Hey Magna,
I really didn’t want to hash this out on open forum but I shall.
You PM’d me about a member you were concerned about. I answered your questions as best I could, trying not to get into a gossip mode but you kept PM’ing me.
That's not quite how it went. Without giving too much away, you had similar concerns when I raised them with you. You also asked me for something specific about it, after your 3rd request I gave you what you requested. You pretty much matched me post for post. I have 39 PM's from you, as our discussions developed.
I just stopped answering then and a long time past but then you started back up again to tell me something.
We were responding to each other, and each other's thoughts on the matter as a whole. As I look over those posts again now, I don't see any significant break in our communication. I did see an earlier break from our communications. A break of 8 days was created by me; I can see the date of when that happened. It was created because I needed it. You then contacted me to ask me if I'm ok as you haven't heard from me.
Later, things moved on to a different subject, and you responded positively. Again there was no break in our communications other than the one i created.
From there I don’t wish to say where the conversation went but I did inform you that I didn’t wish to participant in the conversation any more and to not hurt your feeling said it was ok it you still wanted to PM me so today you sent me photos . I don’t know what they are about.
As I thought I saw it, the conversation moved on to personal experiences, which for me as challenging as they were, I mainly saw in a positive light, and I learned a lot from those experiences. You said you didn't want to participate in that anymore, and you gave your reasons. I respected that. The conversation then moved on to something completely different.
The photos that you mention above, they were based on where our conversation ultimately moved to, the countryside, and the benefits of waking in it.
I shouldn’t need to say this but will. Communicating to a bunch of members of this forum is far easier for me than trying to converse with one. I’m just not good at it and it isn’t just because you’re a male. I have a difficult time having a one on one relationship with any gender.
Thank you for telling me that, this information you tell me now is new, and I respect that.
Due to the initial subject matter and how you approached me, it would have been completed heartless of me to say I didn’t want to listen.
I think we spent a lot of time equally listening to each other, and I appreciate that. We discovered we had the same experiences on a particular subject matter.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to state the real reason why these PM’s didn’t stop but I am a woman and it’s MY prerogative to change my mind about wishing to converse, and I did.
A particular subject matter did stop, we moved to something else, and of course, that is fine. I see it as anyone's prerogative to change their mind, regardless of gender.
The last message received started with your thank you to me. And how walking is good. Ending with wishing me a good holiday. My last post was regarding walking in the countryside, and the countryside in general. Nothing was said after that. Your request to stop PM's was made publicly here. No PM's have been sent out of respect of that request.
