Pavel -> RE: Is this normal behaviour in chat??? (9/18/2005 1:21:18 PM)

To be honest, I kinda enjoy the weirdos in chat. I suppose as a male, I don't get lots and lots of attention from the majority of wackjobs, but the ones I usually get are easy to toy with. Suggested counter-idiot tactics;
1. Demand passwords or authorization. This is best when combined with a response to an inncorrect password, or them getting confused ("password incorrect, user denied access to sexy webcam" or my favorite "access denied, homeland security alerted")
2. Respond with a totally unexptected phrase/word (I've taken to going "ribbit" or other animal noises whenever I get unwanted messages).
3. Accuse the accuser. When stupid people get in my face online, I tend to accuse them of being "card carrying memebers of the communist party" or alternately "scientologists." Bonus points are awarded based on how wild one can make the accusation ("You killed kenny and JFK!").
4. Probe to find out what exactly your oppostion happens to be. If they happen to be say, an Arab Male (I had a whole pile of guys from the middle east on yahoo who seemed quite convinced for reasons lost on me I was a hot american female just begging to have sex with them), claim to only lust for somthing totally opposite/potentially offensive to them (as in the Arab male case, I claimed to only have eyes for jewish people, which is semi-true, as I haven't met a jewish girl I wasn't quite fond of).
5. Speak in tounges. Most people give up after a few lines of text going like "glafph blahooty gamorgen!"
6. Use jedi mind tricks.
So long story short, yes, idiots are common in chat. They come in all shapes and varieties, and I suppose if you want to try to use chat, you just have to learn to adapt to them in one way or the other. I've talked to some spiffy people via chat though, so I'm not exactly giving up hope.
