DID I ASK TO BE ON YOUR PING LIST?

Apologies for the vanity post. But I want to rant a bit.
In the past few months, ping lists have proliferated to the point of annoyance. And it is especially irksome to find oneself on a list without having requested inclusion.
There's a word for this: 
.
Ponder this question, Chester: Did I ask to be on your #%&@ing ping list? No? Well, then. Draw the logical conclusion. If I wish to be on your ping list, rest assured you'll be the first to know. But while you wait with bated breath for my entreaty to be a party to your wisdom, I'll thank you not to make the assumption that I consider your blog indispensable.
Personally, I'd like to see pinging stopped entirely, via the placing of a limit on the number of people a post may be directed to -- preferably one, but no more than five, in my opinion. But failing that, it should at least be the case that unsolicited spam has no place on Free Republic.

Why should the pingee be responsible for being taken off of lists they don't want to be on in the first place? I'd say the pinger should initiate the contact rather than just putting my name on the list and when I ask in the open forum to be removed, they get all pissy about it.My opinion is you have grounds to sue the pinger for creating your post ping traumatic stress disorder.

Spam? I didn't ever spam!
Ok, I've spammed. I want to apologize to anyone that was offended by my spamming. It was insensitive and I should've known better.
I'm not proud of it.
But I didn't know I was spamming at the time.
It was innocent.
Alright, I've always been a spammer and I've hung out with spammers..heck, some of my best friends are professional spammers.
In fact, I want to help stamp spamming from the planet. Shoot, we're all spammers.
If this doesn't blow over by tomorrow, I'll have a more complete statement and apology.
If that doesn't work, I'm still not leaving.
Ok, I'll leave.

OK, thanks for letting me know. You've been removed.

Okay. I've taken the liberty of putting you on my "I don't want to be on your ping list" ping list... But I WANT to be on your ping list. I wish I was sensible enough to have a ping list...I try to remember everyone I know on the boards name and then ping them, and then leave out the person I meant to ping in the first place. Jaysis...It's tough being Irish and blonde!!!
To: JLO
Thanks for your note JLO. The vast majority of people love the Foxhole and appreciate being notified about it. One person's Spam is another's filet mignon, I suppose.

Every time I ping a list I give them the option to let me know if they want on or off it.
There's a way to do it that is polite not rude.

Maybe because I haven't personally been overpinged, I'm on the pro-ping side, with the caveat that the pingee has the right to be depinged and the pinger should graciously oblige. Accommodation for all in this land of the free!
