kittean -> When no means no... (12/28/2005 9:39:02 AM)
I will admit.. i dont usually post things. I am a lurker by trade. But something happened today that i am having trouble dealling with. I thought i was being nice today when a man emailed me, and i took the time to respond versus just ignoring a message. Instead i got a rude response because i would not consider starting something with a person who is hundreds of miles from my home. Now it has me wondering... am i wrong for having responded and telling him that i was not interested? i thought as a female i had a right to say no... am i wrong?

Never expect anyone online to have good email manners. Be happily surprised when they do. Did you really have to ask this question? Yes, I'm afraid the right thing for you to do would be to give into his 4 year old tantrum and submit immediately, repent your sins and give him the best blow job of his life. People will say and do anything to make you do what they want- including getting angry, telling you that you are wrong, insulting you, making you doubt yourself...whatever works. Treat this just like you would in the vanilla world you've always been in.

in vanilla situations, i usually try to be just as respectful as people are to me - while this is a bit different and i certainly wouldnt disrespect anyone, i see nothing wrong with a politely phrased refusal, even if the person in question is being a bit... dramatic.

Female or Male.... we all have the right to say no to a stranger. So chalk it up to just another asshole, use the ignore feature and go about your business as if he never showed his ass to you to begin with.

Nope, you were not wrong Yes, you have the right to say no

Laughs* Ok, obviously you have the right to say no. I think the better question, is were you right to reply to him just to say "Not interested", and potentially bruise the lil guys fragile ego. I still think you did the right thing, I do not really send out unsolicited emails (However I will not say I have never) but it would bug me to get no response a lot more than just a "hey I was looking for someone a little closer, or different" I hope you continue to respond no matter and realize that when people that act like he did, you are lucky they were not closer to begin with. I respond to all emails, I just think it is the polite thing to do.

That is something that i can take away from this whole thing. It would have been more akward if he were closer.

FlorentineBob -> RE: When no means no... (12/28/2005 11:22:02 AM)
Yes, you have the right to say "no" or "Not Interested". Don't let someones anger/dissapointment color your judgement. At least you had the courtesy to reply.

amayos -> RE: When no means no... (12/28/2005 11:25:40 AM)
Sadly, I must say rude behavior online makes up a good portion of the majority behavior online. I don't see anything wrong with what you did. The one on the other end is in the wrong, if it all went down the way you described.

I feel uncomfortable posting the word for word in an open forum because i would not want someone to do that to me. I would not object if you would like to question me further off forum about the exact wording. I dont think i have done anything wrong so i feel no shame in offering up a more detailed explaination off list. I am not sure what the rules are about posting word for words clips on the forum are so that is why i did not. I chose to err on the side of caution.

If you keep responding, this situation will occur many times. You have to accept it as par for the course, or simply don't respond at all (and you'll still get rude emails).

roughleather -> RE: When no means no... (12/28/2005 1:15:47 PM)
Oh, get a grip. You think a guy owes you something because you "took the time to respond to his email" in which you turned him down? That's a high level of arrogance. [Mod Note: Insults deleted. Please refrain from posting juvenile personal attacks towards someone just because you disagree with them]

Well ... one of three things just happened here: a) We found out who the rude dominant was ... b) We just witnessed message board suicide ... c) Both a) & b)

MHOO314 -> RE: When no means no... (12/28/2005 1:42:12 PM)
Excuse Me?? I do not think she asked nor did she expect such a rude and unkind response---talk about arrogant---

MHOO314 -> RE: When no means no... (12/28/2005 1:45:49 PM)
you did the right thing to respond and be honest--and its not just the female who has the right of refusal, everyone does--if he was rude, you do not want him anyway btw its the back of the moon, watch it the wankers will be in adundance--My advice when that happens---Stop, Drop and Block-- welcome to the posts and CM--

I'll bet that what you're really annoyed about is that he probably put you down for being a "wide load". I dont think he owed me anything to begin with except for the same respect that i thought i showed him. I did not tell him that i was not interested in him because of the picture he has on his profile or his personal description. I told him that i was not interested because of distance after he approached me. I did not initiate the contact. Had i done so i would not have been so upset by his comments and it would have been more understandable. I do not hide behind a fake picture or a glamour shot. My pic is fresh from the shower, hair wet and no make up. (i was wrapped in a towel and my kid was messing with my camera... it was an honest pic so i kept it) Had i misrepresented myself it would be different. I am what i am and that is all i have to offer. I am a mom to two very busy kids... between them, carrying a full time class load in college (law and business admin majors) and a job, i will be honest ... i put myself last because it is just me and them. They are in a sport that travels a lot and practices a lot (a 6 hour practice is coming up this friday to bring the total this week to 8 hours) and practice is an hour from my home. So yeah... if i dont get to a gym (shrug) oh well... i would rather my kids have the memory of me when they are older that mom took care of them and not brushed them aside. I have been to the doctors and they have given me a clean bill of health. To lose the weight would be something i do for me, not for someone else. The dedication that i give my kids is also the dedication that one day i will give to a partner who i find to be compatable. (ok.. i am geting off my soap box)
