NOTICE TO ALL #OPENCLAW USERS:

If your openclaw instance emails me from your account for ANY reason, I *will* report you to Gmail for phishing and then block the fuck out of you. You are dead to me. If I knew where you lived I would visit, set your house on fire, then piss on you when you ran out screaming. Your shitty agentic AI is not welcome in my inbox. Fuck right off, and when you get there, keep on fucking off some more.

(I do not need this shit before my morning caffeine.)
