Real Life Stress and Apologies

I am engaged in a very stressful project and while I try to keep the stress out of Alt (and the people I meet here) sometimes that just doesn't work. The result? I am preoccupied, abrupt, and less civil or courteous than I should be. My apologies to one and all who have wandered into this behavior.

The project, alas, goes on, but I hope this behavior stops and pretty darned quickly, too.

I know - I have beaten this topic to death - and I am as guilty as anyone when it comes to joining a room - and I must have had a reason - and then staying without adding anything - content, opinion, bad jokes - or participating, although that goes only as far as playing/scening which I prefer not to do in public.

In any event, I have an ego room and vanity place devoted to my writing. Several people have joined the room - and I am delighted to have them. But, because I am a needy -of-a-gun, I would really like them to actively participate in some way - the easiest and least troublesome being to comment on stories written or in progress or suggest new topics and narrative arcs.

As for me - see, all ego - I'll try to better by the rooms I belong to.

Cheers.

Not sure this is cause for celebration or incentive to get a life. (Laughs at himself.)

Are Pictures from the Internet Permitted on Alt?

It has been my understanding that it is counter to Alt policy for someone to use a fake picture as part of their profile. Sometimes these pictures are of adult movie stars and models; and sometimes they are provocative ads; and sometimes, well, it could be anything, I suppose.

I have reported these as a matter of course as I find them intentionally misleading.

Am I wrong? Are some pictures downloaded from the net acceptable? If so, I might owe at least one person a sincere apology.

But if so, then doesn't Alt have a responsibility to take some action against the person reported? (Rhetorical - the answer, of course, is Yes.)

IM - So many Questions - Well, Two, Actually

I see more and more Altizens on IM and not in rooms (at least, not those I frequent). I understand that for many, IM has the advantage of being private, of not leaving a digital scroll that has to erased, and so forth. So, what are the rules of civility on IM? Is a polite introduction sufficient, such as, "I read your profile and think we might get along - would you like to chat and find out?" And after you send such a note (or you receive such a note) how long do you typically wait for a polite reply? Just curious. Thanks.
