For me it's just what it stands for - Private Message - anything, for what ever reasons, I have to say that I prefer not to share in the open forums...

I don't mind receiving PM's of a friendly nature. Complimenting me on a story, or pics, stuff that is referring to what I have posted.

The PM's that I don't care for are from someone inviting me to cyber or chat in a private room... that makes me uncomfortable. I have gotten a few of those lately....

I worry about sending PM's to someone that I want to compliment also. I don't want to offend anyone...

umm, to reply to PM's that have been sent to me..
all ive done SO far

All of the above reasons, (notable Scotzoidmans’) and I’ll send one to warn somebody I’m not TOO familiar with if I’m about to post a jab at their thread.;) LOL

(Most of the time if they’ve been here for a week, they already know not to take me seriously. Anybody that’s been here a month pays no attention to me all, so I’m pretty safe):)

Flirting of a personal nature, something beyond the usual posting on the forum. Hasn'
t worked yet though.

PF, nobody EVER takes me seriously!

Boys I'd take you;)............................seriously:D

Scarecrow,

I PM those who have PM'ed me, and I PM if it would be injudicious for the text to be exposed to all.
