Chose "New Members Area", as I'm new to the Irish fora.

Twice experienced a very same thing: when I try to answer to a person, I get a message that I'm either blocked or the participant doesn't exist.

In both cases it was they that contacted me first, we kept a correspondence for a while and then, when I tried to reply, I couldn't. My guess is - they blocked me. What for? For being late with my reply? Is it a crime in Ireland?

I'm here for a date. While it's incredibly pleasant to be noticed from a long distance... it's that - incredibly pleasant. It's not a date. A correspondence is good for me to keep my variation of written English alive, don't know what good it does to my counterpart though...

Well... just complaining, is all :)

It could be that the person was banned, hid their profile, closed their profile, or as you said, blocked you.

Either way, they are not worth worrying about.

Unless you want to be contacted by a whole load of scammers, tighten your settings to exclude far flung places.

Happens fairly regularly, might log in and see a friend request or message by a non existent user, wouldn't worry about it wine

Had a few mails, friends requests and the profile is hidden or gone before you get the chance to respond.
Also some open and close their profile in-between mailing, god know's why and some people or very fickle, if they are not getting the responses they want then they huff (block) or stop mailing. Insight into them or the game they are playing. dunno wave

Thank you for feed back. Forgot to mention that in both cases my counterparts were Irish men. So I's wondering whether there is some kind of dead line for answering when it comes to Irish people, after which you become persona non-grata and would be blocked.

You see, I correspond with a Canadian man: he replies once in a while and so do I. Then I correspond with a German man in the very same fashion: an extensive exchange and then we leave each other in peace for a good while, few months or so. I find it convenient - why to bother your pen-pal when there's nothing to tell about or you are just too busy to write. Or just not in the mood... (I broke my hip last March and still not well after that. Then my father died 3 weeks ago and I don't always feel like entertaining strangers. Then, in order to write something in English I have to make some adjustments in my brain. In short, some things have to co-inside for me to reply and I always thought that my counterparts are able to understand that.)

I would block someone who's bothering me after I've told him that I don't want to correspond anymore. But blocking for a few days' delay... Ain't that too dramatic?

And once again, it's my experience only with the Irish gentlemen. Is it the weather or some such?

They´re probably drunk and trying to type with one eye open, or lying in a gutter with no money or memory. I may or may not have offended the Irish community, I just don´t know yet.
