git, could you stop being a jerk for even one day?I'm sorry friend, but that would be impossible. At heart I am nothing except a poor, miserable jerk. I was born a jerk and I shall die a jerk. But I do always hope in the Lord that he will cover over my multitude of sins. That's what I thought. No wonder you have no friends.

Sylvestra, How is he being harrassing?Good question!Hi Bryan, Specifics of content are not significant here.In other words she has no idea what Jesse is writing, she's just taken umbrage that a Friend would dare send her any messages privately. If I had to take a guess, (and mind you, this scenario's only a guess) I reckon Jesse's sent her a few PMs to which she has not replied. Then she's shot back a response saying "don't PM me ever again" and Jesse has asked for clarification which she's refused to give. I imagine Jesse has PM'ed back a few times asking for an explanation - "why don't you want me to PM you" and she has consistently refused to state her reasons.I have asked a number of times not to be PM'ed, and they continued after the request (and then demand) was made several times. That is harrassment enough for me! But you told me once that you just skip my posts, and all posts that challenge your worldview on the TMB. Why can't you do the same to Jesse's PM's?
Oh right. Sorry. Twilight zone moment. I'm talking to Edy who has one rule for herself and another standard for everyone else. git, could you stop being a jerk for even one day?I fail to see how git is being a jerk in this post. This is one of his nicer posts, where he actually makes sense. I guess this is one of the few times that I agree with him. I hope you are not calling him a jerk, without even reading his post, just because you have labeled him such.

Well all, the problem is solved. One of the darling ladies on here PM'd me with the solution! When you receive a PM there is a "preferences" choice at the top right of each message. Under preferences is the choice to block an individual(s) or "all". There's no way I'm going to block "all" because I use it too much! Edy

I don't get it. Not that it matters, but I get a lot of spam mail, and just delete it. Occasionally, I will use the "Opt out" method to stop the sender from sending me mail, but why would someone on here want to block someone's PMs enough to create a thread about it. This is like a mystery. An enigma. My curiosity is chaffing at me.

Does this border on libel? Smearing someones name on a public forum?

...but why would someone on here want to block someone's PMs enough to create a thread about it. This is like a mystery. An enigma. My curiosity is chaffing at me.I also find this a curious situation. My experience with Jesse Lackman have shown me that he is a thoughtful, serious guy who writes thoughtful and serious PM's. He sends me quite a number of these about a variety of topics, and although I reply only to a few, I do read them all. You've gotta wonder what the content of the PM's has been to get Edy's back up. We've had this huge discussion about PM's, and how to block them (which Jesse contributed!) and now Edy reports the matter is solved, because she has located the block feature, and can shut Jesse down. I speculate several possible reasons: 1. To create a controvesy that would make Jesse look bad. 2. To invite sympathy and support from fellow exes 3. To get public weight behind her requests 4. To invite attention and to make a fuss 5. To make the Friends look bad. I cannot really think of any other possible reasons one would go so far in their prosecution of the "block feature".

I couldn't understand why this thread was going on and on, but you have helped me understand why GIT. You and others think the PMs were about content. Not at all. I expect Jesse's PM contents were not out of line in any way at all. It's a little like this. Suppose someone you hardly know got your phone number and called you several times/day. Innocuous calls, asking about what you are doing, telling you their life story, whatever, but the calls keep coming and you have other things to do rather than attend to this person you hardly know. So, you ask them to quit calling but they keep on calling. It has nothing to do with content of the calls, but sooner or later, even you will begin to feel harassed. My son recently had a girl calling him all the time, even at 2AM, wondering what he was doing!! The content was pleasant enough, but he was getting a little distressed feeling harassed and was too polite to tell her to take a hike, so he just began to ignore her or give her no encouragement and she finally quit calling. She, on the other hand, had no idea that she was driving him off rather than building a friendship. Everyone has their personal and unique tolerance level for this. Your threshold of tolerance may be extremely high, but you do have a threshold. I think what you probably need to understand is that Edy's tolerance level is much lower than your own. A couple of PMs from a 2x2 church defender may be too much! I think I recall you not understanding when someone didn't want you phoning her. It's the same thing. Don't put yourself in their shoes, just accept that other people are different and have different levels of tolerance for different things. ...but why would someone on here want to block someone's PMs enough to create a thread about it.

I can relate to your anology, Clearday, but to me, it just doesn't fly with an email or PM. A phone call would wake me up or distract me, but a PM clearly identifies who is sending, allowing you to safely ignore it. It would have to be a hell of a harrassment for me to smear someone in public after sending me a PM.

I understand where you are coming from Brick, I feel the same, it wouldn't ever be much more than an annoyance to have to delete it. However, like GIT and others, you are superimposing yourself into Edy's shoes and neither you nor I are Edy. We all react to events differently. I can relate to your anology, Clearday, but to me, it just doesn't fly with an email or PM.

Sylvestra, I haven't sent you any e-mails, if you want to block private messages go to your private messages inbox and click "preferences" on the right, there you will find a box in which to put the names of those you don't want to recieve PMs from. Jesse Jesse, I clicked on your name box on the e-mails, and it takes me back to your account, with a list of the messages that you have posted in the past (10?) days. Do you think someone has hi-jacked your account and is posting as you? This doesn't add up to me! Or, are you the second personality of someone else and don't know when you send e-mails? E Sylvestra I did not send you any e-mails, I sent private messages. I don't know if you know but your e-mail address is public on your personal profile here - I don't want anyone to think I sent actual e-mails to you. If you did get e-mails they were not from me. ~ This problem is partly clearday's fault as I was encouraged to get to know people here and was lead to believe no one could "resist a guy who looks like Jason Lee". Well, it obviously didn't work that way and I am very sorry for bothering Sylvestra with PMs. Jesse

Honestly Jesse, I don't know what went wrong with my theory. The only thing I can think of is that you didn't send your picture along with the PM. I mean hey, everyone loves Earl Hickey even if he does mess up trying to do the right thing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- most of you people on this board are evil, and i can't wait until you get yours.... can't wait.... i have lots of love, but the spirit that comes from many of you here is pure evil... i can barely take it at all, and i have been around some evil... i realize now that taro cards and backward music, and witches, and pagans and athiests.... thats all minor little knat evil, but the spirit in here... i am tempted to call lightning from heaven, and i think i could, but thats when i realize that i just let you get to me......
but you will pay for returning love with evil. you WILL pay. of that i havent even a slight doubt.
