The only time i will block somebody after 1 initial message is if it is something insulting and obviously antagonistic.
I try to make myself as easily contactable as possible. I don't have a special "PWA" screen name for AIM because i wouldn't be on it as much. I give out my
personal screen name to the Graal community so they can contact me as quickly and easily as possible.
Because this is my personal screen name, obviously there will be times I'm on it, and can't deal with Graal related problems. The last time i put somebody on ignore was because i had stayed up all night and was working on a history final project at 6am.
When somebody incessantly messages me on AIM when im using it for a project to collaborate with classmates and can't just log off, and I also can't do Graal things, i see nothing wrong with blocking them if they refuse to stop.
My E-mail is hardly ever used by any of the Graal community, but it's checked every 60 seconds. Forum PMs are also a great way to contact me.
But e-mail and forum PMs aren't instant gratification methods of making me drop what im doing and tend to you, and that's all people want. So i put my personal screen name out to the public in an effort to try to do my job better.
So next time you want to whine about me not being able to instantly help you on AIM, why don't you just e-mail me and get a reply in probably less than 12 hours.
