I dont even open most of my mail. - nor delete it, or delete it unread for that matter- lol. It just says NEW all the way down my page. That must really fuck them up.

That inbox would totally fuck with my OCD.

I doubt that anyone, including you, would appreciate being treated with such disrespect for their time and interest in you. And if you don't appreciate that kind of disrespect when aimed at yourself, you shouldn't dish it out to other people either. Unless, of course, you are a more worthy human being of special breed and rank that entitles you to ignorance of other people...

Master thinks it's funny because I delete all the "who is looking at you" every single time someone looks at me unless it's someone that I keep a regular email chat with because it's easier and faster to respond to by clicking on the photo.

Otherwise I can't stand to see a cluttered " who is looking at you" or my email. I rarely have more than 1 mail in my email. I continually empty it on a daily basis. Hell, I even delete Master's cmail once I read and respond to one he sent me. I mean, why do I need to keep them? I see him almost everyday in person lol.

I hate clutter. I'm a minimalist.

Except when they write to you: Hello Whore - or Bitch, or Slave or whatever the fuck - Id like to stick my dick,,,,,,, -blah blah blah
Obviously you have zero idea of the morons that flood womens inboxes with their inane bullshit.

Not necessarily. A lack of response COULD also be caused by issues not relating to you at all, for instance break-down of communication means. Even on-line, things do disappear in cyberspace for reasons unrelated to the sender and unrelated to the receiver.

So, "no response" is not necessarily saying anything about YOU, as it possibly could be the result also of a technical problem. The sender can't know.

This means that not responding leaves the other party in legitimate doubt of what the message to be extracted from this non-action truly should be.

The result of that is often that it takes way more time for the other party to find out that the "no response" was indeed a deliberate message from you than what it would have taken you to just send two words: "Not interested". It is simply not a reasonable way of treating a fellow human being that acts in best faith. I doubt that anyone, including you, would appreciate being treated with such disrespect for their time and interest in you. And if you don't appreciate that kind of disrespect when aimed at yourself, you shouldn't dish it out to other people either. Unless, of course, you are a more worthy human being of special breed and rank that entitles you to ignorance of other people...

If I take your meaning correctly, I agree with you. There are even quick response options that can be used.

While I completely understand someone not wnting to waste their time on a "hi hoe r u?" message, it seems almost dismissive and rude to not send some kind of reply to a respectful, well-thought out, innoccuous e-mail from someone who may just want to chit-chat for a bit or discuss the latest journal entry you posted or whatever.

True e-mail exchange from this very site:

Me: "Hi! I wanted to tell you that your journal entry from _ _ / _ _ / _ _ where you talked about your feelings on ________________________ ... I could not agree more! Some of the things you said about how people behave when faced with a situation like that really struck the mark.

Have you ever noticed that when you call the on it ..."

Response: "I'm not poly and I don't share"

Ladies, just to be clear: If I comment on your journal entry and you assume I'm making an approach, it makes you look pompous and cranially-rectally inverted.



Peace and comfort,



Michael

Here's a challenge for the guys that think the women are being unreasonable.

Create a female profile. Then say a polite "no thank you" to every email that comes in. Then watch how you get treated.
