    This guy goes onto craigslist, finds postings put up by unsuspecting victims, then he proceeds to bait them in, mess with them, confuse them, and or completely pizz these people off. When he’s done exchanging emails with these strangers back and fourth, he posts the entire email thread on his blog for us to laugh at! I’m telling you this guy is a genius with some of the crap he comes up with, I’ve laughed so hard at a few of these that I’ve started to cry!

    Here’s the link to his homepage: http://dontevenreply.com/

    Here are just a few of my favorites:

    Here’s the link to an archive of every one he’s ever done if you got some time to kill…

    Man, I am always trying to think of something fun like this to do on the internet.

    The first one was pretty good, I’ll have to read the rest at home.

    Craigslist is the one site I really never have visited much….as far as you know.

    I have heard of similar things while messing with telemarketers and survey folks calling the house – just a little harder to be anonymous on those.

    I’ve done that a few times, but I have no way of recording the whole conversation. That is a lot of fun.

    So this guy just picks people that put ads in Craigslist at random just to mess with them? How is that funny???

    Thanks for the post…making for a very entertaining night around here

    “From Me to Steve *****::

    Nine minutes? Why are you so slow, friend? Nine minutes! Man oh man, is that slow! In my country, you would not survive! You would be eaten by a lion or speared by a rhino! I am very sorry for you my friend. You remind me of my last running partner Jumu, he was eaten by a cheetah!”

    yeah well this isnt africa this is PHILLY. we have crackheads here, not rhinos or cheetahs or elephants and we sure as $#!^ dont have rainforests. come on man are you stupid?

    I was wondering if I was the only one that thought that. Maybe I am getting old or need to get out, but I just don’t see the humor in f’ing with someone that is trying to buy or sell something.

    For every conversation he puts on that website, he probably emailed 100 ads or more. It’s only the people that respond back to him with thinking he’s serious that get picked on.

    If someone responded to your ad and said any of the things that guy said, you simply wouldn’t respond. It’s the people that can’t understand sarcasm or look for an opportunity to jump on their soap box at every corner that we’re laughing at.

    Hell, even my buddy with Aspergers would pick up on the sarcasm in that guy’s responses (see what I did there).

    I think it is hilarious.

    I mean can you really be sympathetic for a guy with an ad like:

    Original ad:

    **** Disguisable weapons wanted ****

    Wanted: hidden blades, belt buckle knives, cane swords, etc…..

    Offering: cash, items for barter

    The end of the email chain where the guy loses it is a perfect ending. I mean, have a sense of humor and say, “Lol, ok, you got me”. By going off on a tirade to a stranger over email, well, you are just playing into it.

    I also like the comments at the bottom on the soccer one. How pathetic is it that you get upset about the joke that you completely miss the point and start arguing about soccer, rugby, etc.

    Funny as heck. Love the cat ones. “Yes your six kittens will be well treated. That is until I need to feed my tiger”.

    I was kidding. I seriously need all six kittens though. Disregard anything I said about a tiger.”

    How can you not appreciate the creativity (and handiness) it took to conceal an M16 to look like a case of Sprite?

    If some guy sent me those emails, I’d be too busy rolling on the floor laughing to even consider for a second that they were serious.

    I guess I messed up the experience by asking myself… “what kind of person would do this?”

    I just can’t get the imagery of some creepy, hasn’t showered in days, never had a girlfriend, weirdo that lives in his grandma’s basement and spends all day and night sending out harassing emails to people on CL until he gets someone to bite. I don’t find him clever. I find him disturbing and it makes it hard to see the humor in it.

    I was thinking the same basic thing, seemed more than little wrong to me. I just didn’t comment until I saw your post. Not very nice
