Fine Print / Canned Responses for @pourmecoffee
Below is the @pourmecoffee fine print and master inventory of canned responses for online dispute resolution. Numbers are for reference only.
- It is solely your responsibility to find the hilarity. No humor explanations.
- Please tell me more about how I might use my time and talent to perfectly match your unique sensibilities!
- I accept my (moral) (intellectual) (physical) inferiority.
- I acknowledge your (clever) (devastating) (hilarious) insult.
- I applaud your attempt to improve upon my original idea (from an opposing ideological view) (with a slightly different twist).
- I stipulate that you are a very big deal online.
- I acknowledge your more (nuanced) (intellectually rigorous) (fancy-sounding) take on my short, humorous tweet.
- I understand you are going to (block) (unfollow) (block/unfollow) me for righteous reasons.
- I recognize the unfathomable injustice of my insignificant voice drowning out the singular wisdom of yours.
- Thank you for praying for me.
- I accept that my (candidate) (idea) (team) lost a contested outcome which you now assert as complete vindication of your superiority over me.
- Thank you for the correction of a trivial (spelling) (grammatical) (typing) (semantic) error.
- I ackowledge your extrapolation of what you personally find humorous into a blanket judgment of objective comedic value.
- I confess to the exaggeration you identified. This technique is sometimes used in humor.
- I acknowledge that you tweeted/blogged the same or similar thing before me. Time constraints make it difficult for me to double-check the entire Internet before publishing. I don't knowingly steal stuff ever, period.
- I accept your (delcaration of victory) (accusation of cowardice) over my refusal to (engage) (debate) (argue) with you.
- I instantly and irreversibly block based on @replies I don't like. If you annoy me, even once, you will be immediately blocked. Yes, it's selfish. Yes, it's about me. That's the whole point. It's not that I care who reads my tweets; I just have no patience for conflict junkies or jerks polluting my stream. I don't like to be trolled, nitpicked, or insulted. This is a personal account. You're not paying for it. Shocking: I don't like to get hassled, and block to avoid it. I'm not the guy to satisfy your need for epic battles or flame wars. There are plenty of people itching for a fight, just not me. Go be annoying, rude or argumentative somewhere else.
- I don't reply a lot, but I only have so much Twitter time and believe the best contribution I can make is to attempt some smart, funny and/or interesting original content -- so that's what I try to do. I appreciate all retweets and mentions, but If you are into keeping score, demanding interaction, insisting on help for your cause, negotiating mentions and such -- this is probably not the feed for you. I want to focus my energy on trying to do something well: creating an original funny and/or interesting feed while being highly disciplined about the uncompensated time I spend online. If you don't like that, unfollow. I don't want to defend or discuss it.
- I sense my writing displeases you. I suggest not reading it.

This post is merely an inventory of boilerplate conflict responses. Writing @pourmecoffee is fun.
