I think the worst kind of flames are either...
1)When people send you a neomail with not real way to reply (not even with a Thank You), and when you don't, they neomail you back with this long string of "U DIDN'T ANWER MY NEOMAIL I HAT U!!11"
2) Idiots who don't understand that just because I block neofriend requests dosen't mean I'm a horrible person, and then try to sit there telling me that if I don't unblock neofriends they will report me (...?)

Oh my. Linnen, you've just reminded me of an incident involving the only person I have ever had to block. She was in my litte brother's class and got my username from when she caught me playing neopets at school. We became neofriends then didn't talk for a LONG time. After a while, she started to neomail me. She had this REALLY annoying method of neomailing: one sentance per neomail. AUGH! I told her to stop it, but she didn't. Instead, she started bugging me about joining her guild. When I politely told her no, she neomailed a (or rather a series of, due to her unique style) message entitled "MY PET IS AFTER YOUR BLOOD!!!" telling me that I was a mean person. I told her to quit it or I would block and she said "IF YOU SDON'T JOIN MY GUILD I'M GOING TO TELL ALL OF MY FRIENDS THAT YOU THREATENED ME AND EVERYONE WILL HATE YOU!!!" Gee, what a charming person. I deleted her from my neofriends list, informing her that I was doing so, and she replied "You are a VERY nice person. I like you a lot. Pleas let me be your neofriend again!" I didn't, so after trying to make me her neofriend on various different accounts she sent me another angry message and then blocked me. FOr the next week I had a number of people neomailing me saying "Are you really mean? My friend says you are." When I explained it them, they usually said "Oh, yeah, that's happened to me plenty of times."

Unfortunately, that wasn't the end. A while later she neomailed me, sounding rather sincere and not using her normal "technique" for neomails, asking if we could try again. I couldn't reply because she had blocked me, so I asked a friend of mine, copperleaf, if she could do tell her. She did, I was unblocked, and I agreed. The NEXT thing I know, she's barraging me with neomails saying "Listen to me, Copperleaf is MEAN." "Copperleaf says she hates your guts." "Copperleaf threatened to eat me in the battledome." I'm thinking Sure, why does THAT sound so familiar? It turned out that she had tried to pull the same "JOIN MY GUILD OR ELSE!" stunt on Copperleaf that she had with me. Copperleaf said something along the lines of "I don't know how many neomails entitled 'MY PET IS AFTER YOUR BLOOD!!!' I can take. What a charming person. Still, you've got to admit that she's pretty amusing. 'Eat me in the battledome', LoL!" So, I blocked this person and have had no troubles with her since. Copperleaf did the same.

Ha! Bravo ember! Bravo!
Idiocy annoys me, mostly those one sentence neomails. They take up space and are just time wasters...-_-

I know I'm stating the obvious, but that person has issues.
I have about 15 people on my block list, most of them beggars or rude people who I just didn't want to hear about again. Most of them probably forget I exist, but I don't mind. I know I probably will never benefit from communicating with them, so I don't mind keeping their names on the list.
Back in the days when I was a knight-in-shining-armor on the NeoQuest chat I had an issue with someone who sent rude neomails via multiple accounts and I had to block a bunch of their accounts. I don't remember the details, and I don't think they'd enlighten anybody.

I have decided on my reply to any hate mail I may get. Now I kind of want some just to try out this reply...
"You are absolutely right! My stories are horrendous and should be devoured by radiactive ferrets so no one will have to suffer the agony of having to read them. In fact, I am so sorry you were forced to read such a miserable story, I think you deserve something in compensation. How about a nice toy sail boat or a bottle of sand? I am sure your comments about myself as a person are 100% correct also. Nevermind the fact you have never met me, but I'm positive you are a mind-reader. After all, you're also an expert on literature.
Oh, I'm sorry. Did I use too many big words? Here, I'll scale it down so you can understand.
U R RITE!!!!!!!!!!! STORYZ SUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Obviously, this would have to be edited dependent on what the hate mail read... but I think it'd be fun to try out on someone. *waits for first victim*

Obviously, this would have to be edited dependent on what the hate mail read... but I think it'd be fun to try out on someone. *waits for first victim* Nice touch, especially in the ferret part. I've actually had very few hate mails (considering I've only had one story in the NT, and one poem in the Poetry Comp.), but the ones I have had have come from the Trading Post or, even worse, when I did the Beauty Contest (I did it 3 times... worst three weeks of my life). Trading Post: I think I spent half my time making fun of scammer on the chat boards (yes, I'm a chat troll) because I saw at least every 30 seconds, a scam about "THIS LUCKY DIE WIL MAK U WILL IN DICE-A-ROO!!!!!!11" or "THS IS RETIRED HT ITEM!!! 1,ooo,OO,ooo NPS PURE!!!" or even worse "I WIL TEL U HOW 2 MAKE 1,ooo,ooo NPS EVRYDAY!!! JUS GIV ME CODSTOME OR FAIRY". Ugh. Getting rid of my stupid stuff that didn't sell in my shop would've taken half the time if I didn't report so many scammers... Then I got a hate mail. They yelled at me about... (wait'll you hear this) being on Meridell's side in the war. "U R EVIL IF U SUPPORT MERIDEL, JON DAGIRAN TODAY!", to which I replied, "No thanks, I like Meridell." Then the classic, "I WILL REPORT U IF U DONT JON DAGIRAN". I should've asked who "Dagiran" is, considering it was probably some 7-yr-old who doesn't even bother to copy and paste the name "Darigan". Beauty Contest: The worst, especially since my picture could only have been drawn through the How-To-Draw section (I have no artistic ability in that respect). I became a BC Chat Board troll for the last week, and neomailed all of my neofriends to vote for me (think of all the idiots that request to become my neofriend when I enter one story, in hopes that I'll give them an item. Boy I love using traps on dummies). As usual, I immediately slipped to about 35 votes, 3rd place (in species), and slowly moved on from there. I let everyone know it was hand-drawn (a computer would've made a much better picture), and I hadn't won yet, yadda yadda. But I DID get hate mail, especially once I won for species (yes, I have retired from the BC, now that my skeith has one little trophy). I had neomailed most of my competitors (the ones that hand-drawns) wishing them good luck, and then when I won, the skeith in second neomailed me saying, 'U SUK!!! U DIDNT DESERVE FIRST!!! U CHEATED!!! UR FRIENDS WITH THE NEOPETS STAFF!!! U BOUHT VOTES!!!" (I think they said something else, but that's what I remember best) I replied, "I'm sorry you didn't win, but I do hope you try again sometime, your pic was really good. Good luck!  " They never replied. |

*shudders* Ah yes, the Beautylarity Contest. I swear to Illusen, Iyanna, Shankly, and Donna that I will never enter my own pets in that thing. Sometimes I help friends out in it if I think their artwork merits it, but only after warning them that they are in a tricky bussiness. I'd like to get that Greg guy - whoever he is - in sights of my Earth Bow. He is one evil, EVIL Neonut. *nods*

Oh, the joys of Hate Mail! I wish I had saved some from the Lupe/Chia debate, those were simply golden!
But, let's see what I can dig up now...
'hey i was wondering if ur neopet would like a gurlfriend.if so then just neomail me.:-D'
'Great episode of fluffy the corbrall my only question WHERE WAS FLUFFY'
'Hiya al_the_chia!
Could you please put your Lupe Battle Claw under
Two Thousand Neopoints,please??my brother really wants it and I want to give it to him for Christmas and it is Christmas eve tommorrow!
Pleaseeeeee???'
'how much will you ask to get the Starry Lupe Plushie in your shop? i need it for illuson's quest so HURRY!'
But I have positive ones, too.

I guess I kind of got my first "hate mail" today. Sort of. "interesting that a girl that speaks against evil and violence with such conviction could be a darigan apprentice, a comment?" I don't know why, but something about the wording and tone of this neomail just sent my flying into rage. I didn't reply as I wanted to. I guess my reply was a little rude.  But something about that really rubbed me te wrong way. I got another neomail about the war as well, but it didn't bother me because it wasn't so--sarcastic. "I happened to come across your Neopian Times article, and I've a question for you: Yes, you believe battle is bad unless it's against evil. Why than did you fight for Darigan in the war when neither side was truly good or evil? I respect your belief in the good of Darigan as of my belief in the good of Meridell, however all must agree that both sides had good and evil points, thus you made a self-contradictory point in the writing of your recent article. If there's one thing a writer should never be, it's hypocritical." This one didn't bother me because I could calmly and politely explain what happened. Maybe I shouldn't have sent in that article; I don't like that series anymore, anyway, so....  |
