I Don't Answer Gestures Made to Whole Circle Stories of Experiences

I don't answer mass gestures.  Nothing personal against the person who sends them to their entire circle, but it's not for me.  If you want me to have a gesture, then send me one personally - not one that has been sent to a 100...

I'm not too keen on "mass gestures", because, hey, my feelings get in the way. But I do respond to some with a counter-gesture, depending on who they come from...

I just think, that its not special... maybe doing things like hugs and stuff are ohkai... but personal ones shouldnt be mass sent... its just not koo in my book... Sorri

Yeah, and once in a while, because I'll feel bad for not gesturing back, I will send one or two back.  I just don't like it. *shrugs*

To me, mass gestures are as annoying as the mass greeting cards. They are too impersonal and too generic to even bother to acknowledge them.
A simple, Hi, How are you ? inpires me more than dozens of mass greetings ever would.
If you...

if the gesturer even meant to gesture me... so circle gesture don't require a return gesture... duh!
 

There are a few people whose circle gestures I will answer but most I will not.I'm starting to think that when people make circle gestures it is for one of two reasons.. a)they want people to know they're still here or b)they may...

I really dislike them, myself. I tend to get very busy at times on EP, and if the computer slows down or EP slows down it can take ages to get to the gestures and then back out again so it annoys me when it's not a gesture to me...

I do tend to forget to respond to them.... Because it doesn't feel like a personal greeting. And I do get personal gestures from my other EPeeps, so I tend to answer them first. Then I just forget to answer the mass ones. :-/
My...

I figure the person is going to get bombarded with a trillion gestures anyway and I don't want to add to it by responding as well.

I admit I have sent circle gestures. I do think it is more appropriate to send individual gestures....

Because I sort of hinted that I might be leaving, and I was away for a few days I gestured my circle to let them know I was back. I don't anticipate using the "circle" gesture regularly.
I don't get the same buzz from...

I have to confess, I sent one by mistake once! but I'll never do that again. I think sending a gesture should be personalized.
I guess next thing on EP would be mass white board comment! you could write a comment on everyone white...
