Hate the sin. love the sinner
A couple of days ago I got am email from someone I haven't spoken to in quite a while. it was an invite to join a website called hi5, do any of you know it? I was bored and half asleep at work and thought I'd sign up to have a nosey around. I filled in the little form and got a profile.
I found a little box that said sign in here for yahoo address book. So I did. It showed me a big long list of all the people in my address book that had already signed up and all those that hadn't. 'Very nice, thank you' I said and clicked okay to go back to the main page. Only it didn't. perhaps it was because I was 6am and I was still sleepy or it was because I'm a cockface but it didn't return me to the main page it sent invites to every single email address in the list. There's all kinds of people I really didn't want to send stuff too. Work colleagues, online businesses, mailing lists, people I don't speak to anymore and some ex-girlfriends who I have no interest in having any kind of contact with and who feel the same about me. I was quite upset.
A couple of people signed up and added me, some asked me what the website was about (I don't know) and others expressed their displeasure at receiving the invite. These ranged from the 'Sorry, not interested' to the 'Fuck you, spammer! Unclean! Unclean!'.
So. If you got an invite from me and it made you cross I sincerely apologise and hope you can find it within yourself to forgive my gentle soul.
