Catfished by Agora copywriter?

Below is the second of three emails from a self-described successful & well-connected Agora copywriter after I said I was not interested in his offer to publish my email books in Portuguese down in Brazil. It'd take probably 5+ pages to reprint all the emails. So I'll just show you this one, which was his response when I told him I had zero interest in whatever horse shyt he was doing. It’s a magnificent example of how NOT to do cold emails when you get a No. === OK, I'm willing to go to work for this. I believe it could make a difference because I have a sense of how you are. You want zero bullshitters in your life. I can assure you I'm not one. I hope you checked to make sure I'm the real deal? Do you believe in the work of Mark and John and Bill. Are you open to knowing whom else I'm going to publish? Darnit. I really did not expect this response, but if you're firm it's OK. I'm just disappointed in you. === First strike: His first email to me (again, too long to reprint, but you should get the gist of it, i.e., pitching me on having my products sold and translated in another country) out of the blue was a wall of text email all about him, name dropping, etc. The tone was I should read it because he wrote it. I’m not even sure Jon Buchan’s cold email templates (on sale for a little bit longer today, see below) would have helped him at that point. Second strike: A follow up email (just before the one above) after I said I was not interested asking me why, and whining about how he spent “a lot of time” writing the first email. Literally nobody cares how long you spend writing them a cold email. Especially if the recipient is not even interested in the offer in the first place. Something even a raw, wriggling noob copywriter would know. Third strike: The email above with the lame manipulative nonsense about being disappointed. Plus more pointless name dropping, of course. Fourth strike: Sending me yet another email he sent right after the above I didn’t even bother to skim much less read, nor will bother reprinting here. The lesson: Neediness is as repulsive as the smell of catfish bait. And his cold emails reeked of the stuff. Whatever the case, guy ain’t representing Agora copywriters very well.
