I know exactly what LinkedIn is mate.
I don't really bother with it. If I wanted to post my CV to the whole world and have more junk emails/messages/phone-calls from head-hunters and various other unscrupulous scumbags I've never met and wouldn't cross the road to piss on if they were on fire, I would probably take it more seriously.
Is there a vibrant employment market for David Gold obsessed bog-cleaners out there in the webosphere?

Maybe you should understand what LinkedIn is all about before making stupid comments like that.
Facebook is for friends so you wouldn't accept randoms, LinkedIn is supposed to enable to widen your professional network so you could get job offers off people you don't know. So the complete opposite to what you think it is.
Most people don't know the people they end up working for/with before they start a new job.

It's inappropriate.
It's purpose is professional, rather than personal.
In this case, the woman sounds like an uptight, precious bitch and the bloke sounds like a creepy weird fuck. Both as bad as each other. His comments about his daughter are a bit worrying.

According to the Mail, a former colleague of Mr Carter-Silk jumped to defend him on the legal website Roll on Friday, saying: "he is not a sexist pig. He just doesn't have a filter on his mouth."
What's his WHO name?

She's a fucking cunt who writes articles for the Independent and Guardian and is trying to raise her media profile.
This was manna from heaven for her.

I use linkedin for job stuff, I accept 2 types of requests, from colleagues I actually know and then from stunning female recruiters. recruiters who are blokes or munters can fuck off. but then I'm nearly as old as Mr silk bollocks.

Some professional bird sent a request for contact with me last week. I did exactly what this fella did and complimented her on her looks. She's in the kitchen making my breakfast as I type.

I wasn't deliberately swanking, mate. I'm just pointing out that even a miserable, anti-social cunt like me with not very many 1st hand links soon gets to be connected to what seems like half the world.

Its a business website.
People contact people for business reasons or contacts and job prospects.
I think in the modern world most men would realise you don't make any personal comments or show any personality at all to women you don't know. Certainly not in writing. Wake up and smell the virtual coffee, GRANDAD.

You can choose to accept or deny a request and I would imagine if you have that many contacts already, then LinkedIn is probably superfluous to you

I don't see the point. So it's a saying yes to every stranger competition, then?
I have about 57 million, zillion, gazillion contacts without resorting to whoring my links out to strangers, why would anyone want another billion links to people they don't know and who are thus unable to further their career in any way. Would you give somebody a job on the basis of how many are in their LinkedIn network?

I think LinkedIn is designed to attract messages from complete strangers as a means of expanding your professional network?

Surely if you get a Linked in request from a total stranger you ignore it and surely you don't send Linked in requests to total strangers.
I'm not sure what being married has go to do with it.
Nobody is disputing the bloke is a bit of a twat - what is at issue is the woman's horrible over-reaction and the fact that she has more than likely set him up. It would be interesting to see how many other requests she sent to middle-aged men she didn't know.

Surface I've had LinkedIn requests from total strangers including women. I have never then sent them a "your photo looks stunning" message because it's in a work related online context. Plus I'm married but I wouldn't it even if I were single because it would be unprofessional to do so. The woman may well have liked the publicity but the bloke was still a twat.
