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.

Why didn't you say anything?

I thought you were trying to sell me Amway. Sorry I said that about your mom.

I don't usually visit here...I don't care to get into heated debates about whatever political stance someone wants to twist up into a bunch of poppycock.

I got one PM from a thread that should have gone here...it was long winded, gave me about 20 links, personal experiences...and the person was ON MY SIDE.

The most interesting part? They had signed up the same day they sent me the PM... :crazy:

I replied and it's still sitting in my 'outbox'...3 months later. They haven't come back to the board since. The internet is full of freaks.

That's creepy, why in the world people who only knows you through what you write in the board would want to change you?

I don't get them
Mine have all been warm friendly messages of support on subjects I have raised on subjects close to my heart
Not religous, political stuff

Sorry, I get no PM's from them. I think its more the fact that your openly gay......some on here I'm sure have a real hard time with that.

No pun intended.

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.

Vegan? Now that's the abomination

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?

I love it when I receive a pm and their 'incoming' is turned off... can't reply :?
its like being at the end of a prank phone call

whats up with that?

I get wonderful pms... kind and loving
and have learned to ignore those I know are abrasive ...
who needs that on top of all the crap in life?

I don't normally initiate pms cause I'm shy and feel like I would be intruding maybe.

I think you can be a really funny poster ... that positive side of you,
we chuckle that is good for everyone

but you can sting like a bee when it's not even called for ...
my opinion
perhaps for attention or humor gone astray not considering another's feelings kind of like
Don Rickles ... I can see someone wanting to say hey give that a rest

Ever think that these people are secretly gay and come to you for advice for how, as conservatives/libs/religious, they can make a move on a secret admirer? I mean, it's not like it's completely unlikely that they may have gay tendencies!

It's all in jest, guys, so don't get upset by my post. Just a thought.

Hm. All that missed opportunity to get some tail.

Ugh, Lost another one to GayCo.

Pretty sure it has something to do with your tone.

Some people probably can't get past that.

i get an abusive pm every once in a great while and we end up working out differences that way...

most times i just get threatened on the open forum...

Yeah, I don't think the people that disagree with me the most can figure out how to use the pm feature.
