2683 birthdays still needed.....

July 28

typical Leo (generous, loyal; but must have some Cancer influence as well: sentimental etc.)

yuck, tooey, aaaggghhh - I will be the big 44!

Thank you, ma'am!

Our member list has grown.....I'm 2703 shy now.

Letty, I KNEW we had a common bond!!!! You are beautiful too!!!

Someone who doesn't understand fun, humor, joy, happiness etc has objected to my PMs which said

"rae wants your birth month." and had a link to this thread.

The objecters might want to try reading a message for what it is and not reacting like robots instead of humans.

As soon as they pull the stick out of where they've got it stuck. (not including Jespah who was gracious.) maybe we can have some kickiness in our lives.

Till then I shall behave.


Joe

Joe ~ you're the best.

Crazy as I am, I can still discern between......

Now where did that thought go? Jeez.

Mental hugs coming your way, sir. Get ready!

Got your PM the other day, Joe. I think we know one another well enough for that! Jeez, I didn't have to read it if I didn't want to.

JoeN, you wrote: "As soon as they pull the stick out of where they've got it stuck. (not including Jespah who was gracious.) maybe we can have some kickiness in our lives.

Oh, silly, please don't behave, they are just involved in a marplot :wink: ; please see: http://www.able2know.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9601&start=10

More hugs coming.....Be ready!

Rae, me always wants hugs ...

Joe,

As soon as you have the courtesy to not send out PMs to people who have no desire to receive your messages you can talk about other people's courtesy. Spamming through PMs is not polite and you have an inordinate sense of self-importance to think that they should just get over it.

The function is not there for any self-centered person who thinks they have a message for the whole site.

Jeez, Craven didn't you already PM me with this bit of prose?



Is it necessary to embarrass me here too?

The PM's were supposed to be fun. Not fun to some people? Fine, DON"T reply.

Huge amounts of complaints? I sent a total of nine. count em nine.

that may be huge where you come from but brother, where I live it's picayune.

Please, accept this abject apology for any offense if that is acceptable from the likes of me. pssshhsssssbbbbllaaahhh!

Joe

Joe,

It was not necessary to post anything here until you came here and lied. It was not "one" person. I just deleted your PM, it didn't bother me. But it bothered others and they complained about it.

I asked you not to do this and your response was that because you are sending them one at a time your bulk private messaging did not deserve to be curtailed.

Now you are posting my private messages to you here and frankly I am altogether unconcerned about your games and requests for me to put it nicely to you.

Don't do it. That's all there is to it. If you don't want it discussed here then don't bring it up.

And no, you did not just send nine.

Incidentally because of your inconsiderate spamming by PMs I am spending time altering the system to include a warning above the PM box telling people not to spam.

So while you justify your "just in fun" spamming it generates work for me.

Well, this is a trifle idiotic isn't it? I sent nine PM's, (I stand by that, I just recounted the ones in my outbox. I think Craven is counting some friendly replies as more than the nine.) each was done one at a time, (I don't know if there is a way to PM everybody, and wouldn't do that if there was,) five of them were to people I do know and four, I admit were to strangers asking for them to volunteer their birthmonth to this thread and that's all

then

this crap falls from the sky onto my head.

So I am not going to tread on the dangerous ground of birthmonths anymore, I'm sticking to Iran, Iraq and the USA, Gay rights, Media issues and little known limericks.

At least there, I have freedom of speech.

BTW: my PM function, can you believe it, has been frozen.

I'm not embarassed, but someone sure should be.

Joe

Joe,

I aksed you to stop sending mass PMs and your response was that they were not "mass" because you were sending them out one at a time. If you agree not to do so I have no problem with restoring it.

And just to let you know you have no "freedom of speech" here. This is a privately owned and operated site and that law has no application here. I am under no obligation to allow you "freedom of speech" to spam people.

And quit the lie about it just being nine. The outbox is where messages that haven't been sent go so your above post is even more obviously false.

I meant sentbox sorry.

Say Please.

And I have to say that this has been an experience that could have been avoided complely by a cogent explanation of net etiquettete, or the etiquettete of this site with which I was not familiar.
See Jespah's note.
I am not an idiot, please don't treat me as one.
"The likes of you"
Simply not an acceptable tone by someone who does not know me.
Who do you think you are? I think I am a respected member of this forum, does that mean nothing to you?

Thank you.

Joe

Joe,

My first PM to you said please. It was the very first word in the PM.

I asked you nicely not to send such messages, the next day I get more complaints about them.

Then you claim that it's not "mass" because you are sending them one at a time. Then here on this thread you say it's because I have a stick up my ass.

Now that may well be true but as you can imagine people with sticks up their bums don't appreciate the aggravation of dealing with this type of problem.

I already said please. Your response was to call me names here, say your PMs are ok to send, post my PMs to you, and now ask for another "please".

When you do this, it makes me less inclined to be polite to you. I was polite to you initially and you decide to play games.

Might I make a constructive suggestion?

Why not just post in the General forum with a link to this thread and request that people come here to post their birth month and day?

Much more efficient manner of broadcasting the message to just as many members and doesn't tax the PM system or the nerves of folks who are ultra sensitive to spam mail.
