OK, I'm a whiny crybaby, but this is getting monotonous.

Edited on Sun Feb-25-07 02:53 AM by qnr

For the fourth time in a row I've donated a star to a DUer, and I've been the only person that the recipient did not reply to. It's not about getting a "thank you" or anything, because I've never said I donated it, but sheesh, the only person not replied to, each time?

Edit: To clarify, though it seems obvious to me, by reply to, I'm talking about in the thread where they were asking for a star, or talking about not having one.

3. I beg your pardon. I don't get many responses. The point is, that each time, I

was the only person in the thread that did not get replied to. Not that I particularly care about your interpretation of it, twerp.

11. I misinterpreted what you were saying. I won't take back the comment,

since I meant it based upon the way you phrased your reply, however, I apologize for my misinterpretation, and not keeping my mouth shut on the matter.

5. In the threads where they were asking for, or talking about not having stars.

It's not particularly important, I'm just feeling grumpy.

But I give props to you for giving stars to other DUers. I think that's very cool :toast:

10. Thanks. I should just tie my fingers up when these thoughts strike me.

The bad thing is, I wasn't looking for props or anything, just not appreciating the implied disrespect.

7. My dear qnr.......

Sometimes when I donate a star.......

I either will PM the person, or I will go in their thread where they're complaining about not having one.....

And point out how they now have one.......

And let it go after that......

Sorry you're peeved tonight......:hug:

8. Thanks CA Peggy, yeah, I shouldn't be. It's not the point of them not saying

anything about the star, that's why I do it annonymously. It's just the fact that I'm the only person that they don't deem worthy of replying to in their entire give me a star thread ... oh well :)

12. Advice: Next time you donate stars to people...

rather than do it anonymously, tell them that you gave them a star. Otherwise, learn to live with the fact that you may not get a response.

13. Again, it's not the "I didn't get a response" -- it's the "I'm the /only/ one out of the

whole thread that didn't get a response."

Anyway, it's not important, I just had to vent for a bit
