If I can try to recap what she said in one sentence, it would be this:
"Why on Earth do you think that people - who are, in general, busy with their lives, preoccupied with their problems, behind on their schedules, frazzled by competing demands on their time - BOTHER to start talking to you unless they liked you enough???"

Poppy Princess, you live in the woods, though...
riotgrrl is in London and I am in Silicon Valley - high population density+high stress locales. If somebody contacts me, either they like me or they need something from me. Yeah, some people might be out to hurt, but most people fall into those two basic buckets - they either are interested in me or have some kind of a need that I might be able to address.
It might be different in your area.
