I write back when they write something intelligent or interesting and don;t appear to be fishing for pud-pulling material.

If it is an assinine email like

"r u dominate?"

well ... those I merely delete.

lol

Well drwarren, don't let GoddesJules care you away from the forums. So what if the question has been asked a million times before. As Moleculor rightly pointed out, "If everyone ran a search to see if a topic had been covered before posting, the forums would eventually cease to exist."

Yes this topic of not responding to emails people send to you is discussed every few months. Do you respond to the email? Should you respond? “I can’t respond because I get too many! It is just plain courtesy to respond. I try to respond to as many as I can. Why should I respond if they haven’t bothered to read my profile?” are just some of the many responses people have to this topic.

Unfortunately, there isn't a rule that people have to follow. Some will respond, others won't. It can be a bit annoying and frustrating at times but it is part of being on-line. You can't legislate manners just like you can't for good taste. To get upset over those people who don't respond to your emails is a waste of time of those who do.

Some issue are worth revisiting. Rejection is a part of life that isn't unique to BDSM. It will happen on matchmaker dot com, b dot com, yahoo personals dot com. . .it might happen over the phone, snail mail, and in person. This topic has been revisted over, and over, and over, and over again. Making new threads about it doesn't seem to encourage those that aren't going to respond to respond. I can't see how grown men can make such a big issue about someone not returning an email. . .as if this is some UNHEARD of phenomenon. Would it be nice if people returned emails? Yes. It would also be nice if all the yummy foods didn't have fat or calories. It would also be nice if that tsunami didn't kill all those people. It would be nice if we didn't have to pay taxes.

Anyway, Happy New Year

We all have the right to make a choice in replying to each and every email, or NOT replying ... for whatever reason we see as fitting. i answer any and all who write and have noble intentions. Just because you have taken the time to write doesn't mean a person HAS to reply. Sure it's courteous to reply back, and when you send an email the person on the other end has the very same right to choose not to reply ... regardless. Stop whining, you could have sent at least 3 more emails in the time it took you to read my reply just now [8D] !!! hehe ..

Seriously, lighten up a bit ... just have fun ... there are far too many reasons why a person may choose not to reply ... including the fact that their Master/Lady may even forbid them to do so. [;)]

omg. Is he serious?? Does he think all possible topics imaginable have already been discussed on the forum? Someone needs to start a new thread in his honor & call it: The most ridiculous post of the day thread.

If more members searched the archives topics already discussed on the boards it would weed out the lazy ones as well as those who are simply out to 'up' their post counts, --just to point out two benefits which may result.

In fact, just for the fun of it, i will go right now and prove your theory wrong Moleculor. i'm going to start a new thread that does not exist in the "Polls & Other Random Stupidity Section".

Replying to an email can be a bad thing too...ever been hacked?...........



domtimothy46176 -> RE: Email Courtesy (1/1/2005 10:04:11 PM)

I don't choose to spend my time writing to submissives in the hope of getting a response from someone who may be looking for something completely different from what I have to offer. However, IMNSHO, a submissive who lacks the basic courtesy to respond to an e-mail would not be someone I was interested in anyway. For those who do initiate correspondance, consider it a filtering device. Who wants to pursue a relationship with someone who can't be bothered to engage in basic courtesy?

kitten0524 -> RE: Email Courtesy (1/3/2005 7:26:26 PM)

I try to respond to everyone who emails me, if just to say "Thanks for your response. Sorry, but I'm not interested." (I usually word it more politely than that.)

There are some folks who can't take a hint, or can't handle rejection. I have received numerous very rude responses, have been accused of being a "fake" or a "wannabe", even a liar. Is it really so hard to believe that someone is just not interested?

Maybe this has something to do with why some don't respond at all. Maybe they just don't want to risk the hassle?

Of course ... some of the unbelievably retarded screen names these guys come up with are appalling. Seriously, how many of you ladies will take a guy seriously who has a screen name like "Big94U" or "Loves2LickU"?


*chuckles*

Oh I don't know..........those names referring to licking me always get my quick reply............ [:-][:'(][:-]

The only ones I respond even faster to are the emails that start with -- ON YOUR KNEES WHILE YOU'RE READING THIS SLUT, I AM YOUR MASTER.

Please catch me while I swoon at the thought. [:'(][:'(]
