Coming across a remark meant for me to see but not knowing it's there until after the topic closes so I can't reply. I don't visit many topics at all, and just sometimes will look at another if there's not much that's new. I think tagging me will give me a notification so maybe use that? This conflict can also be remedied with a Personal Message. 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might not be a public apology, but it will get to the person personally. If they have PM's on! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Zhaoying Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Peeve: I lack comprehension. It wasn't clear if @Persephone Emerald was referring to "PM's" in Second Life itself, or on the Forums. Hopefully, the answers and discussion ("take it to PM's") is still on-topic whichever was meant! Peeve: When you block someone because of drama, and they get confused because they cannot "in-box" you, then say they would prefer discussing their topic in private messages then on the Forum. HELLO, MAKE UP YOUR MIND! lol (you like me or you don't) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone Emerald Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) @Love Zhaoying I was referring to PMs for the forum. If someone wants to block those, that's their right. We are not obligated to continue an online conversation, unless perhaps it's with a moderator. If someone is being argumentative or rude toward me publically, I certainly don't feel obligated to continue such a conversation privately. At least in public one has witnesses to what is said.

To be blunt, my Peeve was: If someone would prefer I communicate with PM's, it implies they don't trust me to "be nice and stay on topic" in their thread! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Legion Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 There are times when it is best to go to PMs and times when airing it all in public is best. One does not need to shut off PM functionality to avoid problematic users sending them either - one can block specific users from sending PMs. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually didn’t know that 😆 saw this meme on TikTok a few times in relation to various “surprises” and never failed to extract a laugh out of me. Not sure why! Maybe the stuff it refers to is usually a laugh or cry type of situation… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One does not need to shut off PM functionality to avoid problematic users sending them either - one can block specific users from sending PMs. For myself, if it gets to the point where I feel it would be better to not continue in public, my choice would always be to end the conversation right there. I've found, again for myself, that there is no need to allow random private conversations with anyone. Should someone specifically ask to talk to me in private, I'd be happy to consider it but probably inworld, depending on who it is of course, but otherwise everything I'd want to discuss here with anyone I would rather be public or not at all.

Jaylinbridges Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Pet Peeve - Stupid animated GIF's in a text forum, AND those who then comment on the GIF as if it was worth a comment. I don't waste much time posting here anymore. TOO TOXIC, and the main offenders are given a free pass for some reason. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
