javacatThis is my response to Susanw's post a few back regarding response to her posts in Bitca.
Susanw: Going through this definitely makes me wonder if I'm responsive enough to other people's posts, and who else is feeling left out.
Reply: I do know that because I frequently print and read later, and drop in and out to post rather than be able to read and post in real time, that I feel a closeness and friendliness towards Buffistas that, in a way, is all in my head. My huge affection towards my blinvisible friends would seem to be disproportionate to the response that I get when I do post, in other words.
Suelac and others, I believe ita, have also talked a bit about the concept of social capital, and how a lack of response indicates low-standing in the community. So from that perspective, if one doesn't get a response, one really *should* take their ball and go home because they are being shunned.
Dunno. I'm starting to see myself as truly addicted, e.g., pathetic. Or possibly much more lonely in my real life than I realized. Dunno.
It does hurt to not get a response when posting in Natter, I have to say.
