Hi dude,
 
I would be honored if you join my forum.

He must've got my email from my profile here - I haven't spoken to him anywhere else.

I was going to reply before reporting it as junk, but I'm not sure if I can be bothered.

@Vincent

Use whois to get the abuse email address of his ISP and report the spamming indicent. That's the only way to "reply" these things.

[EDIT]Oops, I just reread the msg and saw you actually did it already. Way to go :-)[/EDIT]

Maybe we should all spam his forums to get the free OS and make him go bankrupt :-D

Pity he probably means a copy though...

Subject: Sorry
 
 
Hey dude,
 
I was only trying to be nice by inviting you to join my forum.  I only invited certain people and you should be honored that I invited you.  Anyway, I am sorry that I bothered you.  It will not happen again.
 
Sincerely,
The DoomMaster


Since you are reading this retrogeek/Doomy/whatever I'd just like to say that I've never liked you, the times I've spoken to you or about you on these forums I can't remember saying one nice thing about you.  Hell, I can't even remember saying something impartial either.

I don't like you, never have.  So why ask me to join the forum?  There are plenty of other people here who hate you just as much as me.  I wonder if they got an invite :-)

Is that really the legend himself in the photo. Reminds me of something from deliverance. Cue banjos.
