Rambling Rosie's Retreat

Will you please check pm?
Ok it's Xmas Eve so I'm going to reply but I'm going to do it here.

You have just sent me a message saying you understand I don't like pm's from people I don't know, yet you sent one anyway.
You said you didn't expect a reply then posted in my thread to basically tell anyone who might read it that you're waiting for a response.

You don't get points for acknowledging my request but then expecting me to ignore it. My request is there for good reasons.

If you are genuinely looking to make connections here I recommend making the effort to actually get to know people.

I can't stop you from reading my thread but I will ask that you not contact me again

The holiday newbies are always an interesting breed. 👀

I just joined yesterday, i didn't understand how these threads works. That's why I typed hello here also. And also messaged you privately. I really don't know to impress people here and make connections.
I'm sorry again.


It was absolute bullshit anyway. He totally understands how it works. He acknowledged he understood Rosie's position, but decided it didn't apply to him. And is now playing the dicktim...

Don't get discouraged
Just be respectful and read profiles first
It's like hopping a fast moving train, run alongside until you gauge the speed, if you can grasp the handle it may pull you in
I disagree... I hope he's discouraged. He did read her profile first. He had no intention of joining in, or getting to know people.

I was a "Holiday Newbie," when I started. I just realized I missed my Lit anniversary, December 20th. But I didn't start posting in the "fun" side of Lit (outside the Author's Hangout) until the last day of February.

So I suppose that makes me an interesting breed. At least I am interesting...
 
I am gullible
I appreciate those who call out these bots or people or whatever they are.
I try to help if it's an honest mistake but am often wrong.
I really don't understand what they are trying to gain
Deleting my part to help clean up Rosie's thread. I'll delete this one too after a few.
My first "poof", so many firsts today
Assuming people are posting in good faith doesn't mean you're gullible.

Most of the time I just ignore that kind of message and move on but as he kept posting I felt the need to address it.

Usually a spammer like that is playing the numbers game. Write to lots of people at the same time and hope something sticks. It's annoying as fuck but maybe it works. Who knows.

Anyway. I want this place to continue being a chill space so let's all just move on and think of nice things ahead 😊

Happy Litversary 😊

You definitely are interesting!

Maybe you misunderstood the Holiday Newbie label? I mean people who only show up for the 3 days they're off work around a holiday, usually create a new persona, post things like that ^ and disappear. You stuck around and participated and acclimated to this sexy dumpster fire. Sorry, you're not a Holiday Newbie. You're just a Litster ;)

Happy Litversary!

I was a newbie at the holiday, heh.

I actually was waiting for my divorce to be filed before I created a username. I had been reading and helping a friend edit for years before. A minor neurosis at best.

You're not gullible. You are less cynical than an old cunt like me, and that in itself is a good thing.

The other thing to say is that I'm opinionated, but weirdly I'm not always right (I know, hard to believe and I had to pause and think on that 🤔). You chose to see the good in people today. Unfortunately a) he caught me after I'd had a public toilet accident & b) chose to be a cunt to one of the nicest people on lit so I was less forgiving.

The key thing for me was intent. He knew what he was doing. He admitted he knew what he was doing. He tried to claim he didn't know what he was doing...

You keep being you mate. You're cool
