White hats and black hats
I've recently tried to set up a nice gentle wrestle or two, using the Match Request facility.
Response from really young guy: let me have a photo so I know who I'm meeting. (Damn - I had to postpone this one because of the Southern Rail strikes this coming week).
Three-word response from a much, much older guy when he'd just clicked "challenge" and I'd written back politely saying I'd want to know more about him ... "Fuck off then".
Thank goodness us older guys have some decent standards, some manners! We could teach the younger generation a thing or two!

Thanks, as ever, for taking an interest.

12/05/2016 10:45 AMIsn't it bad manners to point out the bad manners of others? ;)
I understand your frustration at the incivility of others. Rudeness, like rejection, is never nice.
You have to think duck's back, and water rolling off it and celebrate the great opponents and challenges and forget those who just wasted your time.
You're wasting even more on them :)
