In another thread about rude messages, the OP posted that a man responded to her polite rejection with something like:"how dare I reject them when I don't even know them nor have I tried to get to know them."I was shocked to read some of the responses saying the OP should report the man to the moderators, and that he might be booted off the site.Report him? For real?This seems to me to be a MASSIVE over-reaction. Sure, the man's message wasn't necessary, it was petty, it was rude and a childish pout etc, but really, what harm did it do? Based only on what the OP shared, it didn't threaten, invade or put anyone at risk. It was just a human being expressing himself, if somewhat poorly.This man's behaviour is not going to lead to much success with women on the site. As a paid member, he'll be wasting his money if he continues with those kinds of messages. Surely that's lesson enough for him?Something to consider - if you go through this world meeting hostility with hostility, you'll simply get more hostility. If you meet pettiness with pettiness, you'll just get more pettiness. You get the drift :)My suggestion:1 - Try meeting hostility with peace and understanding - it makes for a better world for everyone (timely reminder to self!) If you can't manage that, try simply ignoring it.2 - And try to maintain some perspective for goodness' sake - a rude or unpleasant message from a stranger is truly inconsequential in this world, compared to atrocities all over the place. Unless of course you decide to make a big deal out of something so small.*rant over*
