I really hate these harassing private messages. Wanting to collaborate is fine. The problem is, it's disrespectful. I don't reply, not because I didn't see it, but because I didn't want to. Frankly, I really hate being bombarded with phone calls, voice messages, and text messages. It's not that I'm being aloof, it's just an indescribable feeling. If you really want to collaborate, please be direct: how much, what we'll do. Don't waste a lot of time chatting only to end up trying to freeload off me.
