About 15 years ago, I ran a writers' group with some friends. Though it's been defunct for years, it still comes up if the relevant terms are searched for, and every now and again (about once every couple of years or so) I will get an email from someone interested in joining the group. I always reply politely, explaining that it's not running any more and offering suggestions as to where else the person might go for useful advice. So I got one of these emails last week and sent the usual reply, and got another email back from the enquirer which said ' Thanks. I would like to meet you when my divorce is finalised.'
WTF? I thought, and sent another email along the lines of 'try googling local writers' groups'. And now the mad fucker has sent me an invitation to come along to court for his next divorce hearing.
In what universe is this a) an appropriate way to behave and b) likely to win a woman's heart (or fanjo)?
