I just checked. You can go to UserCP>Options and check "Receive Private Messages only from Buddies and Moderators". I don't know if there is a limit on buddies, though.

You can't have too many buddies if you ask me!

Not that anyone was asking...

I'll go back to my corner now...

BJ probably wishes she had one less right now.

Y'know, I was looking at your avatar. I know poker's your game (and I shall avoid making the obvious jokes about that), but I was wondering—do you and Amy ever play Go Fish?
 
I think there is an option to only receive PMs from persons you have designated "buddies." That's kind of the equivalent of explicit identification filters for spam. You'd have to go through and mark everyone you want to receive PMs from as buddies, which is a pain, but it would block the asshat.

Of course, if you still have anonymous feedback on for your stories, they can send you anonymous e-mails. It's kinda if you make things easy for comments, you make it easy for dickheads.

My advice (which is easy for me to give and probably would be more difficult even for me to follow) is to pity the person and ignore the PMs. I can't recall ever seeing anybody be quite so abjectly pathetic before. Tiresome, but weirdly fascinating.

This is good advice, but I really don't want to limit myself to only people I know. I've gotten lovely anonymous feedback, and often made nice new friends because I accept PM's from anyone.

*sigh* I know. Sticks and stones. But I wasn't in the mood this week to realize that from here on in, my PM box is a potential daily minefield.

I'll deal. I will. I just needed to vent. sorry.

eta: the only part that really annoyed me was the accusation that the PFD was empty because of me. Please help me disprove this. Somehow.

Yeah, we play Strip Go Fish, but Amy cheats. She always "goes fishing" even if she has a match. (Not that I'm complaining!) You should see us play Hi - LO or Texas Hold'em too! :D

And thank you Tz, you are the FIRST person on this site who commented on those cards. Those particular cards mean a lot to me because that is the hand with which I won the biggest pot of my professional career. I shouldn't have, but I stayed in a hand with the ace of hearts and drew a Royal Straight Flush against a full house and a four of a kind. My RSF against two people who were sure they had won and two rich dumbasses who stayed for bragging rights. :D

(Thank you Poker Goddess :rose:)

No need to apologize for venting. Venting is its own reward. Smack that keyboard. Smack it hard.

The PFD empties regularly for reasons that have nothing to do with you. People die. People get bored. People find some other, better place to interact.

People leave for whatever reason.

Could maybe someone have left because they found you irritating? Of course.

But let me just note that the person apparently most irritated by you is still here. Being obnoxious. Interpret that as you may.

Not everyone will like you, m'dear. Way things are.

Not everyone will like your poems, either. Or any of them. Way it goes.

Amy is an intelligent woman and I would expect no less from her.

Royal Flush, eh? (I reserve judgment about the "straight.")

I was just idly thinking about, what is that—Queen of Hearts? And some Ace?

I mean, not that I am playing the same game as you all, but still. Pleasant to think about.

Drawing to an inside straight, for example. Though I never have such luck.

You play cards professionally? I'm impressed.
 
I suspect being the h8r of all work that he is, he'd simply use any clay anything for skeet practice.
Being your basic Commie liberal, I oppose the Private Ownership of Firearms. Damn that Second Amendment! Damn it!

It's just wrong.

However, that being said, my bullets are all reserved for you (note: this statement was left intentionally ambiguous as to referring to Champie or BJ, both of whom I might, given the right and proper circumstances, fire Tzarist bullets at, if you catch my drift.)

I forget. What was the discussion topic?

What? Hello?

as far as i can see, no one else has co-signed on that sentiment. honestly, you can't give it any merit. this accusation, coming from someone who finds you so contemptable, they create multiple alts, just to spend time with you.
darlin', if that ain't flattery.....:rolleyes:

people come and go of their own accord. real life happens around internet play time, sometimes, dissolves it. people get busy, lose interest, and yes, they get pissy and walk too. so be it. but i hardly think the bistro reached 300+ pages because you make being here unbearable.

I make a poitn of occassionally asking my friends what the scuttlebutt going around about me consists of. There's a coupe of reasons, and damage control is one of them, but the biggest is that I get a giggle from it. I can be an absoulte utter asshole at times, and, as a result, there are people that don't like me. I'm a big, scary asshole apparrently, as very few of these people will admit their dislike to my face. So this means much scuttlebutt about the Homburg (when I choose to be social).

I like it though. It totally strokes my (already inflated) ego. Why? Because I have modified those who hate on me. I have grabbed them somewhere deep and forced them to waste precious seconds of their life that they'll never get back kvetching bitterly about how much of a dick I am.

For those moments, I own them. It pleases me that they're getting minutes closer to death ranting uselessly about me.

Sometimes, the bitching is funny. I don't own em at that point, but I still like it. Why wouldn't I? I've brought a modicum of humour into their lives, and that is worthwhile too.

In short, give me good press or bad press, just make sure you spell the name right.
