EnglishEm's brought up an interesting point in her "Why don't guys talk to other guys on lit?" thread.

She says if someone replies to you, you oughta reply. What's more, you're rude if you don't reply.
I say: it's lit. Do as you please. We're here because this is not real life.

But let me ask you: are they being rude? More importantly, do you care if you post and are ignored?

Internet rudeness is more the norm now? So we should just accept it? Its more polite to respond to someone who has taken the time to say anything to you at all. Thats all. Why make such a take issue of it. Go on and spread the common internet rudeness if thats what you want. Or take the high road and respond when you can, its friendlier, even if its just to say fuck off. I think I've recieved that a time or two. Its a choice, don't get bent out of shape about it. Of course I like how your shape is bent. No one will be perfect at it. But in general, its obvious if you are or not. Have an excellent day Tek. Nice buns, btw

Really? it's friendly to say "fuck off"? How about if you're taught to be nice you're not really taught to say that, as it might offend some one.


But, OK. :rolleyes: FUCK OFF with your bun comments!:rolleyes::D

Sometimes people don't respond because they don't realize someone posted back, especially if they are on that age old "dial-up" system. It can take forever for threads to load between posts. Sometimes folks don't respond because they know that the other person is just posting in order to start some sort of debate and/or argument, other times people don't respond because they simply have a life and can't post back and forth doing the whole "goodbye-have a good day" on every thread they were on and then go back to make sure someone responded back to say "goodbye-you have a good day too. See you when you get back, okay?"

It's rude if you take it personal, it's not rude if you didn't mean to make it personal.

That's a comment I agree with. However, let me ask you this: can I discern the other person's motive? I honestly can't, unless they make it explicit (<offtopic>and, this being lit, it can get very explicit :D</offtopic>). I can only discern my own feelings....
 
I see what you did there, you rude bastard! :)


How's the new sig pic working out for you?


It worked out wonderfully for a while then decided the faded words made it a little more work to read for those that were truly interested in understand what was written so reverted back. Thanks for your help though...and the reference.

*chuckles* I don't come to Lit. to get naked anymore, but thank you for the offer. :kiss:

That's why only you can take it personally, if you chose to, unless someone blatantly points out their ignoring you by posting to someone else in the thread and purposely referring to you in their post as ignoring you - make sense? or did I just confuse myself? :eek:

Hahaha. I thought that still looked faded. I was starting to worry that you might not have gotten my email.

...as if people are on Lit to read....;)

I'm confused? :confused: can we go to the dirty talking thread then? I won't bite you much? Enjoying your stroll back in the PG? :D

lol... Confused? Sorry, I do that to folks sometimes, confuse them. I'll pass on the dirty talk for now and for the most part I am glad to stroll back in, even for a short visit.

It's like a gentle contentment coming back to Lit., reflection on the past and a sense of peace that all is well with the world. I'm sure little butterflies and doves of peace and tranquility are floating about here somewhere. :rolleyes:

JEEBUS! You have 95 thousand posts!!
And does being 4 houses away from the sheriff actually mean you're in jail?

You know that can't be all that comfortable - men get hot and sweaty, sticky and well scratchy? You can't really just grab it and wrap the cloth around yourself whenever you feel like it. Not to mention that swinging package just moving around all free and open has to be distracting.
