Automatic Angry
I have an auto-response on my Twitter. Most of you know that. Most of you also have auto-response messages on your Twitter. And while I think they are a hair cheesy, and I’m accentuating it’s cheesiness but pointing it out, I still have one… and so do you. Here’s what mine says.
This is a completely automated message, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be friends. www.skorinc.us/brodyharper.com
Simple enough right? I mean, I’m accepting the fact that it’s an automated message. I’m telling you it’s an automated message and I’m giving you the option to connect with me on a personal level over on my blog. Seems like a pretty decent situation right?
Well, this morning I woke up to an ‘@ reply’ message from someone apparently offended by my ‘auto-response’. I will leave off their Twitter name and all that to protect them from further ridicule, but here’s what their @ message said:
@brodyharper: Who the Hell do You think U are DM Me With BS.. Dude B Real Or B Fake… Don’t B sending Me auto DM.. I wanna Hear From You!!!
Goodness. That seems a little angry, don’t you think? Now, normally I would just blow something like this off, but I decided to do a little research and at least check out the link that this person has in their bio. You know, to check out their blog or ‘hear from them’ and the link goes to this place. The Christian Foundation for Children and Aging. Seems like a good organization. I wonder how this person is connected. Must be through Christ’s love. Yep, that must be the connection. I can tell. I will be honest though, I’m starting to feel a little like Noah, or at least his third verse.
So, there you are Mr. or Mrs. Twitter message person. Now you’ve ‘heard from me’. And no this was not an automated message… and it still doesn’t mean we can’t be friends.
Wow man … Such love exemplified from that individual. I wonder though, are they really connected or just another pompous want to be? Hmmmm.
Wow. I think I would click on the ‘block’ link. That’s just me.
“Dude B Real Or B Fake”
My favorite part.
What is funny is I know for a fact if they would have just taken a moment to tweet to you or even comment on your blog, you would have responded personally. I think some one is a bit trigger happy. thanks for posting, a good chuckle.
Yeah, I’m feeling the Love.
Good reminder why all of us should really keep it real. Also makes it a little clearer why the world sometime looks at “christians” and call us by our right name…hypocrites. (Not sure if I should put a + or – but you get the point.)
Dude got the protocol wrong. Forgot the “-” at the end of the tweet.
Since I protect my tweets, I have less problems with auto-anything. I do like that “block” part, though! What a way to inspire others! +
What an amazing story… kind of like “I was just flipped off by a silver-haired old lady, with a ‘honk if you love Jesus’ sticker on the bumper of her car”. (to quote my friend Antsy)
dang…I sure hope this person finds out that they made your blog…and to be a fly on the wall when they read it…hilarious.
Oh wow… Someone needs to pull back a tad on the caffeine.
I got your auto reply when I joined the Twitter craze here a couple of weeks ago and began following your tweets. I read it and about blew milk out my nose. I read it again and thought to myself… That’s the Brody that I know and love. I read it to my dear wife and she laughed out loud as well. we both agreed that the clever comedy was right on and fully transparent.
Oh well…
“we are one in the spirit, we are one in the….”
Really!?
I’ve always thought you were fake. In fact you probably don’t even twitter. You use some unpaid intern to do it for you, under the guise that they are learning from you. I know your kind.
wait never mind…
lol, you might be on to something there Kyle.
That guy/girl needs to take a breath.
I’m so going through all your followers now to figure out who it was!
I like what Kyle posted up there. I think he may have it right
Whatever Brody, we all know you’re just an invissible ninja.
Yeah, Brody, why can’t you be more real, like your brother, Bluto?
What’s “Twitter”?
I HATE auto dms. Just sayin.
Lovin’ the clever post title on this one. Reading all these comments was almost as fun as reading the post.
