Mocking of the Demanding Dater

mishalakTo protect a fool from his own idiocy I don't use the names in this true account. No need for me to be excessively cruel.
So I'm talking to this guy on gay.com a few nights ago, and I'm a little bit interested. Send him an email like he asks and he comes back with all these demands to see pictures write this and that get a phone number, etc.. I figure it doesn't lose me anything to send him another email, as long as I don't give too much away, after all there are dangerous sorts about on the internet. And I'm a man with a twisty suspicious mind.
So what I send him is mostly true. I even include a picture. He gets upset that I didn't carry out his demands to the letter, sends his demands again. I roll my eyes a bit and tell him "Thank you for your time, but given your response I doubt we would get along very well." A fairly polite brush off. Tonight he replies with, "lol... well, I'd guess that someone who can't follow the simplest of directions, you're probably right. I don't know how I could possibly make the application easier.."
Point of fact, his directions were anything but clear. I know a thing or two about writing clear directions, I have to do it rather frequently. But I'm going to let it drop because I've no need to hit the tar baby, but by thunder I'm so tempted to give him a piece of my wit and a nickel to go buy a clue. "And what, your attempt at an insult is supposed to make me sorry I didn't hook up with your sorry ass? You sound abusive, manipulative, and excessively demanding. And not only that the fact that you give nothing more of yourself before demanding I tell you everything of me has me wondering if that picture you use is even you." Plus I would add in a few more observations on lack of character despite being older than myself. I have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone, and I've got more sense than him.
Pitty the man who tries to take advantage of the Food Thief, the Mercurial Madman, the one and only Mishalak. <evil laugh> Now I'm really tempted to jerk his chain about a bit. I've got to talk myself out of it, not nice to be nasty to the less gifted. Plus I probably shouldn't have even given him a chance, the moment I saw the demands I should have just ignored him, but hey, it got me a nice mocking entry to write. So I'm happy.
Oh and if you go to see Pirates of the Caribbean you'll be wanting to stay through the credits. Oh and I review it as good B movie fun in the tradition of Sleepy Hollow, lots of action and a classic over the top plot. Not bad at all.
And the reason I went to it was Paul Domes was the only one to show for the movie night and he preferred it to League.
