Dammit Ari, I can’t break the code!

(Odd, but Google Translate seems to think it’s Icelandic. I know it’s not. Hmm…)

It’s a simple substitution code where V=I and the rest of the letters follow alphabetically.

Ok, what gives?

You earned my trust by posting interesting content (before now). I was willing to give you my currency (attention & time). I allowed your posts to come to my email. I even put up with your fascination with porn using social media. Then you decide to stop following everyone in Twitter, which sent me a message: “I don’t matter to you. I’m not one of your chosen 100.”

Now you want me to decipher your blog which I take means you want me stop reading your blog. I am sure this is in jest but come on. If I knew you personally, I might smile and give you the benefit of the doubt. I don’t know you personally which means no benefit of the doubt.

H-m-m-m, great way to build relationships in Social Media that’s for sure. And if social media is about relationships, is this a good way to nurture one? And the way people read on the web, you really think they are going to spend time on this?

The message you’re sending me is, “I’m doing everything I can to get rid of people following me or giving me their attention. So how much are you willing to take from me before giving up? “

Sorry, don’t have that kind of time. This is one reader/customer who is disappointed in you. You and Hal can go spend your time spying on others. I give up.
