OKCupid has this useless feature called "icebreakers," where it anonymously matches you with someone who shares a similar interest (based on their profile contents). As a result, I get a lot of inane messages about "hey you liked fight club? I liked fight club!" As if that was any reason for me to talk to you. They're mostly harmless, and easy enough to delete.
But this one...THIS one...

You have 1 new icebreaker!

You rat bastard. Don't you dare speak about my idol like that. My devotion to that man borders on religious, and I will lay a holy CRUSADE on those who blaspheme him, don't think I won't.
You, meanwhile, describe yourself as "I am reflectIve, quIxotIc, and InquIsItIve." So I suggest you delete your entire profile and beg forgiveness from every one of those authors on that very long list you claim to like.
(For added irony, I am in the middle of editing an essay I wrote a few years ago about Oscar Wilde and the Art of the University.)
