    Default Dont people get it?!

    Okay I need to rant lol..

    You log onto msn.. people msg you but you just close the window and dont respond.. and the person keeps msging with 'hello' or 'you there?' 'why arnt you answering?'. Now im ALWAYS in away on msn so who knows if im really there lol.. but yea dont they get the hint when you dont reply that maybe you just really are afk and i'll answer when I get back? Why keep msging over and over and over again every 3 seconds?

    Sorry.. just had to rant.. i've actually had to block a few people cuz tehy were driving me mad ahaha..

    Because they are horny and want to get off with you? It depends why you are on. If it's just general chit chat, most would go away and look for sexual chat.

    That's how chat works, as does free cam.

    Dam where did that nice photo of Miss Ashley Tyler go? Bloody bastards at photo bucket.

    Personally if I don't wanna chat, I either make myself invisible, or turn it off.

    Not sure how it works. But used to do AOL for one job, and people never found me unless i had a chat window opened, or many many friends listed.

    Either way. Go invisible if you can. Or answer only who you wish, block many...tough call. If you show as being on...well they will message you. Pain in the ass. So not worth the hassle. I had it for work, co-workers only got me. But once you hit chat rooms...there ya go.

    I used to get constantly harassed on yahoo messenger to the point I took it off my computer. For some reason I kept getting guys from other countries who wanted to hook up. I have no idea why.

    I have a friend who does that. She'll send me all these IMs on AIM "Hello?" "Where you at?" "You there?" "Are you with D?". It's nutty. Also she'll send me an IM, I'll respond and then she won't send me another IM for 20 minutes or even an hour. As soon as I say "fuck it" to myself and leave the computer she sends seven or eight rapid-fire IMs!

    If I could get it, I wouldn't be here posting on this message board.

    When I'm on MSN, I'll sit there for a bit and if no one posts I'll assume they are AFK, being held hostage, or on a secret mission for either the CIA, FBI, IRS, or NPR.

    Next time I may actually log on and see what happens.

    How odd. I have AIM and no one ever does that to me... of course, I don't accept IM's from people I don't know. Maybe it helps because only family and friends are on my buddy list.

    I just had to tell a guy to give me a moment to breathe! He got huffy. I literally just turned the computer on and he's IMing every 30 seconds!

    Love the signature there, Yekhefah. My ex had one that was Latin...it was "Vidi, Vici, Visa" which I think means "I came, I saw, I went shopping."

    I get random people who message me when I get on Yahoo chat. I try and stay invisible at all times, but people are annoying as hell on occasion. I probably don't get on there more than once a month because of all the BS from random people, I can't get anything done.

    I've been dealing with the same shit on Yahoo Im for the past 2 weeks. Funny thing is, its a chick from SW! It doesn't matter that I put "busy" or that now I'm totally invisible. I still get Im's "u there"? "I'm bored"

    Don't people know that's rude? If I have a busy status up, its the same as if the occupied light is on over the bathroom!

    This behavoir has made me want nothing to do with the person, I'm real hesitant about feeding the stalkers!

    LEAVE ME ALONE, I'M TRYING TO PUSH!!!!!

    Good one! When I was taking Latin, I had "Veni, Vidi, Dormi" on the front of my book cover - "I came, I saw, I slept." On the other side I had a little poem:

    Latin's a dead language,
    As dead as it can be.
    It killed the ancient Romans,
    And now it's killing me.

    Oh, and I assume you meant "veni, vidi, visa." What you wrote would actually mean, "I saw, I conquered, (visa)."

    This concludes your thread drift for the day. Please carry on.

    I'd say he's infinitely more likely to have gotten "it" than he would have been if you just hadn't responded and had just pondered why he hadn't gotten "it" after not telling him what "it" was.

    I think the direct approach probably works best.

Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"

    I just set my status to "away"--that way , I can message who I want, but I don't need to respond to the pests. Or, I open up with "appear offline" so they can't see me sign in, temporarily block the ones I know to be problematic, then switch my status back to "online".

    Me too. Not because of Swimfan.. but... It takes a rare....extremely rare person to convince me to IM.

    Am I alone in the universe because people typing sexual innuendos at me leave me a bit.... uncomfortable? This thread indicates otherwise... Right? I mean... it really does NOTHING for me... and I lack the patience to type just for someone else.....
