The fuck? I've exchanged maybe one email with this person. The utter gall.

Moving on. liviapenn and I had this idea. We probably shouldn't be allowed to speak. We decided to give ourselves a review journal, in which we could criticize (and maul when appropriate) the worst fics of Smallville fandom. The very first post in verbaljudo and it's not a nice one, but then, I picked some rather terrible fics. ^_^

I think the person should be commended for using far too many emoticons and netspeak while making an asinine request. After all, if you're going for annoyingly bizarre, nothing works as well as that combo.

Why the hell would the person want the index page saved, though? What does that accomplish? Does the person not grasp the concept of archives? And why would I even care this early in the morning?

Ok, not only is that a stupid request. But quite rude as well. Makes you wonder what the person was smoking when they made that request. Of if they're just having you on.

Besides, all of that information is archived, she can just find it when she gets back (I'm assuming she's after the update log), it's not that big of a deal.

I think someone needs a smackdown for such impertinence. That's really... wow. There are no words for it.

Direct her to the listing of past indices, at the bottom of the index page.

Not only is this presumptuous and offensive, it's annoying to read. Someone who insists on writing in Netspeak should not feel that they are in a position to talk down to people - least of all intelligent people like 'u'.

Said smackdown has been delivered. ^_^

I think she was tweaking crystal. Either that or she was dropped on her head as a child, many, many times. *g*

I don't think she grasps the concept of well, anything.

There needs to be a hall of fame for this sort of thing. I think she'd do well in competition against other strange morons.

Scooooore!!!!

Rock on. So, do we get to see the piece of smackdownery ourselves? Because it would brighten up my day... smackdowns always do.

Aw, sorry. I didn't save a copy of the email. If you catch me on AIM I can spam you with smackdownish emails? Assuming I haven't deleted them...
