Nasty Folks
The internet is an interesting place because of the perception of anonymity that it provides. If you have a website (and I have many) you receive a lot of email. Overwhelmingly, it is positive; but occasionally you hear from some really awful human beings.
Invariably, the begin their emails with hostile, angry criticisms:
 | "Why doesn't your website list farms in Outer Mongolia that produce Yakberries?" |
| "I went to your website and spent 5 minutes looking for heavy truck repair manuals and couldn't find a single one. You site is CRAP!" |
They never have a website of their own; but they appear to love to dish out criticisms of other people's websites. Note that they haven't PAID for anything, my websites are entirely free and open, but they act like they bought a new house and found out that the foundation was faulty.
Below are some of examples, the website they were referring to and the email address of the people who sent them. Feel free to send them lots of spam.
