LOL... you people are way too polite.  

I just threaten to shove my dick up their ass and piss, if they don't write me back... hahahahahahaha......

And that would work, because I would most likely respond to a message like that. And yes it would be very rude.

I'd be curious as to how many of the people that say, "No response is a response," have ever taken the time to write out a curtious letter to someone only to never hear from them, and how many of them that this has happened to weren't , honestly, at least a little miffed at being snubbed after taking the time to write a decent letter.

I'm not a religious person, but I would certainly take what the Bible has to say over Miss Manners any day, after all, she is NOT an all knowing god.  How many have ever heard of the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."?  Or as it says in Luke 6-31 "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise." In other words, if you want to be treated with courtesy and respect, then you should treat other people the same way, and ignoring them is NOT treating them with courtesy or respect aftet they have taken the time to write you a courtious and respectful letter.

Another thought along those same lines, "What goes around comes around."

And Confuscius, "Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself."

The Dalai Lama, "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion"

Hinduism, "That man who regards all creatures as his own self, and behaves towards them as towards his own self, laying aside the rod of chastisement and completely subjugating his wrath, succeeds in attaining to happiness."

Muhammad, "The most righteous of men is the one who is glad that men should have what is pleasing to himself, and who dislikes for them what is for him disagreeable."

Judaism, "That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn"

I think Miss Manners is outnumbered.

For those coming in late, I offer again this suggestion:

After you send an initial email to someone on collarme, go immediately to your sent folder and delete it. If you do that you will never know if it was read or not and voilà…you will NEVER be disappointed that someone didn’t respond to one of your emails.

If you still don't get a response, what will you do?? Did she read it?? Was it lost in cyberspace?? Did CM eat my mail?? Did a mod intercept it?? Did she block me??

Then the most important question: Should I send again?

Not  all th ebooks of the Bible were written by men.

I don't recall any that were written directly by the hand of a diety.  Just people who say they were inspired by a diety.

Two from this morning, "Hey you" from a guy with a (literally) 2 word profile, and "What kind of flower are you?" from a guy with a one paragraph profile about BDSM gardening. Somehow, I don't think either one sent their message only to me, nor are they waiting with baited breath for my reply....

What I find weird..in this discussion .(which is very very interesting) is the fact that we allow and let others have influence on our politiness ..in such we that we find it normal to be inpolite in return.
Polite is a positive word..lol..but still it seems to attract anger/irritation. Ofcourse there were given plenty of good examples why people don't reply....but what do people do against those nor replying? Do you report them for example?

In short; I hope we all agree that beeing polite in its core..is a good thing

Last post on the subject and any who want to disagree can and I'm sure will. Don't really care...No response has become a response to many yet in truth you cannot reply to something by not answering it. If you call my name out and I look at you yet don't say anything I've ignored you and so there is my reply?(try that with your mom or your boss or most people on the street and see what you get back) It's rude and you know it so stop bs'ing yourself lol.
