Your advances toward me are creepy and uninvited.

Yes, they are. Just as "the_conscience" uses the familiar diminutive of my first name, as though we were friends, when we are both aware that is hardly the case. Creepy is the word.

[Petronski]

Perhaps he was inviting you to use a diminutive version of his screenname as well. Perhaps “the_con” is suitably ironic.

Awww, what is it with you two? You wouldn’t recognize a real advance if it hit you in the face. Frustrated a lot????
