Should you be able to respond directly to other Fluther users (ie, send a message) to someone who answers a question of yours?

Asked by imagine401 (56points) November 19th, 2006
Especially if the response they gave you was pretty rude and you really want to understand where it came from.

sure. but i sometimes give pretty rude responses, so maybe i'm asking for trouble.

I don't think Fluther should be a forum for personal quips and tiffs. If someone responds to you in a rude way, I would recommend ignoring it and focusing on the positive answers that you receive from others. Maybe, though, there should be a way to report misbehaving members to the administrators.

How about if they gave you a GREAT answer and you'd like to thank them or get expanded info from them??

Exactly, most of the responses have been so positive and helpful...

but then it makes a rude response just feel so jarring...

Anyway I think it'd be cool if each person could have a little message board for questions they ask/respond to

yes! Someone answered one of my questions, and I wanted follow-up information from them so I posted that in my own question, but I think that they're not going to check an old posting that they already responded to and I will never know!

I actually just learned this, after viewing this post a minute ago. If you click on someone's name, you are directed to their profile. On their profile, you can leave a comment. This comment can be public or private. If you mark it private, no one else can see it. Thus you CAN respond :-)

I have a real problem with people who just want to be rude. I cannot stand it when there is no common courtesy. If you don’t like someone’s answer then leave it alone.

I feel like If you have nothing nice to say then don’t say anything at all. PLEASE!
