the AIM Block

So, my boyfriend who is currently far far away...in distant Florida claims not to have any idea how to block someone on AIM--yet mysteriously he's managed to block me on AIM. Unless the AIM gods are scorning me for some unknown crime against AOL the whole thing seems highly suspect to me.

So, in an effort to be the technologically advanced woman in his life, I go ahead and create a new screen name. Of course within the first fifteen minutes of combative banter the man makes the mistake of typing, "So, how do I block you?"

Why? Why oh why are men at every age entirely clueless about what NOT to say to a woman? Double sigh.
