Q: Is this made to harass/persecute people? A: No, it is just a joke. If the person target by the joke just ask us to stop, we will stop immediately, no questions asked. Ah, too bad. There are are several people I would sign up to get this (and I'm only slightly kidding).

  Do you think that we should take the risk of being sued for harassement? maybe we can say that we do that just for one month, once a week, then we stop.
  - dpapathanasiou 16y ago
    No, of course not. I was just being facetious. If you allowed real insults, it could get out of hand quickly.
    - bustamove 16y ago
      well we won't use real insults ever, just insults related to how much you are a jerk, not heavy insults.do you think this matters ?

        It's a slippery slope. Even with that disclaimer in your FAQ, things could get ugly for you. IIRC, the "awesome" guy said that around 7% of the people they call get upset with hearing they're awesome. I imagine your numbers, from recipients who don't get the joke or are caught in a bad mood, would be higher. FWIW, I would never offer a service like this, not only b/c of the potential liability issues, but also for all the bad karma you could stir up.

Don't you guys think you should credit Zachary and put up a link to awesomenessreminders.com as a source of your inspiration? To say that you are not affiliated on a non-clickable bit of text after ripping off half their homepage is a little low.

  You are right. I am putting a link right now.

    FYI, that link currently seems to be broken. There's an extra %22 at the end of the url, like this: http://awesomenessreminders.com%22 http://awesomenessreminders.com%22 instead of this: http://awesomenessreminders.com/ http://awesomenessreminders.com/
