mckenzeeI insulted a Nigerian scammer today.
I got an email lying to me about government officials and off-shore accounts and he needed my help to move the money and he would deposit $30 million in my account and... I got offended.
And a funny thing happened.
My spine stiffened.
I felt that they were associating me with something dishonorable.
I felt besmirched.
I wrote back and said,
“You, sir, are an idiot and a thief and you take me for the same. SHAME!”
Pointless, I’m sure, but I feel better now.
