When I first started posting online I used to think I had to post my sn on the forums because it was telling me too but then I found out I didn't have to post my screen names. I always post mine because I like talking to people. New people is fun talking too even though I have plenty of online friends but my online friendships don't usually last long because we lose touch with each other. I have a lot of sn's on my lists in my messengers and I don't even talk to lot of them. If I don't want people IMing me, I don't post my screen names. Besides not many newbies IM me so I can post my screen names anywhere. I don't get a bunch of newbies like I used to. No one from here has never IM me so there.

I rarely IM people because I am shy.

I don't post my IM info, on the assumption that people will start IM'ing me randomly that I don't want to talk to.

I keep myself on invisible status, or selectively invisible, most of the time, because even when people have my IM, I don't always want to talk to them.

If you are visible, someone IM's you, and you don't answer, I'm pretty sure it's considered rude.

I wouldn't request permission by PM to IM somebody whose info was posted, if they would already know who I was. My first message would tell them who I was, and I wouldn't add them unless I thought we might talk several more times.

I can't think of any circumstances under which I would IM a stranger who wouldn't know who I was.

what about posting private IM conversations? it seems a bit hypocritical to me to have you here commenting on IM etiquette. ::)

*shrug* I've explained my reasoning on multiple occasions, and have yet to receive a response that addresses its substance.

Because it was an extenuating circumstance, it doesn't create an inconsistency to have standards of IM etiquette.

I'll comment where I like, of course.

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

I don't care if people add me. If I don't want to be pestered by folk I add them to my block list.
