Hoax response gets a strange backlash

Tweet

If you're on Facebook, you've no doubt heard about the Jayden Smith hoax. Don't accept a friend request from him, your computer will be hacked, your money will all go to Nigeria, your nose will fall off, etc. Please send this message to all 3 billion people on Facebook in the next 10 seconds or we are all doomed. Or words to that effect. We all have our own way of handling getting requests like this. I've seen people post on their timelines not to forward it, people get pissy with people about it, etc. I prefer to handle it by sending the person a private message letting them know it's a hoax. It's polite, it's private and they can then choose to handle it however they choose. I've gotten four the last two days, and I've handled all of them the same. The first three said "thank you" or "thumbs up" or "oh, I didn't know". The fourth person got pissy with me. Here is what she said: "Hoax or no I felt guided to send it read what I wrote about it on my timeline. Always be careful who u friend on FB and if this bothers you feel free to unfriend me" So I replied that it didn't bother me at all. I was just letting her know. So she got pissier with me: "The proper thing to do is say thank you for the heads up...apparently u did not read my post about why I sent it...u know Dawn hacking is a problem here on FB...again Hoax or No I felt guided to help" So I said I was sorry but I hadn't seen what she posted on her timeline about why she sent it, and then I went over there to see what it was. I didn't see anything, and assumed she had deleted the post. Well no. She had deleted ME... Good riddance to pissy people, I guess. To each their own. I should have thanked her for forwarding a known hoax to me rather than telling her it was a hoax. How do you handle chains and hoaxes that get forwarded? Or stupid people for that matter?
