Funmail

I've gotten a fair chunk of hatemail recently… I'll quote a small part of the message from the person I'd mentioned earlier as it's just way too funny in its idiocy:

IAM and BME were started because of someones passion, not because they are a publicly traded company. I have no problem dishing out the cash for a $50 game because it's going to a company, not directly to some guy making games out of his basement. Herin lies the problem, you're making the rich richer, which is what the republican party does, and I for one do not support that in any way shape or form.

Seriously, what level of doublethink does it take to believe that contributing financially to big companies over small personal ventures is the socially responsible thing to do, and that it somehow protects the poor to make big business richer?

I got this message from a person who was removed for doing pretty much nothing but sending sleazy over-the-top messages to girls on IAM. He was reported by quite a few people for what amounts to online sexual harassment:

THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT AND YOU NO IT. i havnt sexually harrassed anyone. ive been here for 6 fucken years. re up my account. if not fuck it fuck you and fuck your hole site. were all goen to fucken hell and you want be able to kick me the fuck out there. so look for me to be kicken the shit outta you for the rest of fucken eternity real soon.

Yeah, I'm afraid the “I'm going to kick your ass when we're both in hell” threat isn't one that worries me too much… And I do find it immensely amusing when a user that's been on IAM for only a short period claims to have been here for six years — about four years longer than the site has even existed!



At Heathrow, just after getting off the airplane.

Does that sign say No photography?

And no, Marty didn't get arrested… for that!

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
