Jerk #8: "link me, you bitch!"

[This guy did not seem to understand that I did not create a Web page so that he could have free advertising. He also made sweeping judgments of my character based on my unwillingness to cooperate. Read on.]


Pjs: hi
SwankiVY2: Hello.
Pjs: what are you doing?
SwankiVY2: Working on my web page
Pjs: hey check this out
SwankiVY2: what?

Pjs: oh yah it was spelled wrogn
SwankiVY2: I don't know, it came up only the second time you Imed it tom e
Pjs: spelling error
SwankiVY2: see how those matter? ::grin::
Pjs: that is probably the most frusterating thing with computers... one little error can make you go insane
SwankiVY2: none of the links work, is it supposed to be that way?
Pjs: well I just started it about 15 minutes ago
SwankiVY2: Oh, all right.
SwankiVY2: I don't usually send people to pages until they're ready to be explored, so I wasn't expecting thast.
SwankiVY2: that*
SwankiVY2: Unless I'm asking for advice or opinions on a new layout or something.
Pjs: well not everyone is like you
SwankiVY2: I know that.
SwankiVY2: And thank goodness.
Pjs: !!!!!
Pjs: well I just thought I would show you what I was doing.. why? for the HELL OF IT!!!! CACKLE!!!!
SwankiVY2: well, you sent me a link, and it was just a page of links and none of the links worked. . . . I wasn't sure if I was supposed to give you an opinion or something
Pjs: nahhhh SwankiVY2 just chatting with you for no particular reason
SwankiVY2: Well. good for you. I guess I'm going to continue working on my homepage now.
Pjs: hey put a link to www.swampshopper.com ok?

[Checking this page out, I saw that it was some University of Florida affiliated site designed to sell stuff. I do not put ADS on my page. So you can understand my answer. . . . ]


SwankiVY2: No.
Pjs: why???
SwankiVY2: I'm not your advertising service, that's not what my homepage is for.
Pjs: what is your page for
SwankiVY2: My homepage is a personal homepage.
Pjs: well I am an online buddy right?
SwankiVY2: So, that means that everyone who IMs me gets advertisements for their personal gain on my Web page? That's not my intent.
Pjs: well I will link to yours.... deal?
SwankiVY2: You do what you like. I'm not going to link there.
Pjs: oh I see!!!!!!!
SwankiVY2: see what?
Pjs: how you are!!!!!!!! don't you like to be friendly?
SwankiVY2: Sure. But I already told you once that I was not interested in advertising for whatever that site is, and you kept badgering me, so I needed to tell you more firmly, I suppose.
SwankiVY2: You didn't get the message when I said I wasn't interested in linking there because my site is not for that.
Pjs: hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm you play hard ball.. what is the longest boyfriend you ever had?
SwankiVY2: that's not any of your business.
Pjs: Oh I see

[He quit IMing me after that, for some reason. (Heh, I wonder why??) The question about the boyfriend threw me . . . it's amazing to me how often people make these judgments about me and think I'm a complete bitch who has no friends and does nerdy things all the time just because I don't respond positively to them.]

Comments from others:

Mikey: This one is a real genius, I guess the only way I can figure out why he wanted to have you link to the site was he knew his most likely sucked and knew that yours didn't and he wanted some attention, again not real brillant, obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed.
