If we ever get any kind of gift card I will definitely let you know. For some reason, I really like the idea of realtors returning to their homes to become prostitutes. Maybe I just have something against realtors. Holy shit Lawrence, that’s the best idea I’ve ever heard. If we ever get any kind of gift card I will definitely let you know.

Fighting them or going the DCMA route is a sure waste of your time and will accomplish nothing. Write back and say you would be delighted and that you are thrilled to be an honored blogger on their super illustrious website. Tell them that you always dreamed of the day when you would be fully recognized for your contributions and now you'll be able to show your parents that they were wrong - about everything. Ask them for a list of topics because you want to get started right away building up a notebook of raw material for their blog, stuff so amazing that people will literally trip on themselves to click on your posts. Tell them you hate to even charge anything, considering the widespread exposure you'll be receiving, but that some minor form of compensation that isn't straight cash would be best. Tell them you are partial to Walmart gift cards or Publix Green Stamps if they have any of those still. Oh, and be sure to ask about if they have Pokemon trading cards because that would be the best of all. If they bite, and you go round three with those idiots, just start sending them all sorts of insane rants that make no sense at all. Just write about whatever you want and just insert random keywords based on the topic. If they say they want articles on "home business", write about the business of selling homes and how it has plunged in recent years forcing many realtors to return back to their own home to work as prostitutes. Or if they ask for an article on search engine optimization, write a big blob of nothing about organizing the wires behind the servers at Yahoo and how dangerous it is, plus the heat and demands of the job, which are nearly equivalent to the working conditions in third-world countries. In other words, just make stuff up. If they actually send you a Walmart gift card, post a picture of it here and let us go laugh our heads off at your scam on them.

And the key additions to the left sidebar, of course. Off topic but all-important: LOVE the new side bar design for calling out the “read these first” titles, just great.

And then he has the cheek to assume that you'd be delighted to write several posts a month for something like a dollar an hour. I would send him an invoice.

The bad thing is that there's no prerequisite for common sense or professionalism to do so. I always consider the source before deciding how important ones words are. Clearly their words are of little importance when qualified by their obvious noobality. The great thing about the web is that anyone start a site/business.
