(55,145 posts)I understand Skinner's response in that "Block this sender." Thats how he thinks.
Skinner does not understand (and this is only my opinion on this) that sometimes blocking isn't good enough. To me blocking something like that is telling me to go back into the closet then you won't have to deal with it. Thats just wrong on so many levels for our community. There is a LGBT member that sends me random PM's that really irk me but in no way are hateful, that would be a case to use block (even though I don't, I just ignore them on my own).
I realize it's a balancing act for Skinner but until he walks a mile in our shoe's which will never happen (given the nature of sexuality), we will constantly be subjected to this kind of treatment.
I hope I didn't ramble to bad on this.
P.S. Know that we love you & support you and that asshole that sent the PM will eventually get his. Karma has a way of working things out.
