Do you ever find it mildly annoying when people here who you don't recognize follow you but don't bother to send you a PM to introduce themselves?

Am I the only person here who thinks that's just common courtesy?

I used to be really fussy about that too Nigel. But...I've come to understand that some people don't necessarily want to form any sort of friendship--sometimes they just want to read stories and be entertained.

More annoying to me is the person who PMs me with "hey" or "what's up" and even the occasional lengthy one that is obviously rehearsed and reused.

Why would they follow you though if they don't want any sort of interaction?

@NigelDoes: Because your stories and posts show up in their home feed. They probably like what you have to say, or maybe they like the music you post?

I honestly only want people on my friends list who I actually interact with on some level.

@NigelDoes: But we are not all the same and we don't all want the same things...?

@NigelDoes: one would think

@Peekatyou: yes, very true, and fair

I was merely expressing how I feel.
