"I’m regularly blocked by ladies and couples for just leaving a nice respectful message. Bewildering" If you read the "blocking" thread you'll see that it's used as a filter by a fair number of people so it's not necessarily anything personal against you. | |||

"I’m regularly blocked by ladies and couples for just leaving a nice respectful message. Bewildering" People block to save replying. It's not personal and they don't intend it to be disrespectful or unkind | |||

I think that’s slightly different to getting a first message from someone on here and it’s abusive, there is no need for it !" Agree that abusive messages are completely out of order and offenders should be banned as the abuse is there in black and white on the PMs they send they are bang to rights so to speak. However when it comes to posting interacting on the forums I do agree with _aitonel completely. You can give advice, guidance, share knowledge and experience to aid and help others, often it's taken the wrong way because the person isn't receptive to hearing anything that they don't want to hear. That's life ultimately. If I was going about something all wrong, I'd hope my fellow forumites would open my eyes up as to why, so I could learn, grow, make positive changes etc. I wouldn't want it sugar coating on the off chance I'm unable to take constructive feedback in the right way. Absuive PMs there are no excuses for that. KJ | |||

"I’m regularly blocked by ladies and couples for just leaving a nice respectful message. Bewildering" It's not bewildering you need to get a better understanding of how this site works. Anyone not interested in you who then blocks you is doing you a favour as you won't be able to see each other from that point on or message and interact, and you won't see them in local updates. You simply weren't compatible so that's a good thing. Also when there's a 100 men for every single lady or couple then it makes absolute sense for them to block anyone who interests doesn't allign with there's. Especially when given the M - F M/F ratio imbalance they can potentially receive 100s of messages per day. It's nothing personal to you at all. Focus on finding those who are open to you and share similar interests. KJ | |||

It's perfectly acceptable for anyone Single males or lady's or couples to decide that a person is not for them and use the sites features to ensure that they don't cross paths in the future. KJ | |||

"Oh. I don't get abuse and rarely see abuse. I have had unreasonable people reply in the forum with ill thought out responses but that's hardly abuse. Can't say I see a lot of abuse either" I don’t either. But I don’t reply to messages where I’m not interested. I block people. I don’t give reasons why I won’t meet them. People should really do this. | |||

Your original post was about the site and had no mention of abuse in PMs and as that was posted on the forums many people will take that as your talking about needing to been kind on the forums. So on that note I totally understand Granny's point as I was similarly confused. KJ | |||

"i get it nearly every day on here. from women. been called ugly as fuck and told i look like a serial killer. like what the hell you try to be polite and get that crap" Although it's mainly from single guys (thanks to the insane ratios) We have also had couples and single lady's accounts been nasty in PMs, sadly it happens. There's some shitty human beings out there unfortunately. For me though it says way more about them than it does us. I'm also very thankful they exposed what they are like so we could dodge that bullet. KJ | |||

"Forums are for debate and discussion, some of those discussions could be about mental health issues, in those threads a #bekind attitude should be welcomed. As you need to accurately read the room. However, some subjects such as the death penalty or certain government policies can bring another type of poster, those quite passionate in their beliefs. Don’t join in if you can’t take criticism over your views. Why have a mind if you can’t change it occasionally or understand someone else’s world view. I have more issues with the grammar police, over someone perceived nastiness to another poster. For me the most enjoyable threads to read are those in which two people are really going at it. " 100% Some of the best threads are the debates on here where through another's posters lived experience and articulate reasoning leads you to adapt or develop a new view point or perspective. That's how we grow. KJ | |||

"I agree LBC...... People use 'be kind' as a weapon. It is possible to treat others with humanity and hold and express firm beliefs.... It's the psychobabblers who just spout it or use it as a silencer that are the problem." I don’t use the be kind as a weapon and never would. I actually work for a humanitarian organisation and treat others with humanity and respect whether their views are different to mine | |||
