Am I the only one here who seems to get an awful lot of PMs from conservatives/libertarians/religious people of various persuasions who start out with a "I just want to reach out to you" or "hear me out" or "I want you to understand where I'm coming from" and then when you blow big gaping holes in their bizarre arguments, they get all angry and tell you that you're stupid and have no soul and they're putting you on ignore and will refuse to read any more messages from you and basically throw a temper tantrum like the one most kids throw when they find out there isn't a Santa Claus?


Or does that happen to you all? :shock: :?: :?


it happens to you all right?





right? :|

    For such an otherwise nice guy I do seem to ruffle an awful lot of feathers.

    unfortunately there are still way too many people that are bothered by homosexuality...given that the average pearl jam fan is in their early 30's, this is sad

    I think it's more my extreme angry liberal warrior vegan thing.

    And it's kinda depressing to know that I'm sitll older than the average Pearl Jam fan. :cry:

    Yeah, I agree. For what ever reason, I only get PMs from people who like me.

    I don't get any PM's from AMT people. It could be that you're the most accessible, openly gay person they have contact with.

    I like that the average fan's age is in the 30's (at least it seems that way). At PJ 20 nearly everyone I met was around 30 and into the band <10 years. It shows they're still relevant.

    Nope.
    What usually happens to me when I get a nasty PM from a stupid fucking numbnut whose opinion I really don't give a flying fuck about... I just tell them I don't give a flying fuck about opinions from stupid fucking numbnuts I don't give a flying fuck about.
    Then, I delete their next reply without opening it.

    Whatever works for you, bud.

    I just wish there was a way to let them know that I just delete their unread replies... like a 'Return To Sender' response.

    Look at it this way Prince, that's why I hang around here-- to makes guys like you look younger... and it gives people like me the opportunity to pretend we are younger.

    Right?

    Wait... what were we talking about?

    I was just trying to tell you that your ways are evil because a 2,000 year old book about an invisible man in the clouds says so.

    Geez. Just trying to help.
