On August 18, I got this AIM message:
bracedtrout: Are you going to die?
Spam, I thought, and blocked it.
On August 19, I got this one:
reductivetrout: Let’s discuss botany!
Still spam, but he’s persistent and likes to change things up. Interesting.
On August 22, I got another one and decided to respond:
ornamentaltrout: What is your purpose in living?
Joey McAllister: Friend or foe?
ornamentaltrout: ?
ornamentaltrout: who is this?
Joey McAllister: Who do you think it is?
There’s definitely some bottage going on here. “Ornamentaltrout” appears to have no clue why I’m talking to him.
Today, I got another one, but at least there was some conversation:
nourishedtrout: Ask the next person you see if they like Colonel Angus.
Joey McAllister: I was wondering where you’d gotten to
nourishedtrout: gr8…..
Joey McAllister: Smashing!
nourishedtrout: I don’t really like trout…
Joey McAllister: Would you ever consider changing to another type of fish?
nourishedtrout: I don’t think so…
Joey McAllister: DisillusionedCod?
nourishedtrout: I don’t really like…. fish.
Joey McAllister: ah
Joey McAllister: To each his own, I suppose
nourishedtrout: I suppose
Joey McAllister: and so we suppose together
nourishedtrout: I don’t really like any sort of animal, take no offense..
Joey McAllister: I tend to save my offense taking for very special occasions, so no worries
nourishedtrout: Are we close companions Trout?
Joey McAllister: In the cosmic sense?
Joey McAllister: It’s a pretty big universe, and yet we keep bumping into each other like this. That must count for something.
It’s pretty obvious at this point that the first message is sent by the bot, but my response immediately goes to a masked AIM user. A quick Google revealed this Twitter post by @Riot telling us to respond to AIM trout with $optout. A search for AIM+Trout+$optout sent me to this helpful blog post: Trout Mystery Solved at The Chaos Fold.
So now the question is, do I $optout or do I make some attempt to enjoy the awkwardness of chatting with a masked person who thinks I’m a trout?
