: why is it that I feel dumped on because i choose to stand up for myself when it comes to Army Ranger and his many "friends" here on the hun? He and I had become very close..ie...emailing each other everyday ( sometimes many times a day), sharing very private and intimate emotions and secrets with each other and talking about possibly meeting one another, and because he has skeletons inthe closet( who vistit the hun quite often), that i become a target for those to "spy" on for him and offer up unwanted advice to me? Then we must start with the name-calling and catfighting. I don't understand what i did to him or anyone else. I know the word respect has been thrown around a lot when it comes to him, as I will respect anyone who shows me the due respect that I am owed as a human being. All I wantto know ( I guess) is when is it fair "in love and war" to associate with other people in the chat rooms that may not be necesarily the "one" you have your eye on, and what is the correct ettiquette for handling these cyber realtionships?
Hey navgirl :) Sorry you seem to have been experiencing problems. Cyber... here's a newsflash for all those ppl out there who didn't know... it's words on a screen! *shock*
To me, navgirl, in cyber as in RL, it's about mutual agreement and respect. If both parties have agreed to be 'exclusive', then that's what should happen, whether cyber or otherwise. If not, then I cannot see how one can get pissy with the other, unless it's being done under his/her nose - that would be bad manners. The etiquette seems to be: if s/he's not there, then does it really matter? As long as s/he has your full attention when there, who cares? As for the cat fighting, some people need to grow up and possibly get out more.
My view of cyber? It's a bag of wank. If it's not a brief prelude to something tangible, then it's pointless. Hope that helps. J :)
