Some people take being ignored as an insult, perhaps a polite 'no thanks' might have been the way to go. I'm not sure that his sending you his definition of a bitch helps the situation, though. However, is it necessary to run it up the public flagpole ? Not sure that helps either. Do you have serious safety concerns for example, or is it a case of 'look at me'?
Just saying like.
thats an interesting first post. How to win friends and influence people perhaps?
Why shouldnt she speak out after being abused via PM? Is it not her prerogative to ignore a PM if she chooses, without expecting to get a nasty PM back? pretty poor show if that is the case.
I'll take that at face value. I don't approve of either course of action taken by either of the protagonists here. If a PM I send is ignored, personally I would simply let it slide. Similarly, if I were to receive a spiteful PM, which might have been written in a fit of peak, I would be inclined just to put that user on the 'pay no mind' list and get on with my life, unless of course it was extreme and threatening in its tone.
Bearing in mind some of the things that may potentially be put in PM's, which are personal/private by definition, I believe that it should be a serious matter before PM's are placed in the public spaces - dare I say it, it shows a slight lack of integrity. At the risk of generalizing myself, Ms. Whiplash's profile imagery may cause some to think she may enjoy this kind of 'banter'. Obviously this is not true in this case, and there was a spiteful intent, but I think you get the thrust (ahemm) of my argument here.
However, could I dare to suggest a little more understanding and a little less generalization might be a good thing. Debate, in of itself, is never a bad thing imho.
Respect for all is my mantra, whether you agree with them or not. Love to all.
