    I will reiterate:


    It may be the OP's style of wording.
    But I don't know that.
    And neither do you.
    I would not like to think anyone thinks it appropriate to 'chase' or 'pursue' anyone simply because they don't reply to texts.
    And I'm not the only poster to think that:





    Do you?
    Sorry, my word is wrong.

    Do you?

    You are trying to find some drama where there isnt any ... certainly not based on what the OP has written. He has sent a couple of texts without response which he acknowledges in post 13 to take a step back ... to insinuate he is some kind of predator is well over the top .... so you can all put your pitch forks away!
    If you've ever fallen victim to a creeper who just doesn't understand "no", then I think you would not make that assumption.

    Reads sinister to me. Who badgers coworkers with texts at home?


    A couple of texts in the evening is not "badgering" .... even in this over sensitive world!

    I am not 'trying to find' anything. Not even 'drama'.
    I have read the words the OP has written and formed an opinion.
    My opinion differs to yours.
    I really don't care if you think my response is over the top.
    I do not have a pitchfork.

    This response ^^^^ clearly shows you have no concept of what Brassicwoman is talking about.
    But just because you haven't, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

    Every time I send two or three messages, if she does not reply. I will not send it anymore. Until the next day

    This sounds like rather more than ‘a couple of texts’.

    !!!!!!! ... Someone needs to stop this witchunt!. You are doing to him exactly what you are claiming he has done to someone else. Worse in fact as you do know better. You are hounding him. He has nothing else he needs to explain to you. It is clear that the written word is not his strong point. The hypocrisy of your actions in this thread is beyond belief!

    'hypocrisy'?
    No hypocrisy here (are you sure you've used the correct word?)
    No witchunt.
    No hounding.
    The OP described a situation and asked for opinions.
    I am doing nothing other than giving my opinion.
    I am not the only poster to express the same opinion.
    If - as you say - the written word is not the OP's strong point, is it not possible that the person the OP says he wishes to 'chase' or 'pursue' has formed the same opinion as I have done?
    Who do you think deserves more consideration?
    The OP?
    Or the person who he is contacting?

    You made your point (badly imo) , and with regards the original poster by keep reiterating it doesn't make it acceptable behaviour and does make you a hypocrite or would you prefer "bully" as a better word? (I'm easy with either). Deflection doesn't hide it either.

    You may use whichever word you wish.
    I'm sure we both hope that the OP has got the message about sending messages to this work colleague that are not reciprocated.
