Because I cannot possibly remember who is on my “Do Not Post To Me” list. I rarely respond to people based on their name. I respond to what they say, not who they are. Most of the time, I don’t even look at the name. I hate to think that I will have to scrutinze every name in case I am not allowed to post to them.
I don’t recall this behavior in previous years here at FR. It smacks of controlling behavior. I even had a moderator tell me not to post to someone because they went crying to the moderators. That is SO unFR.
It’s almost like they can’t control themselves not to respond so they want me to change my behavior to suit them. That’s kinda strange.
It’s like a student coming to the university and demanding remedial classes because they were too lazy to catch up before school. Trust me. It happens A LOT. “Why should I give up my lifeguard job to go to summer school? The college should catch me up so I don’t have to be responsible”.
That was what I was responding to. That whiny, "I don't know what to do..." Here's what you do. Pretend your mother taught you manners and just don't post to them.
No one is talking about controlling behavior or remembering a "don't post to me list" over days. No one is asking you to change yourself to suit anyone. No one is asking to scrutinize a list.
It was a request. As for the rest of your post... please. Since when its UnFR like just to exercise some common courtesy.
