Cutoff Culture, Again

[deirdre]

So, not long after my cutoff culture post, I see a note in my spam box that’s clearly from ex numero dos. Unintentional, granted, as it looks like his account’s been hacked.

But what the fucking hell am I doing in his contact list anyway?

Chuck,

What’s really creepy is how many times and in how many ways I have to tell you not to contact me.

No, I don’t want you to be my Facebook friend.
No, I don’t want you to add me on LinkedIn.
No, I don’t want to be in your Google+ circles.
No, I don’t want to follow you on [X}, where X is any service out there.

I obviously can’t stop you from reading my blog, in which case you might have read this:

Since you probably don’t recognize yourself in that, you’re #2.

But, you know what? Get a life. Stop being so creepy. Remove me from your email contacts, ’cause that’s just not gonna happen.

Sorry to send this to other people, but his account was obviously hacked, and he’s always had a bunch of sockpuppets, so I’m not sure which of you are real and which are the email addresses he’s actively using. So long as the message is received and honored, I don’t care.

Adding this to my blog because reasons.

Fucking hell.
