There are people starving in this world and I'm gonna go ahead keep my famous page that gets loads of hits just to prove that I don't have to sell it or put ads on it. Fuck you, by us!

Uhh... so don't even try going to oogle.com It just takes over your browser and makes it impossible to close without killing the PID.
In Chrome, I clicked the "Prevent page from creating additional pop-ups." checkbox, and then closed the page normally. What browser are you using that doesn't have such an option?

Smells like phishing to me :) An email trying to pass as a normal workplace email.
In most of the world, account numbers aren't at all sensitive, so I'm not sure what would be gained.
Typically inside a company (like a bank) there's an email client with a preconfigured contacts list linked to an AD server, the email client will write the email address for you.
So the probability of someone mistyping an email address inside the same company is, I'd say, low. Even lower if it's a recuring contact between two persons who know each others.
That's what's smelling here. You don't mispell an email address when you're replying or sending a message to someone you have an ongoing conversation with.
And if you receive that kind of email from outside the company... Well. That's phishing.
Reminds me of http://www.nissan.com . I get why it's appealing on a "little guy against big nameless corporation" level, but honestly, it's like an annoying kid who wants attention. It's not like gail.com or nissan.com are providing any content that 99.999999999% would find remotely interesting or useful, I imagine most are just annoyed to accidentally stumble on some barely-coherent anti-capitalist rambling.

My domain doesn't have any content most people would find remotely interesting or useful. If a large corporation names a product similarly to my domain, should I feel pressured into changing?

> What we have here is literally a blank page, that offers no value to the reader. Perhaps if they showed something worthwhile I could understand. Domain names aren't just there to resolve IPs for the web. You can have any online service resolve to it. More specifically people often buy domain names just for personalised email. It's also worth noting that your point is directly refuted by the very first QA on her FAQ…
Yes agreed, I didn't think about email aspect
I can understand the desire to not cave to "the man" and keep your domain, but why not just sell it for $ludicrous_sum and register another domain?
