In the very early days (funny to think of the mid-90s as the very early days of enything), I found my way to common-interest bulletin boards, one of which was an astrology forum.
Innocently posting away about horoscopes, I was astonished one day to get an email from an apparently fundamentalist Christian lurker. YOU ARE A IDOT, the note read, and went on to tell me about how I was going to go to hell, etc., for my satanic beliefs, etc., all in similarly literary style, all in caps.
It didn't stop me posting about whatever I damn well pleased, but ever since then, if I'm particularly annoyed with myself, I mutter that I am a idot.
