I am not a fan of screening by phone/text for reasons such as this.
And yet I just got yelled at by a BSC crazy provider for PMing her rather than texting. She referenced an ad I hadn't seen on another site that 'recommended' screening by text. Apparently I am an "ignorant moron" and a "dumb motherfucker" for that. I politely thanked her for the self-alert.
Is there a reason that some of you ladies so greatly dislike initial contact via PM?

IDGAF if they don't like a PM. If I send a text, and include a mention that I pm'd them to confirm it is me, and they get pissy that is a quick way for me to screen as well. Seen 1 or 1000 alerts where people falsified their identity.
