It started here:[04:07 PM] alex3cordoba Blackbart: https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&MerchantID=902336
The link led to a dismal back alley display of what I can only assume were originally full-perm items that Mr. 46-days-in-SL-and-counting put up for quick Lindens.
This was the third time I'd seen that avatar spam that line this morning. Three different groups, mind.
I snapped. I sent him this:[04:55 PM] Emilly Orr: Are you mentally challenged? That's three separate groups I'm in you've spammed with that line. You're asking to be muted.
Namely, because I was upset, but also, because I have very little patience with things, currently. I'm working on being more patient, and more understanding, but it's difficult when I start off wanting to throw things before anyone's even typed "wher r u? r u a rel gurl?".
This is what he sent back:[05:09 PM] alex3cordoba Blackbart: hola
Which made no real sense, honestly--I get he's saying he doesn't speak English, fine, but he wants to tell me he's having a goddamn sale on top of spamming the wrong groups?
[17:11] alex3cordoba Blackbart: no hablo ingles
[05:11 PM] alex3cordoba Blackbart: lo ciento pero no estaba
I had gotten distracted at this point, I admit; trying to move through the netbook lag to travel the world, on a day where there is severe packet loss is not easy--so it was some time before I sent back a reply:[05:37 PM] Emilly Orr: Entonces lo haré llano. Si usted no para el enviar de su anuncio de XStreet, le acallaré y recomendaré que otros hacen iguales.
Badly translated, of course, by Babelfish. I'm standing by that, though. I also went ahead and muted him; with my patience level, I just don't have the desire to deal with stupid people.
