Would you except a contact that has no way of being reached ?

Question

Someone wants to be my contact & I can't even let them know that I don't except contacts with no email address.

I hope she/he picks up this question.

Answer 1

I don't know.  I like having contacts that I don't personally know because some people just ask really interesting questions and I want to add those people to my contact list.  Other wise when they ask one I would never know it. I like that I can hear what they have asked and maybe answer some of their questions.  

I don't allow e-mails because a friend of mine had his identity stolen on yahoo answers and ever since then I have been really leary of giving out any sort of information at all. Hope that explains me a little.  I don't think I am the one who contacted you.  I have almost given up trying in most cases.  I guess maybe there is some danger in doing that although I am not aware of what it is.  Perhaps I am being too naive?

Answer 2

Probably,after all,they can't harm you.

Unfortunately,we seem unable to view contacts q/a as we used to,rather defeating the object

Answer 3

I would not. Especially in this divisive, vitriolic-laced election year.

Answer 4

Try and not worry about it, I am sure that person will understand.

Answer 5

I think your question might be a bit confusing to your potential contact.

You said that you   ". . .  don't except contacts. . . .  "   -  think you meant to say "don't accept contacts"  - big difference.   If the person does not have email or IM then there is no way to contact them.  Just wait until they answer a question on the same page you are visiting and then sneak in a message to them.    Good luck and I hope that this helps!

Answer 6

I'm sure the user will understand since besides yourself, there are others that feels the same way.

Hope your day was a very HAPPY one.

Answer 7

Sounds like he/she wants to control the situation.  Forget him/her.

Answer 8

I dont think it will hurt anyone's feelings if you dont accept them as your contact. If you cant make it a two way conversation by e mail it would be rather pointless.

Answer 9

I am sure they will understand and read this and know what has happened.  Many of us on here stopped contacts and fans because of problems and know that it is nothing personal

Happy Birthday Again Smiley!
