Sorry. I made a mistake. I mentioned you only to let people know that you did not want to participate: did you not read what I wrote there?

No. Didn't read that (at first, did now). Why should I have read it after having you told 10 times that I don't have any interest?

You already tagged me yesterday (scrolling up), but that didn't give a notification. Since the post says it was edited, you probably added my name with that edit, which results in… no effect.

May I now turn on the notifications for tagging again?

You have my approval: but no one ever ordered you to turn them off to begin with.

Seems I'm not good in any form of indirectness. At least I tried, but the message didn't go through.
The question above with German bluntness:
"Will you finally stop spamming me with this topic - now and in the future?"
(Turned the things on again)

Spamming you? I nominate you a first time to invite you to play, and a second time (I shouldn't have put the "@", my bad) to make it public that you didn't want to participate: that's all. Come on, don't make a big deal out of a silliness.

Two times in this profile thread alone. Inside the strange EOF thread two times (with the "invitation" not reaching me due to the @ being in an edit).

The incident last year required me to say "no" more than once.

You crossed a border here. Please don't do it again.

I have been told some women have a strange internal mapping of the words yes/no/perhaps.
When she says "No" it means "Perhaps"
When she says "Perhaps" it means "Yes"
And finally, when she says "Yes", this means "No".

No idea if anything like this exists. For myself: "No" means "No". (Rest accordingly)

Nah, what you quoted is a petty male prejudice aimed at justifying his own arrogance and subjugating female will, prevalent in all times and places.
Anyway "mea culpa." I am already self-flagellating for my recklessness. I hope His Majesty will forgive me at some point.

"petty male prejudice"
That is discussion worthy.
Thinking again: I have encountered instances of this strange mapping, but never understood why anybody would do this?? Means: Why say something else than you think? Misunderstandings are inevitable.

It can happen, for a thousand complicated reasons. I was referring to the frequent male abuse/violence against women, justified in this way, "she said no, but meant yes, or vice versa," "she even lies to herself," or "I know better than she does what she wants" heard in the courts. Absurd and intolerable assertions.

We have had this slogan ("No means no!") in one of the hundred "We have to tighten sexual crime laws!" (which comes as often as "We have to tighten gun laws!")
Then this happened… and court was forced to judge like they didn't want. Never heard of the slogan again from there on…

I wouldn't have associated the strange mapping of words to wrong meanings with something serious like abuse and trying to justify abuse like this.
Sometimes it is hard to grasp the true inner will of a person, regardless of what the person says. Good reason for coherence statements ←→ thoughts+feelings.

Not only that. Often the subject himself does not know what he wants, conditioned by fears, imaginations and past memories or false information. He also wants and a moment later does not want anymore. Then continuous internal contradictions. Complex topic.

"Complex topic."
Oh yes. Especially when bringing sexual topics into the field. I might not know from own experience, but I'm an avid reader. Opinions and feelings might change right after orgasm.

Not joking: After the last few "We have to tighten sexual crime laws!", having sex without written statement of intention certificated by an official notary (each time!) is an unpredictable risk.

"having sex without written statement of intention certificated by an official notary (each time!) is an unpredictable risk."

Wow, you reacted with a ""; that's the first time toward me. How come?

Wow, you reacted with a ""
Maybe I missed the "" button?

My last message was no joke.

Isn't this a joke? You mean that in Germany before making love you have to sign a document in front of a notary? No kidding. Come on. Don't make fun of me.

No, there is no such explicit law (and nobody actually does this)

This wasn't meant as joke though. The sexual crime laws are a minefield and anybody can be a sex offender because their partner changed their mind.
