Wow. I need some DU help. This is really weird.
I just got a PM from someone, I won't say who.

They had a link to a DU thread they were involved in. I wasn't involved in that thread at all.

Then this person said, "I am putting you on ignore. Goodbye."

I have NO idea what they are talking about. I had never even SEEN that thread before and had nothing to do with it. But now I can't even PM them back and of course, they won't see this, either.

I really wonder if they didn't PM the wrong person by mistake. The only reason I'm even upset about it is I really like the person who did this.

If you are interested, please PM me and I can tell you who it is so maybe you can PM them and ask them if they did that on accident to the wrong person, or if they meant to do that, WHY? I never did anything to them!

3. Another thing
I was just going to PM someone to ask them this privately, but I had no idea who to PM, as I don't really keep track of who knows who better and I could very well just be PMing people who don't really know him.

6. Well if I post that
it'll be pretty obvious who sent the PM to me and I don't want to call them out. Can I PM you?

7. Fuck 'em. Whoever it is ain't worth your time.
I've no idea how many people have me on "Ignore," and I really don't give a shit.

8. I would normally have the same attitude.
But it's just so damn weird. I wasn't involved in the thread that was pasted in the PM, so I have no clue why in the world this person would use it as a reason to ignore me! So I am inclined to think they PMed the wrong person, but who knows?

Obviously I don't have you on ignore! :-)

9. Perhaps the person who did this is one of the 5-7
long-time posters (I know of) here who are questionable in their intents and goals.

19. Unless they accidentally sent the PM to the wrong person.
And if it wasn't on accident, it's pretty weird to put someone on ignore for a thread they weren't even involved in.

17. Ah, they're just an immature prick/bitch
Anyone who feels the need to send a PM to say "I'm ignoring you" is an immature assclown.

Developed, mature people put people on ignore, but don't feel the childish need to tell them.

18. Bouncy, did you give Barbara the Franklin?
We talked about this on another thread pre-1/6/05. It was your idea and I agreed. Did it myself. Just curious. You can IM me or answer here.

After the election I took the 4 people I had on my "ignore" list off, set 'em free. Since then, three of the four approached me on threads to offer gratuitous praise for my posts. Amazing.

I'm now not ignoring anyone.

Peace Out

21. Hi there.
I don't understand "did I give Barbara the Franklin."

I've got no one on ignore, either. I see no need to.

23. You said you'd give $100 (Franklin's pic) to the Senator(s) who
challenged the Ohio electors. I answered and said me too!. We then wondered what to do if 8-10 stood up? Are you that "Bouncy Ball"?

And I believe it IS a misunderstanding.

27. I'd help you BB
But I'm concerned that this would be breaking some rule and I don't want to get into trouble. Maybe the person will realize that they've got the wrong person later on and clear things up.

32. Thanks.
I don't even like drama like this and now I'm wondering if I shouldn't just ask for this thread to be deleted. I was just so baffled/stunned by it and didn't know what to do, since I couldn't PM them back to ask them what happened. But like I said above, I think I have it figured out and if I am right, it IS a misunderstanding.

Thanks again! :hi:

33. Mods, can someone please delete this thread?
I decided I probably shouldn't have posted it. So sorry.

Do I hit alert on my own thread?
