People are ridiculous

It might be a mistake for me to post this, but here I go anyway…

I just logged in to get the following message on myspace:

u know we have a family here and i dont really appeciate single women contacting my husband (name omitted) and kids father-GET A LIFE AND UR OWN MAN

I would like to respond, but I think that would be an even bigger mistake than posting this here. The husband and father in question is a guy I went to high school with.  (I *gasp* went to a dance with him once. When we were sophomores. Oh, and there was some harmless flirting senior year when we both had significant others away at college.)

At any rate, I’ve been out of high school for sixteen years. I don’t need this crap.

OMG we friended each other on myspace! And even sent a message! I must want to sleep with him!
For the record, sweetie, if you’ve wandered over here…I *have* a life, AND my own man, tyvm. I have zero interest in stealing yours away.

Good lord.

Wow, that's just ... wow. This is a day after reading filkerdave's account of a co-worker who managed to be offensive, inaccurate and nonsensical simultaneously.

Every now and then I rethink my support for the Campaign To Legally Tase All The Stupid. And then I hear stuff like this and think, "Nah."
