If you don't want to talk with someone through PM. Then don't simply reply back to their first PM from the very start. I don't mind PMing on here. But some people on here get way too upset and triggered way too easy online over any little thing it's really sad they Block just for the sake of Blocking (Without any reason). It makes me wonder, if they get so upset easy in real life as well. If someone doesn't reply back to my message, that I sent them in a PM right away or (Sometimes even not at all anymore), I don't get so upset where I spam them over and over again (Talk to me damn it, notice me please, whine whine whine). I'm not a troll or a dick. If I figure someone doesn't want to talk anymore with me in PM, then I leave them alone. If they get back with me, then cool and that's great. If not then it's okay. Some people still like to talk in Private more on websites and some don't at all. No big deal either way

I find it acceptable. But I don't do much in the PMs.

On SW you need to be prepared for a variety of personalities and attention spans. Have a thick skin, an open mind and a lot of fun. Welcome!

If I am having a back and forth conversation about a specific topic, I will try to excuse myself. However if it is just random banter, I will usually just sign off, to resume the banter at a later time. Personally I see no issue with it, and don't have an issue when people do that with me

well this is not a regular site with regular folks, between the spankers diaper wearers ,the bi polars, the broken hearted ,the depressed, the suicidal , plus the straight forward nutbars . the punters you will find, will chat and disappear its what it is . welcome to the 4th floor lila

It happens to me a lot. I figure that more is going on in the person's life than what they are doing online. although, if we are having a serious , emotional conversation rather than just idle chit-chat, I would expect an explanation after the fact.

Considering that it is PMs or posts as opposed to a live chat connection and people are so different, here for different reasons and so much is going on I don't have problem with it as long as they come back at some point. If you have been messaging someone for a while and kind of get to know them at least to the extent you do online, if you are going to be gone for ever I think the polite thing to do would be to say so. But to ghost out of pm's is ok, no different than a longer pause between written letters if you were mailing them.

Yeah a lot of people do that here. Myself I tell the person I have to go. I never just leave without saying anything. Kind of a respect thing I guess

I agree with you, but, yes, lots of people just stop responding...and leave

it is common but I'd much rather somebody tell me they were leaving

otherwise I figure they don't want to hear from me again

I am like you, I like to say goodbye if I have been having a conversation although we seem to be in the minority. It can get frustrating.

I'm guilty of doing this sometimes, but I genuinely just get distracted doing other things

I always appreciate somebody letting me know they are going into the ether

It kinda annoys me. I always let the person know that I'm signing off

It's good to socialize with people on sw. Good luck

Let me go back and read replies, lol
