeah, I'm the motherfucking princess!....He's, like, so whatever, and I could do so much better...."

Internet behavior is decidedly different than real life behavior. Many social constraints, such as expected politeness, do not exist. Plus, you have to understand that social politeness is a very colloquial thing and since we are working with a world-wide audience here, what you and your town's/city's/culture's social behaviors are aren't necessarily the same as someone else's. I mean, this is why Southerners complain about the Yankees and the Northerners complain about the Rednecks. Master Fire
