the thing is, I was just looking for a picture of an “eye”. So, I Googled “eye” and a pretty decent picture showed up. no intention to pretend to be someone else, just wanted a cool picture of an eye. I linked it to my blog and that’s the end of the story.

guess, not.

After the real creepy Hitler pic and a scathing email, we ended the whole thing on a cool note.

lessoned learned.

Do you need a Ph.D. to be a “psychologist”? Just looking at his blog, I note that he’s misspelled “deservedly” as “deservidly” and “due” as “do”, and that’s reading like…one paragraph of text.

I’d figure you’d at least need a BA or something, jeez.

It turns out that this guy thought that Blogger had hitlered him, not me, so he didn’t make the connection at all. I wonder if your approach would’ve helped.

When I did it to a guy on a Nine Inch Nails web forum, he thought he’d been hacked. That was amusing. But you knew about that, since you commented on my blog post about it.

Hah, I put in mod_rewrite rules to rewrite *any* image requests from Xanga or Myspace ages ago. That’s a striking background, though.

The best part about that sort of thing is that it won’t be until one browser-cache-lifetime from now that he notices anything’s wrong!

Funny, I just found a bunch of myspace.com people using my images as their avatars or backgrounds. Have a look at

for one such picture leech.

(Oh, and his blog was a Blogger blog. It was just that while the picture on the blog was kind of creepy, the photo labeled "Photo" on the profile was way creepy.)
