Hi Maya2001, First, let me say you are one of those posters I open the link to when I see you have posted. I usually enjoy and agree whole heartedly with your stance on things. This time, however, I'm tending to agree with Max and LDR. Having an active profile gives implied consent (as I understand it.) People have a right to be who they are, even if who they are is wanker, troll or Assanine DumDom (picture a DumDum sucker with a man's head for the lollipop and his dick for the stick). Sorry, I digress. My point is that I don't really consider it forced participation without consent. A waste of bandwidth, yes. A waste of time, yes. I may not agree with a person's viewpoint, but I respect their right to be a waste of skin. It just doesn't seem to me that you are participating unless you respond. Personally, I ignore and delete. If the unsolicited email is vulgar or plain rude and mean, I block (which has only happened rarely.) Or, I use it as journal fodder. I rather find it amusing, if not ironic, that my muse sometimes comes dressed as a DumDom or Twanker (what I call the troll wankers who send me cock-pics as a greeting.) Occaisionally, I cringe at the venom of some who feel the need to write me to verbally assault me, and I have to fight the urge to delete my profile to keep from subjecting others without their consent to my ugliness and ignorance (insert shameless ploy for validation here). Seriously though, I understand why the email might have been offensive to you. Sometimes all we can do is shake our head and move on to the next muse in our mailbox. I look forward to more posts from you. Best wishes, Winsome
