Must be Kidding

I was in chat earlier and a new lady joined in the talk. She became overwhelmed with PM's and asked on screen for everyone to please stop so she could chat. Many still insisted on sending PM's so she asked again for it to stop. I told her about the flagging option for those who continued to ask her why she wouldnt PM with them, and the room cleared out like a frat party during a campus raid. One decided to stay and proceed to argue about being in the right when it came to PM's. He also claimed that if someone didnt want to PM that they should leave the site.
For all you ladies out there who experience this, you do not have to PM if you dont want to. Do not be bullied out of the chat room by someone with no understanding of respect for others. If you are harassed, flag them. If you are confronted with sexual messages, flag them. They can go somewhere else for all that. You ladies stand up for yourselves in there. You have the right to chat without defending yourself for no reason.
