Trying to keep my eggs in the right baskets.
Morning, all.
I just logged into this account to check some book info, and discovered that I had messages in my inbox (wtf?). I won't be answering them, because that would be committing to coming back to check for replies, and I can't do that right now. I'm sorry.
My general policy is that I read all email that comes through my website contact form (), and reply as needed, but I do not check messages on Facebook, 카지노싸이트, or any other site that sneaks in a messaging function. I know, this isn't the most convenient for everyone, but it's the only way I don't wind up ignoring people and feeling terrible about it.
Please, please, if you need to talk to me for any reason, use my website. I am always there.
Thank you!

As far as I'm concerned, if people don't read one's quite-explicitly-clear (and quite polite, gentle and non-offending, IMHO) instructions, that's their problem, and one should not feel compelled to answer emails sent to the wrong place in contravention of said instructions. (PS I am only stating my opinion, and I neither require nor expect a reply to this comment -- at least not from Seanan McGuire. I'd much rather she focus on writing more of her very awesome stories, anyway!) :) :) With much admiration, Annette K.

카지노싸이트 refused (I asked formally) to give their users a checkbox for removing / blocking the "send message" button. That leaves us with no choice but to publically tell contacts we do not want PM / DM and rely on them to remember that. Often, new friends did not get what I meant and sent a private / direct message, as soon as I accepted a friend request! I have furthermore made it an "add request" requirement, that they never do that.Seanan's reason is ample, not wanting to dash around multiple places for potential messages. What's more, I have slow-speed rural internet, making the extra log-in process absolutely drag. People have NEVER said anything requiring privacy. Just "hi", "glad to add you", or support sympathy I would want to display on my profile. Any main screen comment box is direct, easier, and any friend of mine respects this.
카지노싸이트 needs to respect this. Give us the option to shut this (and the "recommend" button) off. Otherwise, some folks are offended and deleted us for asking. Someone ditched me as a contact just now, presumably merely for writing this!

I don't see this as being rude... and not seeing where she's said she will delete her account.
If the lady says don't send her messages, then don't send her messages, it's that simple.
