I learned in a german chat room that because I offered to visit my homepage that's in english, where they could meet Orchid, that they kept attacking me for being some malicious person who want to lure them onto a malicious website. I am really frustrated about so much distrust. I understand people to be careful and it's good to be, but being accused of a bad person with bad intent. How can I protect myself from those kind of verbal attacks? Am I not to mention anymore that I have a homepage?

Lady Orchid, some people may be bitter over past experiences, and others are just baiting you. I would ignore them and talk to people who give you the benefit of the doubt.

Well it's okay to be bitter over past experiences but it hurts when you mean good and people who don't know you stubbornly want to believe you are evil. And who likes to be hurt unless they are happy to get hurt? Oh well, just got to live with it.

B.T.W. this is a round message # whoopdee doo

Sure. At least you get to be evil. Try being stuck being the good one.

I hope 16 year olds are premitted, I was 16 when i signed up here. or wait no i was 17? hmmm... No i was 18.. don't tell me im getting senile already!

It's not exactly about age. Jazake, you make good posts, and you make bots. You think about how other people here may feel, and you are polite. If I had a daughter, she'd have my blessings to date you.
You are a good member of this community.

Some other young people, however, seem to how no concept of how to not be a royal pain in the neck. There is a big difference.
