The Prequel: Part 1, Part 2, and Summary

Brief Background:These conversations are taken from instant messages sent to me on my personal AIM account, about products made by Rogue Amoeba, and they are unedited. My last message to Charles, of MyPersonalGetAway.com was a month ago, telling him politely but forcefully to leave me alone as Rogue Amoeba would have nothing to do with him. Since then, I haven't said a word, I've just let the madness happen. I can only imagine exactly who this person is. I picture him as a foolish 14 year old who thinks he's an adult because he has a website that no one visits, but maybe I'm wrong. That would be even sadder. Anyhow, it's beautiful really, in all its madness.

March 17th - I tell Charles to politely fuck off, then block him.
20:25 Paul: Charles, I'm afraid that at this time, the pleasure of our meeting is all yours. Let me put this bluntly - business isn't done this way. First and foremost, this contact is disrespectful of my privacy and as noted previously, unwelcome. Second, one does not demand serial numbers for applications you wish to review, particularly via multiple outlets. Your message which said "We'll expect an e-mail tommorrow, Pablo. charles@mypersonalgetaway.com" is in poor taste, to say the least.

I requested that you please not IM me, as this is not a business name, it's for my personal use. But despite my saying that, you IMed me with another name, or two, (Either you passed me on to Matt Fuller, or you are him - it doesn't really matter which). Once again, this is not acceptable. Now, good night.

Later that night, I unblock everyone, and get the psychotic messages which follow.

21:04 Charles: Thanks for the serial.
21:04 Charles: I appreciate it.
21:05 Charles: And, your e-mail address also isn't formal. Don't criticise mine. The customer is ALWAYS right. You argue with the customer, you lose buisness. Please change your attitude immediately.

21:19 Charles: You are so bond, it's scary!
21:19 Charles: My brother is 16 years old and he is a bodybuilder.
21:19 Charles: Give me a serial by tommorrow, please.
