MORONLINE: my "Culprit Collection"

This blog began with letters I'd received from those on the social sites who don't read profiles, so they emailed me needlessly. It has veered into complete idiot territory, as now the bulk of these guys (and girls!) are clearly employed by swindlers. They do NOT pay attention to profiles, and they assume they are the only ones doing it & that their messages will be believable.

THE TITLE, "MORONLINE" SIMPLY PUTS 'MORON' AND 'ONLINE' TOGETHER.

I never knew there were so many people out there who:
1 - don't realize their scam technique is not unique

3 - actually expect replies!!

... these have to be the DRIPPIEST of all the emails I've received so far!

Someone didn't grasp my diplomacy. Drat: I had to get blunt. I wonder if that will sink in ... he's not a spammer, he's just dim.

hello,Nice to meet you...I live in the UK at the moment been here for 2yrs on work related and will be staying here for another 3 years....are u single ?have u kid(s)?Pls tell me what u do for living and what best occupies your spare time..hope to hear from you again soon.... Regards, John
--------------------------------------
Why, oh WHY don't these people PAY ATTENTION??? ... it's like they bring this upon themselves by disregarding my profile ~
Please don't write to me if you want a romantic partner, ok? I won't reply, and your email will be deleted.
If you JUST WANT FRIENDS, email me: don't 'wink', as I don't respond to winks, ok? My experience is that 'winks' are done to make me answer, then I get hit on. So DON'T 'WINK' at me if you want to be my friend.
Thanks.
I'm overweight. I don't get out much to exercise, and my apartment is very cluttered. I am stubborn, moody and I don't take much of life seriously, even church. I love God, but I didn't come to faith by way of church, so I don't have a religious routine. I don't pray in tongues, raise my hands, or have daily devotions.

I make a really good friend. THAT'S ALL. NOTHING MORE!! ...................... EVER!!

~ and when they write to me anyway, I end up feeling like a meanie.
READWILLYA!!

Seem to come in droves or not at all ..

That's two in one day after weeks on end of nothing. No yahoo addy on this one either; maybe it's a new spam tactic? .. funny that I get two back to back with no yahoo showing.
Now, this dude claims to want friends, but it's obvious he is seeking more, so I wrote to thank him but that I didn't want to lead him on.
*sigh* .. the ones who seemed okay with 'friendship' have disappeared. Duhmmm, go figure.

How u doing this Season..well read through your profile and thought it nice droping you some few lines just to let you know you are special nd would like to know who the pretty lady is.....Hope we could be friends cos i guess i love your personality and would like to hear back from you soon....Thanks and hoping you get back to me.. Regards, John
-------------------------------------
Oh well, guess I'll just have to be content with this trickle of misplaced enthusiasm.

Happy New Year, let's start with a thud.

Ugh!! .. the dreaded "hi dear" from a total stranger who thinks that's a good opening line. Now, he's unique in that there is no yahoo address, but he still fits into the "I didn't read it because I thought once I delivered my special brand of charm and sob story for extra kick it wouldn't matter" category. Then he says 'hello lady'. Uhmmmm, yah, this looks so well-thought-out and appropriate to his target.
runonsentencesandpoorspelingnottew
mention,grammarandpunctuationmistake'sandnocapitalletters
... YIKES!
... oh well, I did reply if only to say "just friends, sorry, as it says specifically in my profile, thanks anyway, bye."
Something tells me this one might try again, wondering why I just want to be friends. I'll let ya know.
