Welcome to Gaia! ::


Timid Explorer

The title sums it up already.

You're lurking the forums, posting here and there, and sometimes, you stumble over that one User you dislike for some reasons.
May it that he/she has always opinions that are very unpopular to you, or there's just something else that bugs or annoys the hell out of you.
You never talk with that user, or maybe you did once or twice.
But you decided to not ignore that user, because you never really ignore people for such reasons (I've read often that ppl rarely put others on their ignore list)

And suddenly, out of the blue, that user gives out random donations, for whatever reasons, and is gifting you too a item you've been questing.

What's your reaction?
Do you feel awkward about it?
Would you thank that user anyway, or just ignoring it and move on?
Or would it even change your opinion of that user?
Did something like that happen to you before? What was your reaction?

I don't disliek anyone. whee

If someone I despised gave me a gift I wouldn't do anything.
They would still be on my blocked list as someone would only go there for a reason.

If someone bullies me, brings my family into it, abuses me, treat me like s**t, or behave like a total a**,They should know better than to expect any thank you's from me.

Muscular Streaker

You should just thank him/her, then move on. :]
Or try to give him/her a chance and start a conversation, you might change your mind.

Magic Hero

I'd bid them a curt but not gushing thank you and be on my way.

The only people I dislike on here are obvious trolls... so that has never happened to me and I doubt it ever would. xd

(I am talking about those people who spam the forums with porn / gore images)

But if it ever happened to me, I guess I would thank the user and reconsider my opinion.
After all, maybe it was my own fault that I disliked them? Maybe I had a bad day and got in a silly argument with them, etc.

I don't hold grudges and I think it says a lot about someone's maturity level if they can argue / disagree with you and still be fine with you.

So yeah... I'd watch them and see if they are maybe not such a bad / annoying person at all.
And if they are - hey, at least I got a gift rofl

I've had this happen, before.

I returned the donation and had no regrets.

I've never had that happen to me, but if it were to...it'd really depend on the person. The only people I have on my ignore list are people who I absolutely despise. One of them is my ex, and the rest are people to harassed me constantly for a period of time. So even if they gave me an Angelic Halo, I'd immediately put it in the Dumpster Dive because I'd want nothing to do with them.

On the other hand I have a few people that annoy me, but I haven't blocked them because whatever they did was either 1) never directed at me or 2) we just have differing opinions. If one of these people donated me something, I'd thank them and move on.

I had someone on my friends list years ago, and for reasons I'd rather not disclose, I deleted him and put him on ignore. He sent me a gift months ago. I don't sell gifts, and I didn't want to keep it, so I gave it away in the Chatterbox.

When someone goes on my ignore list, they've crossed a line and I will probably never converse with them again. A gift wouldn't change that.

Now, if it was a user who I'd butted heads with but didn't piss me off to the extent I'd blocked them, I would probably be pleasantly surprised and thank them.

I have found I'm a personality that people like to tease, and sometimes that person you disagree with is actually a benefit to be around. You should try to see outside of your point of view even if you don't like it. GCD is a community and one of the benefits of being part of it is extending your grasp on things.

Loyal Kitten

I'd thank them and leave it at that, though I might send them a donation back as well. . I don't think I've run into someone on here I've actively dislike. Find obnoxious, sure, but I wouldn't ignore/hate them for that. Having a difference of opinion isn't something that makes me hate someone. Being an abusive a*****e does, but I haven't found too many people on here like that, but then again I limit where I go on here.

A Snack

its happened to me before.
I just gave it right back
and put them on ignore.
so they wouldnt attempt to harass me or give me the gift back

...I've literally never had that happen to me as 1) There aren't too many people I actively dislike on the forums and 2) random donations are few and far between (Except on anon gifting season!) but if that happened I'd just... well, I'd thank them because I wasn't raised in a prison cell and I always appreciate a gift.

I'm an item whore. sweatdrop

Handsome Man-Lover

For someone to end up on my ignore list they'd, idk, have to very oviously troll me or insult me repeatedly.

I never had any problems with people, even if opinions differ. You can't perfectly get along with everyone xp

I'd take any gift as a kind gesture, completely removed from the user's forum personality.
I be all..

"Ah well... meh."
