There is a Kwok history. Visiting Santa at the mall in December wouldn’t make sense either if you never knew about Christmas.

Also, that still doesn’t make clear why you bothered answering, tho, if all that would happen is a little message thing i the upper corner of the screen. Or is answering this guy the “special thing?” Seems to me a lot of silly for little return, though it was funny to read.

Depending on your privacy settings (good luck figuring that out!) anyone on facebook cam send you a message. But you cam name it stop in one of two ways:

1) Block them;

2) Tell them you have a friend who works for the CIA!

You say this is the FB “Email” — that’s the message function right? I mean, there isn’t anything that pops up on the screen and forces you to answer is there? I’m sorry if it sounds like I am focusing on the technological stuff here but some of it is I want to know what to do and if this can happen to me.

(Pretend you’re explaining this to your non-techie parents, or the dumbest student in the class 🙂 )

The screen shots look like FB to me, is it some other network? I’m sorry if I sound stupid.

If I include both then I’ve got a LOT of friends who are or were with the CIA!

This is not an FB interaction . Believe me, I ignore/delete/block people messing with me on FB (and Twitter and on this blog) all the time.

This was a Kwok Event. It’s a special thing.

(There is some context here: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/John_Kwok)

Also, I discovered that having a friend in the CIA is apparently enough to get Kwok to back off. I’ve not heard from him since. That’s pretty amazing. I’ll give it a few more weeks before I call my CIA friend off, I guess. 🙂

You told him to piss off, and you answered wen he didn’t. Why? I’ve had FB interactions where I thought a person wasn’t worth responding to… and I didn’t respond. Or, if I get those messages, I just delete them, or ignore them, like I ignore unsolicited Linkedin reqs from people who I don’t know.

(Much fun as the later exchanges were, tho.. did you do that deliberately to see if he would up the crazy quotient?).
