Now, in one of my 3:30 AM strokes of genius, I had the questionably brilliant idea of sending some Finntroll lyrics to about 30 random people, courtesy of my phone and random button pressing.
I had thought rather nothing of it until later in the day, when upon reading a questionably obtained bulletin, posted A La MySpace, I found that one of the people had somehow gotten the idea off of this that I was a creeper.
While I won't go through great lengths to disprove such theory, I do however offer the following open letter, in hopes that it indeed sheds some light on the horrendous thought crime committed under such circumstances.
While it is indeed possible to sympathize with your possible distaste for the harmonic classics of Finntroll propaganda, along with possible inconveniences created with the use of an untimely hour to deliver simple unnerving prose to a vast group of determinately unenlightened people, the way you seemingly "handled" the situation does create a general sense of unease.
We here at the very bottom; the "creepers" so to speak (in use of a term created entirely by people very much like you) take pride in the fact we have managed to claw our way to the very depths of the conventional social caste, much deeper down in the eyes of the superficial than any natural actions, appearances of unconventional lifestyles could possibly afford. We do take a certain pride in knowing that we keep the social caste in order by creating a public enemy, creating common ground on the basis of distaste, and even allowing for many a discouraged person to take solace in the knowing that they will never be as spited as certain figures. In addition to these benefits often taken for granted, such opportunities also allow for a small rise in self-esteem in the thinking of some people, who seem to think that as opposed to simply acting out of joy for causing mental turmoil and unrest, manage to disillusion themselves into thinking that such person has some form of one sided connection to them, and thus creating a circumstance much like the ones listed above.
With the sacrifice necessary to selflessly serve one's community, I feel I speak for all of us so-called "Creepers" when I say that it is indeed a discouragement to receive no gratification for one's work. A spiteful return, or possibly an attempt at rebuttal are indeed reward for one's efforts, and the intellectual chain the often follows can be considered a near necessary sacrifice for ensuring that the social caste always has someone to hate.
Therefore, it is rather unfair, cruel even, to deprive someone of an outcome. While this act on it's own is indeed rather demoralizing to all parties involved, it seems even more unjust to refer to someone by an assigned name, particularly: "Creeper". The irony that all this occurred on a mainstream social network, the social and intellectual cesspools of first-world society, continues this point. Perhaps augmenting this is the use of near Orwellian "Newspeak"; present in the form of abbreviations and attempts to replace actual conversational emotion with the use of several curt key board strokes.
Although this letter provides nothing more than a short summary of circumstance that is widely unknown and ignored, along with an emotionless chastisement for certain seemingly harmless action, I do ask that it be held in at least some regard.
With thanks

PS: Please also make note that this entire letter contains less spelling and grammar errors than one of your average sentences.
