One of the unintended consequences of writing regularly on a public web site is all the "fan mail" you accumulate.
This just arrived a few moments ago:
I can FU-- with the best of them, but a public forum isn't the place for it. I accidentally stumbled on your so called web site, and find it to be very sophomoric! The little shit with the big mouth MUST BE HEARD I guess. I grew up during the Depression in South Buffalo, and we had people like you for lunch!

I really have no idea how to respond to that.
Do I invite him over for lunch?

That's a great idea. Invite him out to lunch. At the least you can talk to this person and see if they are misguided or just nuts.
Although, I would tape it. That way if they are nuts you have one hell of an mp3 to share with us.
If you have a hard time responding to emails... don't waste time spending a lunch hour with this doofus.
Keep doing what you're doing. It seems to be working!
If this guy really grew up in the depression, I highly doubt that he can FU-- with the best of them. Maybe this guy is a vi@gr@ spammer and wants you to believe that his stuff really works. Now that would be an interesting lunch conversation.
Sometimes they make it so easy to recognize them for what they are.

Do you have any idea what set this guy off? Or is he just objecting to you in general?
Beats me. That's the whole messge. He provided no context at all.
That's what makes it most amusing, I think.
You haven't received enough fan mail yet. Not worth wasting time on even if it is amusing. :)
If s/he grew up during the Depression in South Buffalo, s/he must be at least 75. Going senile, perhaps?
Invite him to brunch, that way you get the jump on him before he can eat you for lunch.
God, you're oblivious.
He says you're a "little man" with a "big mouth". He wants to "FU", but in private. Skip the lunch and just go right to bed with him!
Hey, I'm jealous! No one offers to have me for lunch, and, not that i'd take them up, offers to perform lewd acts either. :)
He must have seen your post about how to give oral sex to bloggers. He did say something about eating you. Recommend you pass on lunch.
I just added Smartest Guys and War Within to my Netflix queue! I can't wait! But I too am surprised that Mr. Direct-to-Consumer is suggesting Amazon instead of some downloadable method... ~M
This is why I don't delete flames in my blog comments.
They're so amusingly stupid.
