Some posters don't always make a good first impression. It is one person's perception versus another's approach. We play the odds as to whether the doorway of approachability opens or shuts in our face.

But have you ever been wrong about another poster? If so, are you willing to give them another chance or do you feel that there are so many other posters more worthy of your attention?
 
I was really wrong about A_J. Fawker is as insane as they come...
 
Yeah, there was this one guy. . .the first time we interacted I thought he was a complete jerk. But, a few weeks later we were posting on a thread together and I realized that maybe he wasn't the arrogant s.o.b. I thought he was. Now he's a very close friend. ;)

My first impression of SummerRose: what a fluffball!

My new and improved impression of SummerRose: I :heart: that fluffy bunny bitch!

So, yeah. Everyone has facets of personality that aren't shown on the board .. I'm really a very serious chic, but here I'm a flirty sex fiend. Both are part of me .. only one is shown here, mostly.

Everyone is worthy of attention .. people are just so damned interesting.

I wasn't certain that an insane person could make such an observation.

She is a fluff .. but that's not all :)
 
I've had my mind changed quite a few times on this board. I'm pretty much always open to second chances at first impressions. Sometimes things just aren't quite what they seem.

Rambrat is a jerk, though. :p
 
No, I don't judge people by their first post to me. I always give someone the benefit of a doubt if they come off rather crass. Everyone has a bad day now and then.

Now, after three or four rather pointed posts to me that are less than polite, I get their drift.

JL:kiss:

You're not a jerk. . .you're a pain in the. . .oh, I shouldn't say that here. :D
 
You especially don't want to say someone's a little pain in the...

Hey, I'm just trying to be a "mental" fluffer here!

a nice jerk....you forgot, a nice jerk...

Yes...I have made the mistake of evaluating a fellow poster before I got to know them...but I am ALWAYS willing to give second chance. Sometimes I misinterpret someone's intentions.

I'm glad that you don't judge by their first post...I'd been in trouble.

you're just too nice SIN...:D
 
I try to not form an opinion about someone until I've gotten to know them. The times that I have formed an opinion without knowing someone I tend to leave room for doubt.

There was this one poster (who shall remain nameles), I never went into his threads because he flirted with all the ladies. I assumed he'd be arrogant or conceited or really full of himself. I found out later that I was wrong.
 
i usually give people many chances and im very slow to form a bad judgement

but i find sometimes when i do form a judgement its hard to reform it

A few I've been very happy to be wrong about.

I've felt the same way at times.
