Why exactly did you volunteer that?

For those who haven't been paying attention ... this should solidify the impression that you have likely been forming of PBJ ... sending people out of their way, into potential harm just because he wants to.

Nice one, Jim.

Since I expected that he would try to pull this post (once he realized that it would reflect accurately upon him), I hit the QUOTE button in anticipation ...

I gotta admit I kinda pulled this stunt on someone once.

If you do a search for a certain item using a fairly generic input into Google, you turned up an ad for something I sold years ago.  It was an ad placed in Texas and it showed up as about the third or fourth hit... and considering this was something that's available worldwide, it truly was amazing (if any of us could figure out how to manipulate google like this, we'd be rich).

If you threw in the city name, it would be the #1 hit.  Now, this ad was something I had posted in 2002, it got reposted to some weird Canadian archive, and I got an e-mail in 2007 asking if it was still available.

At first I thought the guy was messing with me.. it was a 5 year old ad, but he seemed sincere about it.

I finally sent him on a snipe hunt to a fairly rough part of town.  And I'm pretty sure he went out there because we were discussing details up until the last minute... and I made sure to tell him to meet me at a time when I knew the drug dealers and prostitutes started getting restless.

Then, to really rub it in, I sent him an e-mail the next afternoon, basically going, "What the ---fudgesicle---, dude?!  I sat around for 2 hours waiting on your ass"

Never heard from him again. 

Nice try Jim.

I've got to say, that's one of the most ignorant thing I've ever read.  You're a class act. 


I sincerely hope you just made this up for whatever unknown psychological need you have for attention.  If not, you really are the scumbag everyone keeps saying you are.

I think your main problem is that you confuse the byoac forums with rgvac and klov. Your "joke" would have went over great at those places.

Either way, intentionally trying to send someone into a questionable neighborhood that could lead them to be injured is not very funny. Giving them some old lady's address, that is funny.

Depends on other things, too.  If I rented a truck and drove 50 miles, I'd be ready to crack his skull, even if it was a safe fake address.  If I went 5 miles at little cost of time and money, I'd be annoyed, but not nearly as angry.

Either way I just don't see any point in wasting anyone's time like that.  Karma is a cold ---smurfette--- and will give you gonorrhea when you deserve it.

I went to look at a pin 80 miles away from a craigs ad last Friday. The whole way there I kept thinking "what if this is like that frizz scam?"

Luckily, there were actually both sellers and a pin there.

We'd be mad too, because you would have posted 50 times asking how to fit said item into said truck.
