ORIGINAL: hauser Thank you Duskypearls. I was wondering exactly what you put into words - What he hell planet did this lunatic come from? It's appears to me that the real people are here on the message boards. I wish I came here sooner. quote:
ORIGINAL: Duskypearls Welcome, my dear, and worry not, your pitiable experience is par for the course. While the number of cretinous posts you get may lessen in time, rest assured, you will continue to get them. It's part and parcel of the online deal, like it or not. To some degree you'll get used to it, but if you're anything like me, you'll continue to keep shaking you head from side to side, and wonder, "What the hell planet did this lunatic come off of?!!! Save the really inane ones, 'cause every now and then we share some of the nuttier ones, which both exasperate and humor. Welcome again! You'll be alright, dear. I know it's a bit creepy at first but like it or not, there's no way to stop it, so you kind of get used to being Quick draw Mcgraw, quickly deleting posts and blocking profiles. Your skin will thicken up in time. Know this ahead of time, and be prepared, that the majority of males contacting you will be illiterate, inarticulate, insensitive, and emotionall and socially inept. Then there's those that are totally depraved, and will write you something that'll make you want to puke, usually only for the shock effect it will have on you, or in actual hopes you'll do what they ask of you. Finally, about 1% of them, if you're lucky, will have a brain in their head, and a heart in their chest, but still you've got to vet them carefully, for many lie, exaggerate and/or manipulate. Some of them are REALLY pros at this. I hope this hasn't depressed you too much. I figured you'd be better off informed, so you can head most of this crap off at the pass. If nothing else, you'll get a helluva education here, both from smart and nice people, as well as their counterparts. Good luck in making many true online and real life friends.
