Personals Drama: You're barred!

Posted by airheadgenius

Do you say that here? "You're barred" - as in from a pub for being drunk and disorderly.

I was barred from the Ship and Star on more than one occasion - esp when out drinking with Jash. But that's another story.

Today's post is an inquiry:

What happens when you block someone on Nerve.com? I've been on a blocking frenzy the last few days after a slew of annoying emails, so was surprised to see one of these chumps on my "who's viewing you" list. I always though that blocked members could no longer see my profile page and that they just got a "this persons profile is turned off" notice.

Did you ever do that by the way? Get to the "turned off" page. It always spews out other options that are, in my experience at least, wildly inappropriate. 

Another useful Nerve feature.

Anyways, this is a genuine inquiry. Would someone please enlighten me. If I haven't already barred you that is.

We do use that term here, but I don't think it has anything to do with being cut off from the bar.

You've just posted a link though to one of my very favorite songs of all time.  

I've never had such an avid fan on Nerve though that I've ever had to block anyone.  I suppose that's a blessing.

You are not big on helpful instruction today it would seem...

Just blocked yet another one!

Where are these chumps springing from?

He has written to me over the period of about a year at least 3 times. I have politely written back no thank you at least twice. Today, I sent him one of those instant reply messages saying "sorry, I am too busy to respond right now".

He wrote back "sorry, you're too obnoxious to persue"

The sting was taken out by his inability to spell pursue.

I wrote back that I was being polite and that he had already been told on several occasions no thank you. I then displayed my obnoxious capabilities with a request that he go away and have sex. Well, at least I used the words fuck and off.

Tried to do the right thing. Got bad reaction. Did wrong thing. Can't say fairer than that really.

Seriously, "persue"? Die in a fire.

I am a fish out of water - an opinionated cheeky smiling English chick in a land of larger than life Americans. I don't understand the culture. I don't understand asking if we're exclusive. I don't understand this weird practice of decapitating penises. Some days I am definitely MILF material. Other days I feel more like the material on the inside of yer grannys' handbag.

Location: Brooklyn
Looking for: A stunning socialist with a propensity to pick winning lottery numbers
