Wasn’t for me either, how sad.

RE: Private Messages
I confess to not answering each and every PM I receive - some don’t seem to warrant a response, some are simply abusive (these generally relate to my functions as a staff member), and some fail to include the sender’s banking information.

Eh? You want a topless one of me?

... check your PM inbox, and you'll see a topless message of me. Share it to your heart's content. It will be in your hands after I've sent it.

I received your PM. It didn't seem to require a response, but it was received.

Well that's a thing. Some PMs seem to require no response. I got bombarded with PMs by a now banned member. I replied to none. We had past history. He was handing me personal details of his "followers". I am not going to get involved in those shenanigans under any circumstance.

I read them, but am not necessarily going to do anything about them.

ETA: That said, I will respond to PMs that appear genuine just for the convo.

Are Private Messages not popular here?

It most likely depends on who you sent the messages to.  Are they here often, or do they just check in once in a while?

Now I got my first  private message.
It is from you.
And it is a warning.
I find it a paradoxical and a  sad thing.
A normal PN is  not answered.
But  for a warning there is time.

Will these words now result in another warning?
I  think warnings should be for users who insult other users.
Not for users who revive an interesting topic.
One should get a congratulation for that - not a warning.

I'll not be discussing PMs with you on the public forum.  The "P" stands for private.  If you have an issue with that please contact one of the admins or post your concern(s) in the "Questions for Staff" subforum under Site Specific.

Kind of looks like  Shoveling Shit to me. Nobody has to answer a PM from anyone else. Official communications from members of the staff are a different animal.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Of course not!
There is no law that you have to be polite!
But good and normal people are polite because that is the way they are - they do not need a law for that.

Ok, what fucking planet are you from, ya alien? What shit do you think humans are up to, anyways?

I get the distinct impression that you're just one of those assholes who question authority, with no basis in reality. Not because you dislike authority or something, but because you've never stood up for yourself and have avoided conflict like the motherfucking plague. Here's a wake up call from all that dancing around the rules that you do, ya little shit, go read the motherfucking rules. And if you can't accept them, there are other places you can go argue with the mods and admins about how the motherfucking rules are injust or some other fucking ridiculous contention you have against rulebooks.
