Question: should we reply if they initiate contact? Or is that understood to be IoN (Illusion of Normalcy) only, and not to be confused with genuine human discourse?

LOL, I'm not even talking about that kinda correspondence, hon. Those are fine, and even mutual back and forth with gents we might have something in common with are fine as well! Better than fine!

I'm strictly referring to those who contact us, never make an appointment, and start pushing for lotsa personal info, insights, or even naughty stories. Huge difference between the two scenarios. I enjoy when a gent contacts me and tells me his thoughts or has something to share, even if he doesn't make an appointment, but there's a line. Ya know?

Sing it with me:

Lines, lines, everywhere a line
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the lines?


Clearly I struggle with lines. So thank you for clarifying, Max.

However, others think because they have no boundaries, it's perfectly A-OKay to impose their wills on those who might. It is what it is.

Until those folks learn for themselves to actually see "lines", or even connect dots, they will never understand how they are not quite gettin' it right, either for themselves or others. Ain't it fun watchin' others flounder, while actually rollin' around in the muck, livin' in the "It's all about ME!", world?

My answer? No, no it's not. Kinda painful to watch.. and maybe why I come and go here. I'm no tough guy. Let's not confuse that with being unable to hold my own. I'm not exactly a helpless little yes girl, now am I? <~~~ rhetorical question! LOL

Is this the reason you haven't answered any of me emails, PMs, texts, Facebook friend requests, Twitter thingies, etc.??

Haven't ya heard, I talk back! Now that I'm sort of a grown up, I know that I can, but shhhhh, don't tell my Mom I said that....k? I've found it to be great fun! LOL

I rarely ignore anyone, cause I know everyone here is worth consideration, until they show they are not.

Only very few have ever made the do not respond list, and last I checked, you sure weren't on it!
