World Wide Web full of Wackos

Internet is a funny place. Not only do you have to watch out for distant friends and acquaintances who doesn't master the fine arts of integrity and common sense as well as yourself and they might post texts and photos taken of you without your permission on their private blogs, Facebook walls or twitter pages, but there are also another type of creepy followers out there. With a blog like ours, this is maybe something to get used to as we're kind of private here and I can't hide the fact that there might be some content and photos in this blog which might tempt and distract and frustrate the ones who are easy to provoke. Let me now present to you one of the latest admirers of ours. This is a guy who apparently has a lot of spare time in his life and he has for a while now tried to get our attention, usually I do not let crazy people like this disturb my day but this one is so funny that I'd like to share it with you all:

First email of this conversation:


Whereupon I very shortly replied:

"Luis, get a life and fuck off, will you?
Best regards, Taru"

And this was something that apparently made him go crazy over there in Portugal as he took it one step further. He copied our little conversation and he sent it out to all of our sponsors and advertisers on the blog and sent me a copy of all the emails, saying:


He took the time to collect all of the email addresses he could possibly find on the Internet connected to the brands we work with, just to make sure that someone, please anyone!, could hear what he had to say. Also what is funny is that he said the same thing to all of the sponsors, "As a client of North Sails, Sperry Top Sider, Remoska .." Hilarious.

Isn't this such a funny anecdote from the world of online behavior in the 21st century. How many frustrating people are there out there, I wonder? How many unhappy and desperate human beings will we have to encounter - we bloggers and people who share our stories online. It comes with the job I assume, saying this with six years of blogging experience, but never will I stop getting surprised over how many of those locos there are out there. Like I said to Alex earlier; "we have just crossed one of the largest oceans of the world to get away from bullshit yet it seem to follow us more now than ever".

Oh lord, I'd much rather read stuff like this.
