Yes, I did play with wooden swords

The other day I shared a story about a new LinkedIn connection relentlessly pitching me so hard that I had to remove her as a connection.

“Lisa” was only the second person I had to remove in my 20 years on LinkedIn.

The first person I removed was my first death threat on LinkedIn.

I know I’m sounding a bit dramatic.

Here’s the entire story, so you can judge for yourself.

Yes, I was born before the internet existed.

Yes, I did play with wooden swords.

We even used sticks as guns when we played “Army”.

We only had three channels on our television and I had to walk across the room to change the channel.

I started working with the internet in 1991, right after Al Gore invented it.

I was building HTML websites BEFORE this guy was born.

I learned SEO when it consisted of stuffing keywords into your META Keyword tag and waiting months for Google to crawl your website.

I would love to know what this guy is doing five years after threatening me.

Is he still doing Amazon SEO?

I don’t remember his name, and our conversation is gone from LinkedIn since I removed him…
