Whispers

25 Aug 2006

We are either amused or embarrassed by whispers that go astray. Perhaps we can give these accidents their individual nicknames.
I suggest a whisper that gets broadcast to the whole room usually because the recipient has left gets called a hoarse whisper. A whisper that someone repeats to the whole room to embarrass the sender could be a stage whisper. What about a whisper that goes to the wrong person? A Chinese whisper? What about the public post that turns into a whisper because you are perving their profile?
Any thoughts, alternatives, improvements?

Yes...one of my whispers went public (finger trouble...) -had an immediate response from someone else in the room that I hadn't got that particular activity on my profile....phew!!

god you guys you atarsting SH soap here im fascinated biggrin

I thought I'd slightly hi-jack this thread rather than start a new one. This is more a steam room post than anything but there isn't one in here yet.
A little while ago a guy got very arsey with me for pasting a whipser he'd sent into the main room. He said I had no right to do it and would not let the subject lie. I'd already asked several times for people not to wisper to me. I tried to explain that it was like being in a pub and having people coming up to you and talking in your ear while you were trying to have a conversation. He said it was nothing like that as, if that were the case, the people in the room would know who you were whispering to. He said I should just ignore them if I wasn't interested.
I was in my usual room last night, the whispers started, I asked for people not to twice, and then pasted the subsequent whispers in the room. The guys who'd whispered then appologised but this guy starts having a go at me again. He wasn't abusive enough to report to an op, which is almost a shame.
I suppose I'm just wondering if I'm over-reacting, if he has a point? And would like a few more views - from either side - on the subject.

IMHO... this guy has no right to whisper you without your permission - if he choses to ignore the rules then he forfeits any 'rights' he may have about what you do with that whisper.

31 Aug 2006

Whispering without permission is not permitted....
Aside from anything else its bloody bad manners....
If this person persists then please note room names and times and report them to an op or to admin so it may be investigated...
Usually when a chatter gets a little reminder from admin to adhere to the rules it serves to calm them down a bit.... smile

Thanks Steve, the thing is I don't think he was abusive enough to report - he just had a bit of an attitude, and I was just wondering if it was me over-reacting or not.

H-x, I have encountered several people since joining SH that always manage to stay justthe right side of the AUP. You feel incensed by their behaviour, but when writing it down in black and white it feels like others will see it like you could be over-reacting.
I don't think you are over-reacting, purely because you have always come across to me as a very fair and level-headed person. Even if you were being dramatic, he shouldn't have been whispering you in the first place.
Ignore him, would be my advice.

In my view people do overreact and look ridiculous in the process. Also, to be fair the fella is right. It is nothing like the pub at all.
God knows why people get arsey about them. Its just another high horse thing - something to moan about from what i can see.

You're quite right Steve, but what really irritates me is when some female members keep saying in the room over and over every two or three lines "no whispers please" or "please stop whispering me" and when I ask them to name them in the room or post the whisper so I can have a quiet word with them about it, the fems "oh it doesn't matter" or "I'll just ignore them"
So why bother keep saying in the room no whispers? Why not just ignore them instead of drawing attentiion to themselves and not want anything done about it?
Personally these fems are not doing anyone else a favour because if the guys who do it are the same ones all the time and they usually are, at least if they were advised of the rules, it may stop them whispering someone else confused

Personally I don't mind people whispering me without asking if they are polite or want to ask advice etc.
It's the ones who whisper "got any knickers on tonight babe" or such that I will have words with. It's base and unnecessary.
Would these guys walk into a bar and approach a woman and ask her that sort of question? They'd soon find a hand across their faces if they did I'm sure :?

I'm guessing when you go in a chat room you aren't getting one whisper after another? rolleyes

It's against the rules AND extremely annoying/borring/tedious/sad.

May I ask if you've been in this situation - on the receiving end? When a room is quite full and busy it tends to move quite fast anyway but when every other line is an unwanted whisper it does tend to get quite tedious.
Not only that but I'd think that if I'd made it apparent that I didn't want whispers, why would a guy think he's going to get anywhere with me by doing something I've already asked, repeatedly and politely, for him not to do? Is he just doing it to annoy? To get a rise out of me? In which case I feel completely within my rights to think him a bit of an arse.

Want to send the boys round?
:kick:
Sounds like the bloke is a dick. If you've requested that people don't whisper, and they do, then go right ahead and reprint their whispers - you wouldn't be able to if they didn't initiate it, so I'd say you're well within your rights and doing the right thing...
H-x whispers: Yum Steve, you're lovely, when can I jump in my van and whisk you away for a dirty week in the south of France?

Sorry but whispering uninvited is just plain bad manners to me.

You are not over reacting it is common practice to do this in the rooms i use too.
Some blokes just can't take a hint or even a direct public request not to whisper well its their problem.

them. It takes longer to paste that nonsense and then argue. Yes I have by the way been subject to some prolonged unwanted whispers and I just laugh. Its just childish on both sides as far as I can see. I guess my bugbear is the polar oppposite of yours. Why give them time when its busy? Its not a race after all. In the end he wants to fuck you not steal your heart, so is he worth the bother?
Taking ther moral high ground on an issue like this, when this site advocates dogging (which people dont like, get offended by and is very likely illegal - very similar to the issues you mention earlier) is a bit hypocritical in my view.
Just a personal opinion and one i do find amusing.
Each to their own i guess.
Take care.

If you advocate ignoring these types of situations... why are you replying? dunno

Also you can't choose who whispers and who doesn't, you can however choose whether to visit the dogging section or not. :doh:
I find your 'arguments' show a lack of insight and are weak, to put it politely.
Each to their own I guess rolleyes

I do see your point, yes it is easier to ignore, but it would be easier still if they didn't do it in the first place. And if they really are out to fuck me, and this is the bit I really don't understand, why repaetedly do something that's going to piss me off?
Dogging may be illegal but it still should be done with a certain amount of good manners, if someone was out dogging and a guy got in the car without asking it would be a little rude, would it not? I don't think this is moral highground, just good manners. Just because I'm in a chat room on a swing site does not give someone the right to whisper to me that they want to fuck me up the arse, and then have a go at me for pasting the whisper in the room, as if I'm supposed to just sit there and take it.
