i don't agree with u here. even in rl, u can't always ignore whiners. at times it requires one to be upfront to the extent of being rude and letting them know that one is not interested in their whining. i feel it is lot easier to ignore negative people or whiners in vl as all one needs to do is just skip over their posts or just refrain from reacting to their posts.
Could be main reason pm is not choice method for making personal digs or whining about all that one is unhappy about. 😊
same goes for double faced people who attack on open forums and then scurry back to pm u and claim that they r doing that just for the heck of debating...that they don't mean anything personal. why can't they claim that in open forum?
as it is, i am little apprehensive about using pms for "airing" my thoughts kinda messages. one never knows to whom they get forwarded to eventually!!! i have a bigger problem with two faced people...... those, i feel, r even worst than the so-called "whiners" we see in vl.
