Mefite 1: I got it! Let's spam him.
Mefite 2: Great idea. I'll send him an e-mail.
ten minutes later
Mefite 2: What's this? I owe him money for spamming him?!?! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo, that clever bastard. Our brilliant plan has gone astray, broken asunder by a mind more magnificent than our collective own.
Mefite 1: All I can do is clench my fists in frustration and let out a scream of primal rage.
Mefite 2: Do it!
Mefite 1:Geragaaaaaawaaaaageraaaaawan!
Mefite 2:I'm in awe.
Moral: Sometimes smart people are too smart to stop.
This ends mefi community theater for this evening.

alternate scenario:
mefite #1: Hmmm. This is a blatant self-link!
mefite #1: It is. I'll delete the post and if he ever tries this again, he's banned.

By the way, there is a proper MetaFilter term for self-links...

Well, yeah, but what fun is that? I was just pointing out--in a round-a-bout the obvious of what I say is what I mean way--that he didn't seem to be doing it in an "I'm an evil genius directing traffic to my message board post in a very nefarious manner" kind of way. Or he wouldn't have made it so obvious. Perhaps an instance of mefi-rule ignorance.
And if it was supposed to be a dark plot to garner attention, he's an idiot and my original theatrics about the idiocy stand.
Ta-da.

Duh, I don't speak so good. Sometimes I get confused with what I'm typing over IM and what I'm typing to the site. Obvious should have read opposite.

I made a mistake too:
When I typed,
It is. I'll delete the post and if he ever tries this again, he's banned.
I meant to type:
Off with his head!

No, look at filecraves profile and you will see that he links to his domain, georgeboone.com.
Also, his AIM username is the same as the username of the post he linked to...so its pretty clear that this is a self-link, and I hate those.
