I see some people get very insensed about others whispering to them in the chatrooms. My question is what is so bad about it, I am a newbie here so please excuse my ignorance
I presume you're talking about whispering to people you don't know too well or at all - and would it be mainly women you're talking about as well?
Well I ain't a chatroom expert by any means but imagine you're a girl in a pub talking to a bunch of mates and this stranger comes over to you and says 'Hey, come over here into this corner and have a quiet word with me.' What do you think her reaction would be?
Then imagine that you are the 15th bloke that to have come over and said that to her tonight. What do you think the response would be then?
OK OK wow did that rustle up a hornets nest. No seriously thanks for your response, all who contributed, and I very much appreciate the female side, thank you especially westerross (where the hell did you get that name from) I think your analogy made a lot of sense. The rest I think was a little "in house" and when straight over my head. Disclaimer: I would like to make it clear to all concerned that I have never and will never whisper without prior acknowledgement or consent. Or something like that. PS We need more people from the south of England on this site, Whisper or perhaps they don’t do it there. I would now insert a smiley, but I don't know how to.
i think many people go over the top about whispers, personally i can't see the harm after all you wouldn't go upto someone in the street and ask permission to say hi first would you?
I was bought up to think it's rude to whisper so i dont. But some times you may need to get a message over quickly so i will do it, but i just drop a sorry about this but --- in first.
It's not often the situation arises though.
I generally only go in two rooms, the forum chat room and s wales room, I've tried a few others but it's just so annoying not to be able to join in the conversation because you're dealing with numpties the whole time. You can tell when the pubs have closed, they come in, don't say a word to the room and start wispering to every woman in there. My policy, paste the wisper in the room, ask the room in general not to wisper, if they do it twice they get kicked. I have had several occassions where they've got quite abusive because I've pasted the wisper in the room but it does make me wonder if that approach ever works and if not - why do they keep doing it?
