SMS rage !!!!!!

P

Perth boy

Have you ever had SMS rage? I was selling a small item on gum tree last week. I got 29 text messages from this guy. That's not including my responses back to him. If I knew it was that hard for the $90 I sold it for I would have put it in the bin.

YEP;- SMS rage, email bullying, social site bullying, voicemail rage, blog bullying unfortunately its everywhere, with today’s communications you have as well, social abuse.
Let`s talk about gumtree and the abuse you get from selling items. I have found I can sell most items on gumtree as long as I advertise the item for a $20.00, anything more it becomes just really hard work, constant emails and bartering. One guy I came across decided to try to bully and abuse the hell out of me through email, death threats the whole 9 yards, I realised this guy was a coward, probably a teen and obviously uses these tactics, so I reported him to the web site, but the site really does not help and I suspect the police have continuous reports of abuse, through the web and phones , and so unless the matter becomes, stalker urgent the police are probably useless as well.
A final note, this forum is great currently; there are many funny people, who use this forum and no abuse from anyone??????????? Talk about a surprise, a friendly group of people;- Just WOW

Would anyone agree if I was to hallucinate that SMS is a great way for exchanging information. But is totally insufficient for conversation. Yet so many people rely on it resulting is mixed and wrong messages causing misunderstandings. Not to mention the diminishing of communication EQ.

I myself tend to SMS to pass on or collect details and make a phone call if a conversation was required.

pirate, I would have "sold" it to him and told him to meet you at an office block address i.e. not your residence. And when (if?) he turns up - abuse the living daylight out of him.
