I have spoken to at least (2) or more Providers (who I have met in public) and I say to them, "I have PM'd you but I never heard from you?" Their response was:
"I don't read my PM's because I get so many nasty ones or so many bullsh** ones"
So I am thinking to myself, what a waste. These ladies use PM's for business but if they are afraid to read them or will not read them, I have a bad attitude because I think "Who does she think she is?" and she won't read them because they are "rude, vulgar and nasty".
She won't use ECCIE anymore and I don't get to meet her:
#8 - Misuse of our Private Messaging system will result in consequences. You are not to spam members using the PM system. You are not to send invitations to other sites using our PM system. You are not to harass others using our PM system.
If some jerk sends you a nasty, vulgar PM..Let your local MOD know.
