Real_Trouble -> RE: that's just rude! (3/30/2008 4:40:48 PM)

Velvetluxe,
I'm with you half way.

Some viewers might think I'm taking this too personally, but I find it incredulous that someone would not only make those assumptions from nothing more than my profile but also go to the trouble of sending me rude missives. Sorry, had to vent and wanted to know if I'm being too sensitive.
I definitely agree that sending you rude messages is rather uncalled for. I mean, if people are genuinely fake, then being rude to them is unlikely to dissuade them. Conversely, if someone is not fake, then being rude to them is likely to only annoy someone who they might have liked.
However, making the assumption or being cautious I think is actually quite intelligent. The vast majority of people lie (quite a bit) to make themselves look better; I am constantly on guard for that alone, much less the stranger ones who either copy or create completely fake personas online.
My basic assumption is that everyone I see on here is that they are actually a chimpanzee until proven otherwise, which I realize is a terrible insult to chimps everywhere. I hope they forgive me.
But yes, that's a level of rude that approaches untenable for this context. It shouldn't be surprising, though. Online + People = Asshattery. That is fact.
