MORON Thread, Part 4

********** From here on out, to make it easier to figure out the conversation a bit better, the moron is in green, and my responses are tan.****************

Thursday, January 31, 2008

Ask, and ye shall receive. Kinda.

Several people have asked me to forward the emails that I've received from the dude who pissed me off, mainly because it's just plain funny to read some of his rantings. I got them all organized into several emails including all the headers, but it's still just a LOT to try to send out and for them to try to read. So, I'm just clipping the headers and posting them all here, color coded between his nonsense (green) and my replies (gray). If you're not interested in reading them, please leave the blog area now.

A little background first, it will help when trying to read the email snips:
Last year, when "haunt master" decided to post DeadSpider's "Hemlock Dench" as HIS creation on The Halloween Nation Forums, I joined up there and set them straight on WHO it was that actually made the cemetery groundskeeper at DeadSPider's request. He edited his post.

http://forums.halloweennation.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3991


From there, I already had a bullseye on him, watching for any more new posts of stuff he's "stolen" I didn't keep a very good eye on him, and I didn't read any older posts by him. One day, I noticed he posted this:

http://forums.halloweennation.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4213

You can see my posts thereafter on that subject. That's when I decided to look into his other posts, and started finding all sorts of lies when I noticed the member names on the Photobucket accounts he was posting pictures from.

The whole war basically started here when I called him out on this forum in these threads:

http://forums.halloweennation.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3399

http://forums.halloweennation.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3410

http://forums.halloweennation.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4077

This one is particularly funny now that the real owner of the picture was made aware of what "hauntmaster" was doing. It's all over several boards now.

http://forums.halloweennation.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3366

The next morning, I received these two e-cards from Caverns of Blood:

Subject: eCard from HalloweenCom!
HalloweenCom has sent you an eCard!
You can pick it up at the following address:

************************************************

So, as you may have seen on the NalloweenNation forum, I told him I won't argue on the forum, and posted my email address for him to contact me with anything he might want to say. I then received an email, and the rest are all emails that went back and forth between us over the couple of days that he wanted to keep it up:

Subject: Your message from Halloween Nation.

Ok, Ghostess,

You gave me your email address out to me, so I m sending you this
message to discuss about the problem. Ok, honesty, I didn t threaten you
or caused flaming like that. I believe some one did to you. I got few
emails from other haunters talked out to me about you, your user name,
and also, other people like you. I told them that it was ok for them to
watch all over me and our Halloween.com board, just let them go. They
kept tattling on you and other members that got away from Halloween.com
board. Again, I told them not to mind them, leave them alone.

Now, if you have any problems with me or anyone else, talk to me.

Subject: Re: Your message from Halloween Nation.

What I have a problem with Chris, is your posting of pictures all over the boards and claiming they are yours. That is plagiarism at the worst, and just plain LYING at the least. You take the credit for these props and displays, and you are not the one who MADE them. You do this on a regular basis, which leads me to think you either cannot help it or you just plain do not care.

I have already contacted the admins of the Halloween.com board and the Afterlife forums and sent them the links to the ecards you sent me via the Caverns of Blood site as well as contacted the owner of the Caverns so that he can further investigate. IP addresses are wonderful things when they are logged. I will also be contacting the Internet Terrorism Unit of the FBI since you decided to make threats to my personal safety and to my life.

Please remember that I am not the only one who is watching you. Like I said, the haunting and Halloween community is very extensive and VERY close knit and we watch out for each other. I have heard from other people that you have threatened them as well when you were called out on your fraudulent posting. You can either STOP and fade silently into the back ground... or you can keep up the charade and bring on your threats and profane language. One way or the other, this will stop.

And by the way, The Halloween.com members that left because of you have nothing to do with this. You are the one who started it, you are the one who got busted, and YOU are the one who keeps it going with your lies.

Have a nice day.

Ghostess Deanna

Subject: Re: Your message from Halloween Nation.

Ok, I do understand. And, I will step back silently. I will not come
back to post any more threads anywhere while you are there on any
forums. Thats all right with you?

Subject: Re: Your message from Halloween Nation.

I do not care if you post. I do care if you post pictures that are NOT YOURS. When you post pictures that are NOT YOURS, you should be notating WHO they belong to, or WHAT SITE you found them on and post a link to that person or site or give some information on WHO they pictures belong to.

LYING is wrong. Taking credit and praise for other people's work is WRONG.

I will continue to correct every single post that I find that you have made with other people's pictures. Those people DESERVE to be represented correctly. You can either apologize on those threads when I do it and make yourself look better, or you can continue to attack me. I am not the one who is wrong, you are and we all know it.

THREATENING people is WRONG. You are the one at fault, Chris. Your reputation is growing and not in a good way. I have had a lot of communications lately about you with other people. We all have screen captures and other proof of your threats. Do not threaten me again. DO not deny that it was you, because we ALL know it was you.

I am one of the nicest people that you would ever meet in this community. I have NEVER had a problem with anyone in the Halloween/Haunting community, and normally, I would NEVER confront someone in a public way; however, when I see all that you have done over the past few years and all that you continue to do, I had enough. You have been called out. I am not stupid. I will not sit still and watch you steal pictures any longer. I will not sit still and read your threats. The next move is yours. Move wisely.

Have a nice day.

Ghostess Deanna

Subject: Re: Your message from Halloween Nation.

Ok, I do understand. Not only I did steal their pics, but I asked their
permission and they gave me consent. And also, I shouldnt say they re my
pics. I think I can go ahead and delete some pics from any posts if that
is cool with you. And I didnt even mean to threat some people because
they made me nervous. Sorry about that.


By the way, I will not continue to argue with you, and I will not cause
any more problems between me and you, ok? Why not let everything go, and
be cool ourselves? Can you work out with me please? I hope we will solve
our problems this time.

Subject: Re: Your message from Halloween Nation.

Don't you mean that you did NOT ask their permission? I have contacted most of the people whose pictures you posted. NONE of them knew that you did that, and NONE of them were happy about it.

I will not let this go. You can delete and edit all you want, but I have screen captures of everything, so it doesn't change the fact that you lied. The only way this will ever be resolved is if you OWN UP to what you did and apologize publicly for it on ALL of the forums that you have lied on and DO NOT make the mistake of posting in that manner again.

Again, the ball is in your court, and I am watching.

Ghostess Deanna

Subject: Re: Your message from Halloween Nation.

Ok, I do understand. Again, I will not go ahead and post any more pics
that are mine, or say anything like they re my own pic or equipment. I
will not do this again, alright?

So I will go on and make appropriate posts from now and on... I will not
ask anyone to allow me copy and paste their photos anymore at all,
unless I have to post their names along with pics that they are credited
for... Does it sound good to you?


l didn't reply to his last post with that subject line again. So, a little while after the first round of emails, he starts another round.

Subject: Just a question

Hi Ghostess,

I am not here to bother you, but just asking you a question.

For instance, if you see any of my posts along with photos, and you
always run over my post and reply to my post to claim that all photos
are not mine, correct?

And also, if you see any threads that was made by me without photos, you
will not care and will not reply, right? Just curious. Because I dont
know what kind of person you are, and I dont know about your ways, you
understand? So, are you always familiar with other haunt boards, and the
haunt members as well?

Chris

Subject: Re: Just a question

Chris,

I only said that a few were NOT yours. Most of them I will only state who the pictures actually belong to, unless you specifically said it was YOURS.

If you aren't posting pictures or claiming things that are not true, I will not bother with you. I am an honorable person, and I am only out to set the record straight.

By the way, why are you telling everyone you live in VA? It shows me here that you're in Kansas or close to that.

Ghostess Deanna

I should have skipped the last sentence. It kinda made him seem nervous though in later emails... like he doesn't want me snooping around on him. And I forgot to add part in that email, so I sent another one right after:

Subject: Re: Just a question
And I am very familiar with the haunt boards and the members.

Ghostess Deanna

Subject: Re: Just a question

Actually, I m from VA. Not KS, or anywhere close to town. Where did you
see that Im from KS?

BTW, I do understand about the pics that you do know theyre mine or not
mine either. OK, let you know that I do travel out of states some of the
times, not always do I travel far away. I hope for your understanding.
Thank you.

Subject: Re: Just a question

The internet is an interesting thing.

Ghostess Deanna

So, then he sends two more emails, to which I did not respond.

Subject: Re: Just a question

Ok, thats very interesting you are familiar with all haunt boards. Me
too! Some of the haunt boards that Ive been banned because of minor
reasons like caused flaming, cussing at each others, and made small
threats against anyone. I know it was all my fault that I shouldn t have
done like this way because of my temper, you know? And also, I am sick
type person, you know, I m not feeling good... I m pretty sick because
of my blood disorder, and I have to take easy myself because of what my
doctor told me to do so.

And also, only a few haunt boards allowed me back in for the second
chance, and warned me not to do any more vulgar language or threats
please. So I won t have to do it anymore, and I have to play nice. For
other reasons, mostly haunt boards refused letting me back for good, I
mean forever! Well, it is all up to the owners of the boards. Even, not
only about my languages and threats, they were pretty upset because of
numerous of their pics that I posted to be mine.

******************************************

Subject: Re: Just a question

I see. Ok, well, From now and on, I will not ask anyone, their pics to
post it as myself, like my own ones, I mean, I should have to post their
pics with their credit names on it, so the way they will know its their
own pics, not mine. If I ever find a cool haunt pic which is NOT really
mine, and I should have to post and state that I found this on the
internet somewhere from the haunt board or via Google.

The entire time he was scrambling and sending emails, I was searching all his posts across the internet and diggin up info on him.

So, apparently the forum owner of Halloween Nation, Vlad, either saw what was going on, or "hauntmaster" PMed him about me. In any case, Vlad sent "hauntmaster" a PM, so "hauntmaster" decided to use that and emailed me:

Subject: A message from Vlad

Hi,

Vlad has sent me a message about the arguement between me and you needed
to be over. We have to be friend, and play nice, right?

He also told me he doesnt care whose pics I posted there on the board,
so he wanted us to stop arguing please. Can we work something out? I
hope we can be cool off .

Subject: Re: A message from Vlad

That's interesting. He sent me a message too and that's not what he said to me. PMs are private, and I will not discuss mine with you. And for the record, I am not arguing with you ON the forum. That is EXACTLY why I posted my email address for you to email me.

Ghostess Deanna

Incidentally, this is what transpired between me and Vlad via PM:

I would like to show you what I received from "HauntMaster" via the Caverns Of Blood site after I called him on his fraudulent posts:

On this one, he tried to throw me off using the owner of Halloween.com's name:
http://www.cavernsofblood.com/cards...rdid=1200890232

And this one is just plain stupid:
http://www.cavernsofblood.com/cards...rdid=1200890599

I've been studying him quite a bit, I know his style of writing, and I can assure you that those are from him. I also know that every time someone calls him on something, he does this exact thing.

I just wanted you to be aware of what he does offlist.

Thank you,

Deanna

Hi Deanna,

The links just brought up the cob website, but I can imagine.

Hopefully it wasn't so horrible where he needs banned.

Thank god for members like you who help add great content and offset crap that others will put out there.

If he gets to be too much of a pain I think there's an "ignore member" button around here somewhere.

-Chris

********************************************************
And this is his second message to me, including "hauntmaster's" message to Vlad:

...I think he's some kid/teen that got busted, not some adult psycho who'll hunt you down

Here's what I sent him and his reply.

Thanks,

-Chris

I don't know if the images you post claiming to be you/yours are or not.

I don't care really either.

BUT if they're not and someone calls you on it, you should stand up and say so, or just quit doing it.

Please don't get into arguments on my forum though.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, I do understand. I will not argue with a member named Ghostess. I have to close this arguement between me and her. I already emailed her today, and we are still working out. I try to be friend with her. Thank you for letting me know.

************************************************
More emails:


Subject: Re: A message from Vlad

Ok, I see. So, why not we get along do well? Let s be friends, at least.

Subject: Re: A message from Vlad

I prefer to remain acquaintances, thank you.

Ghostess Deanna

Subject: Re: A message from Vlad

Acquaintances? What do you want to know? Are you trying to say that we
need to get know each other?

Subject: Re: A message from Vlad

Acquaintances - you know, people who know who the other person is, but don't KNOW them personally and are not friends.

I'd prefer to not get to know you. I know enough already.

Ghostess Deanna

Subject: Re: A message from Vlad

Ok, I do understand. If you do not wish to get know about me, then that
is fine.

Well, I do like some pics of yours that you made for last Halloween. You
created most of the awesome props! Good work, Ghostess!

Anyway, I wish to make the one you did good job for the graveyard, I
think cemetery yard of your house. I love it!

He's got to be KIDDING me! Like compliments will dissuade me from my quest! Ha! I'm just waiting to see when my pictures will start floating around.
So, he can't get enough of me and is trying to draw me out, I guess trying to make me slip up and say something I shouldn't. *yawn* He's boring me.

Subject: Curious

Are you still looking over my posts or not?? Why can t you stop doing
this like that?? Looks like you are not my friend... I know you do not
wish to be a friend of me, right?

When are we going to end all over the discussions in any haunt boards? I
mean, the game is over!!!

But, understand that I am trying to be friendly with you, but I think
you can t or won t?

Subject: Re: Curious

I won't lie to you. Yes, I am still watching you, still going over your posts and correcting your lies. I will continue to do it on every single forum that you're on. I do not want to be your friend.

The game? I didn't realize I was playing a game. You are the one who makes sport of telling lies and spamming forums. I thought it quite odd that YOU were the one who was telling everyone about "Ghostman" on the Halloween.com forum, when in fact, YOU ARE GHOSTMAN. What I can't believe, and find really very sad, is that they actually believed you. You are a pathological liar who likes to play games on forums and mess with people's minds. The more I read, the more I pity you.

Chris, you can either come clean on the sites that you're on when I post about your mistakes. Or you can continue to post lies and email me trying to get me to be your friend and stop what I'm doing. Either way, you're going to lose the "game" you're playing.

And by the way, that "cop" you threatened, is a friend of mine.

Ghostess Deanna

***(MY mention of the "cop" is a reference to another of "hauntmaster's" mortal enemies, Scream Haunt (owner of the HauntSpace and HalloweenTrade sites, see the KicktheFog.com forums for a synopsis of their battles, under the "Ghostman" titled threads.)

Subject: Re: Curious

So, when are you going to stop watch over me and my post? Also, when are
you going to leave me alone since you didnt want to be a friend?

And also, did you happen to support other haunters to watch out on me,
or anything like that? Yes, I got some information that someone is
watchin all over me, no matter what or when. I m getting sick of people
who do that to me.

Subject: Re: Curious

Chris,

The REASON people are watching you is YOUR fault. YOU are the one who is CONSTANTLY telling lies, misrepresenting yourself, spamming forums, stealing internet pictures, threatening people with violence and/or death, and getting banned from almost every place you join.

I told you already we haunters, the REAL haunters who actually HAVE haunts and actually MAKE our own props and DISPLAY our props and don't run around LYING about it are a VERY tight community. We are EVERYWHERE watching you.

YOU threatened me. When you did that, you opened up this can of worms. YOU are the one who started my campaign to expose you for the fraud that you are. To quote you from your thread about FangsofBlood with the poll on whether to let YOURSELF back on the forum with that name, "You can run, but you can't hide."

Have a nice day. I know I will.

Ghostess Deanna

Subject: Re: Curious

Yes, I know that. They re still watching me, but if I join any newest
haunt boards with good different user name, and they will not think they
are dumb enough, can you tell me how??? I don t understand.

BTW, I believe someone once told me that the owner, Overlord from
Halloween L forum had refused to give me a chance to come back on his
forum again, so if I decide to re register his board again, and he will
seek legal action against me so I had to stay away.

Subject: Re: Curious

Why on earth would I tell you how we always know it's you?

Chris, you might THINK I am just a dumb little blonde woman, but you are very much mistaken. You will not be able to "play" me like you have other people.

When hell freezes over, I might just find something else to do other than watch your every move on the forums.

And by the way, is your mention of coming to FLorida your idea of a threat? You don't scare me one bit.

Ghostess Deanna

*** He made a little comment on the Halloween.com forum in the "weather" thread that I took as a veiled threat:
http://www.halloween.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2404&p=27474p27474

Then he got off topic for a bit with another subject line:

Subject: Got a question 4 you!

Just curious... you ve been online just like all day, night... do you
have a job? Are you staying at home mom?

BTW, you ve known me everywhere on the haunt boards... maybe it was ALL
my fault that I sent you the names of all haunt boards when you were a
member of my topsites, correct?

Subject: Re: Got a question 4 you!

What difference does it make? I could be at work right now. The internet is everywhere these days. Everyone I know is on the internet practically all day long. Maybe I have a job where I watch people all day. You just never know about people online, who they really are, what they really do.

And your pathetic little list did not tell me where you were. Anyone with a brain and fingers can use Google, Chris. Besides, I join forums to share my love of Halloween and Horror, my projects and my knowledge, not to spam them with an affiliate program garbage and inappropriate posts.

Ghostess Deanna

****** As a small offhand note... I know many people who surf forums all day when they are at work. I think a lot of people these days that work on computers can do that kind of thing. When I worked for the local hockey team, that's pretty much all we did all day in the office. I think he's trying to draw out info on me. What a goon.

Now he's back to the other thread from before:

Subject: Re: Curious

No, I don t come to FL to threat you, no way... I was only kidding to
scare you, that s it. Same thing, I did threat some body else too... I
really didnt mean to go hit or kill them, I mean, I really wanted to see
how scary they are, or to see how tough they are. Well, mostly people
arent scared of me, hee hee....

Subject: Re: Curious

I will tell you again, Chris, I do not like to be threatened. You caused Larry to shut down the Caverns of Blood e-cards site with your inappropriate use of it. You made it so that I am looking into the legal ramifications of your threats. It is illegal, Chris, to make threats via the internet. Did you think you would really get away with it?

Do not threaten me again, do not kid around with threatening me. DO not make veiled threats. You do not scare me, and you only make it worse for yourself.

Ghostess Deanna

Subject: Re: Curious

I am not going to threat you again, and I will not go to send you any
abusive language because this time, I am going to leave you along. I
will not kid around with anything.

i let you have a wonderful, and big nice day with other haunt boards.
Have fun and take care of yourself! ;)

That's it for that day. More about the next day in the next batch of emails. He didn't keep to his stupid word about leaving me "along"...lol
I called him out on more boards. He must have been upset. boo hoo.

Subject: Check with you!

Hey Ghostess,

Why did you keep up with my posts all over haunt boards??? Why can't you
ignore me? Why can't you leave me and my posts alone? Can't you give
everything up yourself? You seemed you really want me to get kicked off
all of the haunt boards, or what? What did you have in your mind???

BTW, looks like you don't work at your own job because you've been
online all day and night, just like you are sitting at home do noithing,
right?

Subject: Re: Check with you!

Chris, you are indeed a sad little man. Do you not understand what I said before? I will continue to point out every single false post you have made until I find every single one of them. I told you already that you can either apologize PUBLICLY for them when I point them out ON THAT FORUM for everyone to see.... or you can continue your pathetic little charade. It's all up to you.

It is not MY fault that you seem to lack the intelligence to type your own posts without having to COPY and PASTE someone else's post and STEAL other people's pictures.

And you don't seem to realize that for some people, being on a computer all day long and sometimes all night long, IS THEIR JOB. Some people, like network security administrators, DO THEIR JOB on a computer. Some people have jobs that REQUIRE them to be on the computer. You have NO CLUE what I do all day and night these days, and it is driving you crazy. The LAST thing I do, is sit around all day doing nothing.

Nice job, by the way, of removing all those posts on the FearScene forum. I hope Millie found my PM to her entertaining.

Have a GREAT day, I know I will.

Ghostess Deanna

**** He is a freaking MOD at the fearscene forums. I posted about his posts, and he removed my posts, then I reposted again, several times, and he was frantically working to remove them as fast as I could post. He finally just removed his original post and the whole threads altogether. I believe he even somehow deleted my PM to Millie before she could read it.

Then he sent me message through an email service that I can't check the IP on, using a fake email and name. I replied to it straight to his cerlists@webtv.net address.

Subject: HauntMaster and You?

Whoa! You and Him always fight each other everywhere on the halloween
boards! Can't believe it what you've done with him! Keep up good job to
get rid of him!

He was last seen on other boards as well.

Please stop blaming on me!!!!! Please stop emailing me anymore, or else
I will file a report against you via IP service. I'm getting tired of
you, dumb blond bitch!!!!

And also, you posted in comment something against me from my topsites,
and I want it stopped!!!!! I don't want to hear from you anymore, I
don't want see you anywhere on all haunt boards if you post my
messages!!!! Fuck you!!!!

This is my last email to send you periodically!
Goodbye!!!!!!

Subject: Re: HauntMaster and You?

Is that a threat again, Chris? I am not the one who keeps sending emails and stupid messages pretending to be someone else. That would be YOU doing it. You have NOTHING to report about me. I am not the one using vulgar language and threats. I didn't post any comments in your top sites about YOU. I could care less about your topsites that you spam other forums with. I haven't used ANY profanity. I haven't used ANY threats. I haven't LIED about anything.

Once YOU stop sending me stupid crap pretending to be someone else, I will stop sending you replies about it. If ANYONE has a reason to REPORT someone, it's ME with a reason to report YOU.

YOU are the one who gets yourself kicked off of forums with your lies. It only takes one person to catch the lie, and you are exposed for the whole world to see. It's all YOUR fault, not mine.

People are sick of you. I'm not the only one, and you know it. We ALL want you to get off the forums. We ALL are sick of your lies.

And by the way, "periodically" means "sometimes". Learn how to use proper grammar if you're going to try to use big words.

Have a nice day.

You leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone.

If you can't leave me alone, I'll continue to bother you. Do you
understand?

Subject: Re: eCard from Maccio!

Let me explain something to you.

I'm not the one sending stupid crap under different aliases. I'm not the one who is cursing and pretending to be someone else. The only time YOU get anything from ME is when I reply to one of your stupid little ecards or messages. I don't even address YOU on the forums, I just say that the pictures are not YOURS. Anything posted after that is merely discussion between me and other forum members ABOUT your lies.

I'm not running around hiding behind another name. I'm not sending threats to you. I'm not LYING about anything. If you want to continue this game, please do. Otherwise, go and surf your deviant sex forums and leave me alone. Better yet, why don't you go do something constructive and take an English class.

Have a nice day.

Ghostess Deanna

Now, the next two were from yesterday and the day before,
I never replied to either of them.
I think it makes him even more angry when I don't engage him.
Kinda like a 4 year old.
I hadn't even been posting anything about him on the haunt boards since last week.

MORON Thread, Part 3

And more news from the moronic....
Current mood: amused
I got an email from my internet picture thief pal yesterday. I didn't respond, which I think makes him even angrier. I got another one this morning. Man, how stupid can one person be? The funny thing is, I haven't posted to any forums about him or PMed anyone about him since last week.

Internet threats and the idiots who make them... tsk tsk
Current mood: focused
This is actually kind of an extension of my last blog on January 10. Since then, I have called the internet picture thief OUT on several forums. He decided to threaten me. When he did that..... GAME ON.

For those that haven't heard about it, or haven't seen the threats:
An eCard from HalloweenCom (halloweencom@yahoo.com)

And the one with the poorly worded death threat:
An eCard from Freaken Jack (firebrainjack01@aol.com)

***** NOTE: The links from the above do not work as Larry removed them, but I have screen shots of the ecards:

http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h100/ghostessdeanna/Screen%20Captures/CoBthreat2_cropped.jpg*************

Some of you will recognize his horrible grammar, poor sentence structure and hideous spelling. I know even more will recognize his aliases:

hauntmaster
fangsoblood
grimreaper
hauntreaper
jolly_roger
jolly_rodger
bloodie man
hauntreaper
ghostman
halloweenmaster
horrormask(s)
horror rd
slimyjoe
wolffee
hollowman
skops
accipter
grimblade

NOBODY threatens me. EVER.

Since then, he has tried his very best to call me off, using more poorly structured emails with lots of repetitious wording, and has also tried to befriend me if you can imagine that. Of course, he also made a veiled threat on the halloween.com forum about visiting Florida soon... to which I replied in an email :

"And by the way, is your mention of coming to FLorida your idea of a threat?
You don't scare me one bit."

And he replied:

"No, I don t come to FL to threat you, no way... I was only kidding to scare you, that s it. Same thing, I did threat some body else too... I really didnt mean to go hit or kill them, I mean, I really wanted to see how scary they are, or to see how tough they are. Well, mostly people arent scared of me, hee hee...."

That's what I thought, you freakin' pansy-ass. I'm sick of this guy. SICK. He's since been wise enough to keep his threats to himself, but he is not very happy that I have corrected several of his posts. He's even unhappier that he's been banned again from a couple of his beloved forums.

He's deleted some of his posts containing stuff that I have posted the TRUTH on from the fearscene.com forums and has probably managed to delete the PM I sent to Millie (the admin) before she could see it. How does he do this and get away with it? She made him a moderator. Apparently, she doesn't know about him and his antics.

He goes to forums, and BEGS to be a moderator. Once he's in, if the admin is not wise to him, he uses his "power" to create new member accounts, then use them to create drama, then takes polls on whether to BAN the offending member, who just happens to be HIMSELF with another alias.

It's not my intention to cause drama and trouble on the forums. My only goal is to point out the truth when I see his lies. I'm not there to flame or to argue. Only to give the credit where it is due when he takes another haunter's picture and sometimes their entire post and posts it on a forum claiming it as his own. This guy has been doing this for YEARS. It's time for it to stop. I know it's a lesson in futility. Like I said though, NOBODY threatens me. NOBODY.

My dealings with the MORON, part 1

The following is copied from my own blog at Myspace. I'm moving those blogs over to my Rants and Ravings blog because it's easier to blog here and I'd prefer to have my pissy moments in one place. :) The Moron blogs will all have MORON in the subject field. I've had a LOT of people ask me about my dealings with this MORON, so I'm also updating from the past year as well. And now, without further ado... I give you: The MORON:

What pisses me off today, caution REALLY bad language
Current mood: disgusted
I'm on a lot of Halloween forums. I love them all, they each have something different to offer, with different people on them. But there is this ONE guy who totally fucking PISSES me off!

He CONSTANTLY posts pictures of props as HIS OWN, when they are props that OTHER people built. He takes the urls from the pictures on one forum, then posts them on another forum.. and he does this over many forums. He did it to my fellow female haunters, who is an AMAZING artist, and he got called on it. He's been banned from many forums for lying, posting fraudulently, then being extremely belligerent and even threatening at times when he's busted for it.

I'm sick of the dude. I'm sick of the fact that the admins for some of these boards don't even realize what the dude is doing. I can freaking LOOK at the URLs the guy is posting and tell you that it ain't his work. COME ON PEOPLE!! Wake up and pay fucking attention!!

Honestly, does the moron think that we are all fucking idiots?? He only seems to get away with it when he does it on forums that don't get much traffic save the half dozen regulars that post.

I had to vent. This guy is a friggin creep.

Moving on...

My son is moving out of my house. He's 14, and he's going to live with his dad. While I support this idea, it still tears a huge hole right out of my heart. I know he's only going to be living a few miles away, but I've always been the parent that is closest to him and this is absolutely killing me. I spent the entire afternoon and evening crying yesterday.

I'm pissed that all we ask him to do is HIS homework, and HIS one chore- putting out the recyclables every day. He thinks my husband is "riding him" by telling him to do these two things. Well, he wouldn't have to "ride him" about doing them if Brandon would just DO them, when we ask him to, instead of ignoring or hoping we'll forget. He's basically a good kid, and I just don't understand why he couldn't just do the simple things to keep himself out of trouble. I know he has grown to dislike his step-dad. He's a teenage boy whose dad doesn't live here and I knew eventually he'd start to resent that.

I certainly hope he doesn't think he's getting a "get out of jail free card" by moving. There are several factors in play regarding that now. His dad has a new girl friend, who practically lives with him now, and she doesn't have kids. His dad was always the more strict of the two of us as parents, and he's very concerned about Brandon's grades since he's in high school now. Brandon can't get away with leaving his airsoft BBs all over the floor like he does here. He can't leave messes in the kitchen like he does here, because mom won't be there to clean it up. I let him get away with a lot over the years, not because I was spoiling him, but because he's never given me a reason to stay on his case about stuff and because I wasn't working outside the house, so it didn't bother me to take care of everything for the kids.

Part of me hopes he'll HATE it over there and want to come back. The other part of me just wants him to be happy, to thrive as an adolescent and grow into a good man. It really just hurts at this point, even if it is for the best.

High-School type BS and jealousy

No, this isn't another HauntSpace rant. :) It's a work-related rant, pertaining to some of the people I have to spend 8 hours a night, 4 nights a week with.

High school for me was 20 years ago - seriously, our 20-year reunion was in July this past summer. I didn't like it then, and I don't like the same kind of asinine behavior coming from certain people now.

I don't make friends in person very easily. Acquaintances, yes... have tons of them, but friends? People I think I can count on and who listen to me when I need them? No, those are very few and far between for me. I don't have the big social circle that I used to have, so being thrown into a work situation gave me one again. I'm a really nice person. I smile at everyone, even people I don't really care for. I say hi to anyone I make eye contact with. I try to make people feel at ease and cheer up those who seem down. I always ask if they're all right when they look ill or sad. I am just one of those people who care. Shoot me, oh FSM, shoot me - I dare to care!!!!

I work with my sister for the Evil Empire. We even work in the same department, which gives me plenty of time with her to catch up and all. That's all fine and dandy with me. She is the one person that I knew I could talk to there and I already knew everything about everybody who worked there well before I even set foot in the store. People don't realize this though. They think I'm some naive chick who doesn't "get" things, or that since I haven't worked there as long as most of them that I don't "know" things. I know a lot. I am a watcher, a listener. I tend to pay attention to small things, and hear the things that weren't spelled out. Seriously, sometimes I think I should have either gone into the mental health field or the Forensics field. I like details.

Anyway, For the first few weeks, I pretty much kept to myself, aside from hanging with my sister during our lunches and breaks. Now, she is one of those people who has had issues with a lot of the people there. Mostly it's because she is a hard worker and expects the same from her coworkers. When they play around all the time and she's picking up their slack, it's a problem. She also tends to get wrapped up in the personal crap of other people who she THINKS are friends, and it ends up badly every time. Long story short - the problem was solved with moving her to a new department, but the nagging issues remained - people don't like her. So in turn, I felt that several of them don't like me either, simply because I am her sister, even though she and I aren't really much alike and I have never done ANYTHING to anyone there. Even on my first day (granted, I don't think anyone knew who I was), half those people wouldn't even acknowledge me or look me in the eye. I think some of them are realizing though that I am not her or that I'm alright for a new girl on the block and at least say hi now.

The problem now it seems, is that I AM a nice person. Not saying my sister is not a nice person, she IS - she is a kind and generous person who will go out of her way to help someone when they need it. But she also has an attitude that rivals many a Tasmanian Devil. Love her to death (I know you're reading this Babs), but I don't say anything about anyone that I wouldn't say to their face, and she knows it. When someone pisses her off, she doesn't forget and I don't think forgiveness is high on the list either. They call me the "Nice" sister, she's the "Mean" sister.

I am WAY nice though. I like to form my own opinions. I listen to what people have to say and watch their actions, THEN I base my opinions on that - very rarely do I go on hearsay. I came into this job knowing a lot of what goes on in the store, which should have prejudiced me to an extent. I met the people I'd heard so much about. Some of them I like, some I don't really care to be around, and a lot of them I just don't know enough about to form an opinion about. It's all just dependent on how they act toward me, or what kind of vibe I get from them. I like some people that she does not like, and she likes some people that I don't really want to be around. It's fine, we're different people, we can't like everything the same.

The previous is all basic background for what is bugging me.

I have a friend now, someone outside the "circle" that my sister talks to, and apparently it's an issue. People talk bad about him, some even try to start crap with him. I just don't see why they can't just leave the kid alone. (He's young enough to be my son, BTW.) Most of them haven't bothered to listen to him or talk to him for any length of time or get to know him at all. The only thing they think he knows how to do is be loud, talk sports and handle a pallet jack, sometimes in a dangerously fast fashion. A few of them, including my sister, used to talk to him, but they don't anymore. I think it's a mutual dislike now.

Anyway, I made the effort to get to know him. He's a sensitive kid, very sweet, very helpful and he just needs someone to listen. Of course, he hit on me the first time we ever really talked for more than 5 minutes. I was warned he'd do that, from a few people, so I expected it and quickly made it clear that he ain't got a chance in Hell with me. I make it clear every opportunity that I feel it necessary. I am pretty sure that he knows by now. He doesn't bother with trying anymore, which is a good sign. I also tell my husband everything significant that goes on in the store, including with my new friend. Of course, a lot of the store thinks that I've already given up the nookie to the kid since I spend a good deal of lunch times ( Steak N Shake... Mmmmmmm!) and breaks with him, which is fine, I don't give a rat's ass what any of them think. I give him what he needs more than sex - someone to LISTEN to him. It's what I am good at. I like to listen to people. I like to try to help with feedback if I can. He doesn't have many friends, I think I and another guy at work are about it for his social circle. I listen to EVERYONE though. He's not the only one, he just gets more of my attention because he's around me more than everyone else. So, here is the problem: everyone else at the store can't stand him. My sister complains about him, my other coworkers complain about him, a couple of them are even jealous of him! (As IF ANY of them have a chance with me, PUH-LEASE!) Nobody there has a right to tell me WHO I can talk to or hang out with. If they don't like it, they don't have to be around me either. The only thing I ask of anybody is that they (A) Don't judge me just because I like the kid and (B) don't talk shit about him in front of me. I wouldn't do it to them about their friends, and I don't expect that treatment from them.

I was so pissed off with several people yesterday that I almost just decided not to speak to ANY of them again, including my own sister (at least while at work). There's more to the story, but I won't go into any of that. I just try to remember something one of my coworkers told me - she said for me to remember that I was put into his life for a reason. I believe that. I'm the only one who can calm him down when he needs it (temper, good grief he has a bad temper). I feel like I'm the only one there that truly cares about him. I'm the one who LISTENS. What is so wrong with that? Why does everyone feel the need to shove their noses into it? I know the kid has a crush on me - everyone knows that. Doesn't mean we can't be friends and it damn sure doesn't mean I've already jumped in the sack with him. He's not my type, not in my age range, and just doesn't "do it" for me. He knows he won't ever get me. It's simple. His feelings might get hurt, but that's life. I enjoy his company. He spoke to me when no one else cared to. Not a damn person in the store outside of our department made ANY effort to get to know me until after he did (sisters don't count). He watches out for me, helps me if I need it, and tries to keep me in a good mood. I do the same for him. Why does there have to be drama about that?

I totally just do not get how people can constantly give their ill-founded opinions when they don't take the time to understand things before shooting off at the mouth. It makes me sick and it makes me not even want to bother with any of them. If people, including family, would bother to pay real attention to things, they'd be a little less apt to jump to conclusions and be mean to people who really don't deserve it. I can do without snarky attitudes from people. All it does is make things worse and cause bad feelings all around. I don't like feeling that way at all. My husband is the only one who has a right to say ANYTHING about who I talk to, and he just wants to make sure the kid knows he'll kick his ass if he crosses the line with me. Perfectly acceptable to me and my buddy knows it. Shouldn't that be enough for everyone else? I never thought I was THAT much in demand that people have to freakin' fight over me. It's just ridiculous some things that people say and do, yet they call ME rude? Whatever. High school is over, was a long time ago. Time to grow up people.

Creepy man

So, as some of you know, I work for the Evil Empire on the 3rd shift. I love my job, I love working at night when there aren't many customers around. Unfortunately, we also get the most weirdos during the 3rd shift. Yesterday, I had my first semi-stalker.

I was coming off my first break of the night at 12:15, walking down what we call the "action alley" between grocery and apparel, and I yawned and shook my head. A slightly older black man in a security guard uniform was walking toward me and he stopped in front of me and asked if I was okay. I said yeah, I was just tired and it's gonna be a long night. He asked what time I came in and I told him 10. Then he asked what time my shift ended and I told him 7. A little bit of chit chat about how rough it is working the 3rd shift... then he asked me my name. Well, I held up my name tag on my lanyard which is clearly displayed at all times and told him "Deanna". Then he holds his hand out for me to shake and says his name is St Louis (at least that is what it sounded like he said, the fella has an accent I can really place) and he kinda lingered with holding my hand.

Now, I am not wanting to be rude to a customer, so I easily pull my hand away without completely jerking it out of his hand, even though now I'm kinda creeped out by the dude. He stood too close to me, every time I'd make a move back or over, he'd move too, like almost a foot away from me, which TOTALLY violates my "personal space" rule. The whole time, he maintained eye contact and kept doing this weird look like he was trying to be sexy. It reminds me of Bela Legosi in the Dracula movies of old. Anyway, I politely excused myself saying I had to get to work because my break was over and I have lots to do and I walked away. My sister was up at the front door and saw the guy talking to me and saw me walk away from him.

So, a couple of minutes later, one of my coworkers from Electronics comes walking over to me with this man in tow, asking me if I could help him find a hat or something to keep his ears warm. I said sure, so she walked away and I showed him to the hats (they keep moving them around the men's department, so I had to actually walk over there to find them, otherwise I'd have just pointed him in the general direction). We get to the hats and he stands TOO close for my comfort, but I go on talking, saying that the hats that you can roll or fold would probably be best for what he wants, and I even made a joke about the ski mask type being good for if he wanted to knock off a bank. Then he moves in closer to me and says, "I am too good for that" and is doing that eye/face thing again like he's trying to hypnotize me or something. I'm like, "Uh, okay, I'll bet you are." Then he says, "I can show you how good I am." I said, "Um... I'm sure you could", and I started to back away. Then he grabs my arm and leans toward me again and says, "I can come in here every night". I was like, "You do that", and I pulled my arm away nice and slowly. (I don't like making sudden moves around crazy people, it sets them off.) So then he says to me, grabbing my arm again, "I can come in every night and make things hard for you". I was like, "Uh, you go right ahead and do that", and I pulled my arm away again and started to walk around him to get out of there. Then he grabs my arm again and he repeats himself about coming in and making things hard for me. I told "Good luck with that" and I started to walk off again. Then he says, "This job gives me great power." I'm assuming he means being a security officer, since he did have on a security officer coat. So I said "good luck with that" to him again and I walked away. He says to me, "Why are you walking away from me?" and I turned and said, "I have work to do". He asks again, I said I have work to do again and I walked around the kids' clothes section and then straight up to the front of the store while dialing my sister's cell and telling her to get up to the front with me. I didn't want him to go harass her since she works in the men's department.

We told the CSM at the front of the store and told all the cashiers up there. Apparently, this dude was in there a few times already that night and scared a second shift cashier so bad that she was afraid to walk to her car when she was off work that night. Anyway, he went to check out and bought one of the ski caps (not the full face one, just a regular fold down one) and he exited the store. So, we all went back to work.

Then, less than an hour later, I was putting away my freight and I noticed someone walking toward me in the kids' department. It was him again. This time, he had on a different jacket and the ski cap. I had my hands full, otherwise I'd have pulled my box cutter out of my pocket RIGHT then. He was walking toward me with one hand behind his back *which was the point I was concerned), and I asked him, "What do you want?" He said, "Oh, you recognize me?" I said yeah, then he said "I couldn't sleep". So I immediately dropped what I had in my hands into the closest buggy and started to walk off and said to him over my shoulder, "Maybe you need to take a sleeping pill" and I headed through the clothes racks and tables out of his line of sight and toward the guys over in grocery. I told the first one of them I saw that I need Velton (our assistant manager) RIGHT now. The guy, Jared, said what's wrong and i told him some creep is harassing me, so Jared walked with me up to the front of the store. I told them what happened up there and they paged our manager and one of the supervisors came over and she walked back to the fitting room where my sister and the other lady in apparel were at.

I tried to call my sister, but she was trying to call me at the time and I didn't get an answer, so I started to walk back there to her because I didn't know if she knew he was back and I didn't want him walking up on her. The people up front didn't want me to walk back there, but I went ahead. I stood back behind the counter at the fitting room with my sister and Karla (the supervisor) and the other apparel associate Chanel were standing in the aisle. They told me the guy was walking all over the apparel section looking for me. He didn't speak to any of them, or approach any of them at all. Then he spotted me over there and walked over and Karla very loudly asked him if she could help him find anything. He said he was looking for some gloves, so Karla said to him that this lady (Chanel) will show him to the gloves. Chanel is a big woman, and she don't look like the type you wanna go messing with. She took him over there then came right back. Then he picked some gloves, went to a cashier and when he was paying for them, and the cashier handed him his change, he kinda held her hand in a creepy way instead of just holding his hand out like normal people. He left the store. Thankfully, he didn't come back that night.

Unfortunately, I spent the rest of the night totally looking over my shoulder. It really sucked having to be constantly on guard like that. We in "softlines" are the biggest targets for the creeps because there are usually only 2 or 3 of us and we're spread out over the whole apparel section. The rest of the associates work in pairs or on aisles together, so they're usually never alone. I'm usually alone most of the time working in my section, and a lot of the time, I'm out of the line of sight for everyone when I'm between clothes walls and racks. The guys over in grocery are always just a holler away though, and I have my one little "puppy" who checks in with me all the time, but he wasn't there last night and from what I understand has or is quitting and won't be back. I usually put my blade in my locker if I don't have freight to process in the back room so I don't have to carry it in my pocket all night long, but from now on I think I'll be keeping it on me just in case.

I have the next 4 nights off, which I'm kinda thankful for now. If he comes back, hopefully he'll see I'm not there and maybe think I quit or something. It just bothered me even moreso that he honed in on me and nobody else. I was totally vulnerable when I showed him to the hats because it was out of the way of everyone else's view. My sister saw me hauling ass out of the men's section when he was there that time, so she knew something was up. I wasn't really afraid at that point, because I can certainly take care of myself, but it makes ya feel kinda creepy when ya think about how many times I've been alone back there and not really paying attention to what was going on for a bit.
