Thanks everyone.. :-) i really needed the boost you all gave me. Suddenly things dont seem so bleak :-) Maybe it is a boring, age old topic that we all should know how to ignore by now, and usually i do...just got to me this time round. i cannot tell you how much knowing i 'wasn't alone' did me good. Food for the soul :-)

Thanks guys, thanks for taking the time. You's are the best!

Strangely enough, the profile of the person who sent that email to me is now dead.

It has been my experience, recently, that people can spew forth incredible amounts of disrespect and venom on-line (pm's, email, chat), that they wouldn't otherwise do in real time. It is the anonymity (in some cases), and the distance (they are looking at a monitor, not looking you in the eye) that seems to offer them the protection and motivation to do such things.

Actually, it's not too "strange" at all. If you go back to your old e-mails, I bet you'll find someone that contacted you recently, and you either didn't respond to them, or they were rejected. They probably created another profile, just to send that offending e-mail to you, and then block you. Chances are, it was a rejected loser. They do that all the time.

If I've had a particularly bad correspondence with someone that I had no interest in, depending on how the conversation went, I sometimes expect to get the nasty return e-mail. I usually give them the opporunity to vent (under their original contact name), but only "once." After the venting e-mail from them (if nasty), I block them too. Then, I get a new contact, with the profile created that very same day. I usually delete them too, because chances are, it's the same guy, with the new name. If it's someone sincere, they would be reading profiles on the site, and their profile would be approved by the time they contact me. Someone that contacts immediately....they usually just signed up to make a contact like you got.

They'll be back. There are just some that get off on doing just that...a 'hit and run'. I'm thinking it must be a fetish interest by now too.

Happens quite a bit, it seems.

Perhaps a drive-by forum where all must stand to make their bones in this cruel world. Like volunteerism-- say you sign up for 2 hours a month and let the wankers have at you, then the next person comes to relieve you and the wankers have at them and so on. I wonder if that would slow down the wank on the other side?

Nah..................

In my opinion, you have a very well thought out profile. You seem fairly well educated, can spell correctly for the most part, and you show some initiative. What's not to like? Maybe this guy's trigger is tripped when he sees the "doormat" phrase....there is currently a thread going around about that. At any rate, I wish you luck.

I am sorry for the idiots, it does seem that it is a place where people can hide behind and be the aholes they really are--it had been relatively quiet in My inbox, then today I get this---and I paraphrase--"hey maybe you should stick in your own area and stop cybering and encouraging long distance relationships----" the internet as a whole is a place for people to adopt a new persona, smile, stay sweet, stick to your goals and block those idiots, they don't last long anyway--- too afraid to come out in the open--huge hugs
