Say you were accused of something you hadn't done and suffered some ramifications for it and you message the accuser letting them know they were wrong and asking why they thought you had done this deed - the accuser reads the message but totally disregards it - neither acknowledges they received the message nor that they were wrong.
What would you think? Would you think they are rude or that they are just to weak to admit their mistake or some other conclusion?
I'm after opinions....
Solved! Go to Solution.

I think they are weak., and maybe they don't won't to admit they are wrong because they actually like all the trouble it caused

I would think that they are too self-centred to entertain the very notion of replying
I would think they do not believe your protestations, and believe they are on the
higher moral ground, albeit incorrectly.
Howzat?

I would like to add embarrassed or not it is a pretty low thing to do not own up to a mistake ecspecially when someone else has copped ramifications over it
in future i would be giving them a wide birth.

this type would have no class what so ever, the lowest of the low. burlting out rubbish & refusing to provide evidence to back up any false claims...lying and causing unneccassary trouble!..is a reflection on them...no cred

Are we talking real life or social media and were the ramifictions serious?
They might be embarrassed to admit they are wrong,
They might be worried about possible ramifications for them if they admit they are wrong
Or they might just be so bloody minded nothing will ever convince them they are wrong.
You are the best one to judge which applies, and either way, unless it is really important to prove they are wrong I'd just shrug my shoulders and say 'Well, sod you then.' Specially if it's only social media.
You know the old saying "the people who matter won't mind and the people who mind won't matter. "

That's an interesting one, I'd think as a courtesy a reply was warranted with an explanation for their unfounded accusation. It's always advisable if making any form of accusation of anyone that an accuser has evidence to back up their statements and if not well an apology would be in order.

Unfortunately people often take as
Truth third hand information that they
Have heard and like to believe it.
Whether it is true or not can sometimes
Be irrelevant.
Unless you can actually prove that
You are innocent or approach the
Person who started the rumour and
Get them to withdraw the untruth in front of
The third party then I believe you just need
To accept it and move on.
Or you could set a bait as another
Rumour with the third parties prior knowledge
To prove this person is malicious

Some people like to
Have a little drama in
Their otherwise mundane lives
And this often causes gossip and
Innuendo

that's true. I've read a few doozies lately

i'm going to give you the green tick because i think you are right.

Sometimes you just have to let things go and
Move on because some people really don't
Warrant worrying about

pepe I think if someone has chosen to believe something that's not true/right.. then let it go
(PS thanks for the green tick)
you're right again opmania- I think sometimes 3rd hand information etc. says a lot more about the person spreading the rumours than anyone else - and they are not worth worrying about

if they ignored me, i would assume
they just dont care.
things like that happen on social media
all the time.
if the ramifications are serious ie if you
feel you have a defamation case then
you should do something about that.
if its just gossip with no serious
ramifications -
meh
