| Rude responses Posted: 8/25/2006 9:19:11 AM | | Here is my take on "Rude Responses" I juast had this same thing happen with a female on here. I think, if someone takes the TIME to EMAIL you, you should at LEAST take the time to email him back. EVEN, if your email says something like, Thanks for the interest, but your not my type" Atleast a reply would be the ADULT thing to do. I am not "Sour Grapes" either. I mean, I get shot down like everyone does on here(atleast once, lol) but, the recpient should atleast reply back, even if its not what the other person wants to hear. It is called "Common Courtesy". | |

| Rude responses Posted: 8/25/2006 9:28:00 AM | | I think that sometimes when you reply with "I am not interested" trying to be polite....It gets the weirdo's started. I find it easier to just not reply. Then it is over. I know for the nice men that sucks. But, the weirdo's are the ones that cause us the problems. | |

I still have not figured out what an underage chink is. As far as I know anyone over 18 is an adult. WTF is a chink?!
It's a racist word for chinese person or asian | |

It is called "Common Courtesy". 9 times out of 10 common courtesy replies get nasty replies back. I say I am not interested to someone, and suddenly I am a stuck up slut/whore..or whatever the world of the day happens to be. | |

| Rude responses Posted: 9/1/2006 11:28:53 AM | Hello,
I happen to be an American. I love this country and all it stands for. If you don't like it get the hell out!!! Nobody is stopping you. Go live in some other country without free speech and and all the liberties you have here. Don't expect to get any American benefits from this country either. You are either a part of the problem or a part of the solution. See how long you last in another country critisizing the peopole there.  | |

| Rude responses Posted: 9/5/2006 3:58:44 PM | It's funny that you would verbally thrash someone for grammatical errors without first checking the spelling of every word in your own response. I was just wondering, how do you "Pummel an ENITRE country" ?  | |

The message you are replying to: Posted By: parteegirl on 7/29/2006 7 34 PM Subject: Rude responses Message: dru...I understand this is more about rude responses than any kind of intelligence but holy moly...have you ever cracked a book? Is it really true that ignorance is bliss? I was just wondering because you are here trying to pummel an enitre country of "American's" as you spelled it...WTF? Even if that was close to ever being gramatically correct you couldn't use it in a sentence...well, YOU could.
""Umm, it was a joke, if you really want to get into it mail me and I'll tell you what I really thing of American's, but that would be off topic for this thread. But you are right, I'm sure a lot of people would think I'm an A$$hole, and that is okay with me."""
tell me dru, what do you really "thing" about "American's"? and if it was a joke why are you getting so bent with people's responses?
I guess it comes down to you winning an award for rude responses. you should be grammar teacher of the year. | |

| Rude responses Posted: 9/5/2006 6:32:12 PM | The OP said:
What I don’t get is, why the rude response from this guy?
Sometimes, people just feel a little bolder communicating on the 'net. And if they can't win you over, they might as well belittle you, right! ;-)
I've had rude responses, too, when I've said, "thanks for the message, but I'm not interested" or when I've politely declined a date. All you can do is not dwell on the name calling and the swearing! But keep up with polite replies... | |
|
| Rude responses Posted: 9/19/2006 12:26:14 PM | I'm a little late with this response, as I just read it within the past 5 minutes.
But just wanted to add my 2 cents on grammar. You're apparently somewhat ethnocentric, and at the very least, negatively biased towards Americans (notice the spelling of the word).
Which brings me to my next point, Dru. To make a noun plural in English, usually you simply have to add an s to the end of the singular form. There are exceptions, like puppy becomes puppies, and others, however, I do not believe there are any rules that tell you to make the noun possessive. American does not become American's, and error does not become error's, unless of course you are speaking in the possessive sense. For example, "the American's point of view" or "the error's meaning."
Learn to effectively write the language before you attack the citizens, culture, government, etc. | |

| Rude responses Posted: 9/19/2006 3:07:35 PM | | Happened to me last night. Got a PM from someone (not in my province) that said to trust him; his message is NOT spam (alarm bells); that he wished he could post a picture here for me but he would get kicked off if he did (more alarm bells) - so go to his "space" to see pictures of him, etc. I replied politely, thanking him for contacting me but that I was hesitant about accessing a webpage I knew nothing about. He told me I was ridiculous and had a lot to learn about about the internet. As far as rude responses go, it was mild, but still uncalled for. | |
|
| Rude responses Posted: 9/21/2006 8:37:49 PM | | I, as a guy, thank you for replying with a no thanks. It makes things very easy and smooth. You did it right! As for him, well... I know there can be jerks anywhere, but the Stars and Stripes seem to really bring it out in them. | |
|
| Rude responses Posted: 9/22/2006 1:51:14 AM | Why the rude response?
Some people are ***holes. Any more question? | |
|
| Rude responses Posted: 9/24/2006 3:43:25 PM | Don't you understand that most people feel THEIR wishes, hopes and desires, far out-weigh those of anyone else?? When they're rebuffed, even politely, their poor, little egos are bruised so, the ONLY manner n which they can reply is to be rude? This is somewhat in the same manner as the old saying, "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts, absolutely", no? "Do as I wish or, I'll terrorize you with rude words and thought, ABSOLUTELY", or is this a bad simile? lol You appear to have the patience of Job, blondie. Keep it up. OR, come to me and get MINE up. LMAO HDavid | |

| Rude responses Posted: 9/24/2006 5:46:40 PM | | I too am a tall woman (5'10) and have had "shorter men" e-mail me. I let them know an online a pen pal is just fine, "the more friends the merrier", I like to write. I usually don't hear back from the men that were looking for something else but the ones that don't mind friendship, hang in there.....I guess it just depends on the individual and not where they are from......it does take all kinds though doesn't it........the nasty ones you just block........cheers | |

| Rude responses Posted: 11/11/2006 6:08:57 PM | A sad truth about online interactions, is that it allows people to be rude, belittling or insulting all from the safety of their keyboard. Its like rude drivers, its sooooo easy to give someone the finger when you know you dont have to answer for it. The same applies for sites like POF, where there is alot of social interaction. Some of these idiots (men and women) who reply to members of the opposite sex with rude or insulting behavior are cowards who probably wouldnt have the gumption to say these things in person... Just consider the source, block 'em and move on.
That being said, I used to write fairly detailed emails to women whose profiles I was interested in, only to have my work and thoughts "unread deleted". I think that if a person (man or woman) takes the time to write an email, the courteous thing to do would be to write a short response back indicating interest or no interest. If the respondant became nasty or abusive the easiest thing to do is block him/her.
I have met some of the nicest people on POF, but also some of the nastiest! 
Cheers!!

As for the above if you look at a map of North America, simply put WE are bigger and WE are on top ... if this was a prison you would be our b**th.
Ok, Im sorry that aside, there wasnt anything wrong with your response I myself would be flattered that you responded ... quite often I wouldnt even get a response, you at least took effort.
Best of luck in that which you seek.
Cheers!
Oh on a note to the above comment ... I truly have no issue with Americans, just the rude ones ... which goes for the same here in Canada and anywhere else for that matter. Respect and understanding goes further than you think. | |

| Rude responses Posted: 11/27/2006 6:51:21 PM | I just had a rude encounter and it really amazes me. A guy e-mails me, no picture, no name, wanting to know if we have anything in common. OK I can start with that. But his next e-mail assums we wil meet somewhere, still no name or picture. I was trying to be polite and get more information from him and since I have a picture up I feel it only fair to show me who I'm speaking with. He got really rude, told me he'd get "my a## a picture before I got to bed" then told me I had a stick up my a##. Well there was more, but I'm cutting it short here.
This sort of person really makes me more cautious about meeting people on line. His profile says he has a great sense of humor and he describes himself as good looking with an MBA, but I have a feeling that is all made up.
Thanks for letting me vent. It is just unnerving.

| Rude responses Posted: 6/5/2007 8:55:14 PM | Unfortunatley some people tear down others to bring themselves a little higher.
It's sad - you were good enough to reply and say "Thank you - but not for me". This is a show of respect and courtesy and most likely - especially here - unique.
People always show their true colors at somepoint - we're lucky when they do it early.
I think what pisses us off with this is that it disregards your intent - to be polite. But, what comes around goes around - some of us out here are single for a reason... a very very good reason. lol
Don't sweat it - you're better than the response that you received. | |
