QualityFirst -> Deleted unread (5/7/2016 7:35:01 PM)

It happens that one of my sent messages gets the status "deleted unread".

As one can read the first part of a message without selecting it, by just moving their mouse pointer to the message, I suppose these people delete messages unread based on some content of the first part of a message that doesn't please them. In my case, it is probably my age (63 years old), which I mention most of the time at the beginning of a message when presenting myself.

On the one hand, I admire women who realize that, by causing my message to get a status of "deleted unread", they very well know how to hurt my feelings.

On the other hand, I feel it is a sad reaction. I prefer people who at least read my message. And I prefer even more the rare people who answer with "No, thank you".

How far has the lack of elementary respect for each other come, when people just delete a message unread? Is this the BDSM world, into which mutual respect is supposed to be evident?

I have no idea where you got the idea that there's more mutual respect in the BDSM world. People are shitty no matter what lifestyle/community/whatever that you're into. And don't assume they hovered over your message either. There's a good chance you got put in the "bulk mail" folder due to age, location or some other reason and then simply deleted in bulk along with everyone else.

Consider a few things:

No one owes you a blessed thing. That's some sense of entitlement you're rocking there. People have lives. They may be too busy to bother with an individual reply to every inappropriate (even if polite) email.

Location. Age. Sexual preference. Orientation. I could go on... Get the picture?

Also a very good point made by @TheRomanticDomme;

This isn't some magical land where the trials and tribulations of the vanilla world suddenly cease to exist. In fact, they're magnified here. To the power of ten. Don't be offended. It's life. Move on.

You do not understand one simple fact: women get bombarded with emails, sometimes hundreds of them a day.
If they were to spend just a few seconds with a "thanks but no thanks" reply that could take hours a day.

That your feelings are actually hurt says you are much too emotionally invested in each email, with women you haven't yet met.

I am one of the women who deletes 95% of the messages as deleted unread.

My policy on email doesn't have anything to do with you. In the grand scheme of things, I think you should realize it doesn't have anything to do with your feelings. This is not the EEO or any kind of charity. People don't owe you anything just because you decided to bang out of few key strokes. If you believe they do, I would put you to the task of answering all of the junk mail that arrives to you via post for the next year. All of those grocery coupons, insurance offers, and sales circulars wrote to you, too, right? When you write back to all of them for a year, I'll answer your email.

Everyone does it so, it must be the right thing.

What a bunch of undiluted bullshit.

Isn't it past your over-inflated sense of entitlement's bedtime Michael?

Peace and comfort.

I'm glad you said that. I was wondering what the hell you meant!

That's the key point, for me. It saves a lot of grief on all sides when you can get that together.




freedomdwarf1 -> RE: Deleted unread (5/8/2016 2:02:24 AM)

Here's a whole 16-page thread dealing with exactly this problem -

It might be prudent for you to read it all to save us all repeating ourselves... again.





BondageersT -> RE: Deleted unread (5/8/2016 2:24:29 AM)

JUST DO NOT CHECK.

I'm not sure it's terribly fair to use that one, FD. While an excellent example of those who are touched in the head, we don't want to put that off on everyone. [;)]

A thought on this subject came to me just a moment ago. I wonder how many folks screen their calls via caller ID? I can say that I do. (Some people on this thread already know this.) If a person's number isn't entered in my contact list, I'm really not picking up because I have no interest in whatever the other party is 'cold calling' (it's a telemarketing term) me about. I already have car insurance, a long distance carrier, make my charitable contributions as I see fit, or any other thing that a person that I don't know might be contacting me about. If I wanted to buy what a person was selling, I'd contact them.





LilJuly76 -> RE: Deleted unread (5/8/2016 3:54:48 AM)

some very good points here, I just deleted a message this morning that I got last night, someone just sent me his email, like what in the heck am I supposed to do with that?

Good points LP.
But not everyone has 'caller ID' - I don't and not many over here do (it's not a commonly available feature).
But I do that on my cell phone tho. I don't answer witheld numbers and if it's someone I don't want to speak to, they'll get answered the first time and I save their number with a 'no entry' sign by their name so that next time I let it ring.

Back to the topic, the thread I linked to started off with that person being all butt-hurt because he felt that he deserved a reply - which was pretty much what OP was alluding to here with his comment "...by causing my message to get a status of "deleted unread", they very well know how to hurt my feelings".
Several on here said that the sense of self-entitlement and thin skin implies that OP invested far too much emotion into an email to an unknown internet entity.

The butt-hurt continued with "How far has the lack of elementary respect for each other come, when people just delete a message unread?".
Just prior to that, he says "I prefer people who at least read my message. And I prefer even more the rare people who answer with "No, thank you""
There have been several threads all over the place where women have extensively explained that a rejection reply often causes even more grief than they want or need from such men.

I know the thread drifted quite a bit but I felt it was quite poignant and addressed OP's question.




Lucylastic -> RE: Deleted unread (5/8/2016 4:27:49 AM)

Ive started to do the same. Delete unchecked, unless its someone from the forum side.
I neither have the time or inclination to go thru messages when Im not even looking.




angelikaJ -> RE: Deleted unread (5/8/2016 5:37:16 AM)

Just because you personally disagree with something doesn't make it wrong. [;)]

You can check the box next to the message, save it to your inbox, read the entire thing, and decide if it's an asswipe and delete it unread.
