Person's signature line is: 'Feel free to message me about anything'

They seem to really be into messaging each other about anything, which is probably actually nothing. And a lot of them get banned too. And I bet most of the bans have to do with what went on in messaging rather than anything they posted to the forum.

I mean I kind of feel like poor Rudolph not playing in any of the reindeer games - but at the same time probably better off that way.

It's just shallow small talk, conversation about nothing. I struggle with that, too, but get me talking about something interesting and I won't shut up. :D

I think I can hold a conversation if and only if it has substance. I don't know about you, but you might be able to, as well. I wouldn't worry about it.
