Using the iggy button

Let's say you know you are a reasonably respectful person...you don't blow up in the rooms at anyone, you are not overly aggressive, you are open-minded and respectful of the diversity presented to us on this site......you do quietly present your opinion on a subject brought up in a public room, even if your opinion is contrary to popular opinion...and you always end your post with 'this is only my opinion'. You are well-liked by 99.9% of people you interact with on the site.

Then you find out someone has iggied you. You have no recollection of even chatting with this person so have no idea why they chose to iggy you.

You ask in the room why so-and-so has you on iggy. Did you do or say something to offend them?

You are instantly called a whiner because the fact that you are iggied bothers you and you want to know the details.

yes, we should all have that high self-esteem that we should not care if someone chooses to iggy you.

But I just wonder why you would be labeled a whiner for wanting to know the details. We all need to learn from past mistakes. Finding out the circumstances surrounding someone iggying you could help you improve, learn, etc. And maybe they misunderstood something you said or did and the issue is resolved.

Anyway, that's my rant for the moment

 i can relate to your rant. i do not understand some on here and gave up trying to understand. it would be nice to know what makes some people tick but alas the world turns without such knowledge.

 I wouldn't say it bothered me too much. But I would be curious why anybody would iggy a harmless little fuzzball like me. LOL

That's been a long time ago and the skin has gotten considerably thicker since.

 I should clarify....I wasn't the one who got iggied...it was a friend of mine, as I described him above. Two other people in the room immediately called him a whiner and laughed at him for even asking why he was iggied...I quietly said I didn't consider it whining but they just kept on laughing at him so I left. Later, my friend was as you all have indicated....he didn't really care, he was just curious as he didn't even recall talking to the lady who had iggied him.

I do agree with y'all...you need to consider the source and develop a thick skin on this site as some ppl are just mean spirited.
