Ranting Ahead

[emma_moon]

I've heard some interesting rumors lately about a former place I used to volunteer for.

Seems the owner, who I think is a total jerk, has become an even bigger jerk.

I don't know what the hell his problem is, but he needs to pull his head out of his ass. He's been on a banning spree and talking about people behind their backs. He even went so far as to try and jeopardize someone's job. All because they didn't agree with something he did or said.

It's a hobby, a volunteer thing. That's it. Not a job. Who the hell does this POS think he is? He says that his site cares about the people who help there and the authors, but that's a load of crap.

He'd sell them all out in a New York minute. That's a fact. A friend of mine learned the hard way what would happen if you crossed him. She was terrified of him for a long time. Now, she's been alot better, but no thanks to that asshat.

Well, I'm not scared of him. He's nothing but a bully and a coward. He's high and mighty behind the computer screen, and full of shit. He talks about all sorts of things that he's done. Pfffffft. Not buying it. He's manipulative and anal. Thinks he's the best author when his story is only mediocre. No other self respecting site would publish it, so he had to create his own and managed to alienate just about every site out there in the process. Why? Because he's a jerk. The bully on the playground. Well, I for one think he needs to be knocked on his ass.

There are more people finally figuring out that he's not the benevolant type of person he tries to portray. He's a backstabber. Unfortunately, some will not discover this in time and will be hurt by him. Thank God I finally said "enough is enough" and got myself out of that situation. I'm so much happier now and I have gotten involved with different writing projects that make me feel good. Not like that life leeching site that I hope goes down in flames because the owner sucks donkey dick. Big donkey dick.

Rant over.

I'm not sure what happened but we'll just pick up and move on. He'll realize eventually what he lost.

I hope so, after he gets kicked in the teeth, the bastard.

Ya know... and I know who you're talking about... I'm sticking with it there (oh don't freak, let me explain) because I got involved in a project and if I leave, another volunteer of a very tender age will get stuck with a whole crap load of work and she's already overworked.

Otherwise I avoid him if at all possible. Ususally everyone else there is okay, but yeah... I decided that flying under his radar would be a very good idea. I'm afraid of saying anything to people most of the time because I want to stay out of it but I'm glad you're out! It wasn't worth it.

The only nice thing for me was that I actually met all of you... so I can be glad for that (at least) :-)

I understand completely Sarah, believe me.

I'm glad I got to meet you too. You're a blast to talk to and an awesome writer.

I agree it's not worth it, but I got a bit upset when someone I like is being harassed. I'll stand up for my friends any day of the week.

If you ever decide to leave, let me know we have plenty of room at HPCR.

[yellowitchgrl.livejournal.com]

As soon as I can find the time... that's been my biggest problem. I keep wanting to go and join up at HPCR but I have no time, at all. I will though :-)

Well, I've been wondering just how long before someone broke the public silence. I have found it particularly enlightening that this person has on many occasions tried to dictate who his staff associates with. I've found that I've lost a few people whom I thought were honest friends because of him.

The only thing I'll say is that for every bully, ego, control freak out there...there is always someone that is bigger and badder.

[emma-moon.livejournal.com]

I was trying to be a bigger person, but I just couldn't do it. I might be immature for putting this post up, but it made me feel a lot better.

I know exactly what you are talking about Dennis. He uses people then manipulates them to his way of thinking. I know who my friends are, and that is what's important.

I'm glad to be doing this RPG with you and all the other writers. It's been a real pleasure and so easy going. I'm enjoying it a lot.

And to end this and sound petty, I hope someone bigger and badder comes along and kicks his booty. He so much deserves it.

Well, having been "in charge" of the site at one point or another, I know exactly what you mean. It sucks to get stomped on by someone you trusted.

It also sucks to not speak to people who you'd developed friendships with because you've left and they've not.

And it sucks to feel like you contributed to some of the horror. *sigh*

I'm just glad that I still have some of you guys (I hope!) to talk with.

And I'm sooooo glad that I decided to do the RPG because I've met some AMAZING people!

Don't worry about him--everyone gets what they deserve in the end, so as long as you watch out for yourself, I think you'll be doing ok. :)

I hope you feel better now!

Hehe

Couldn't say it better myself. Though with all the ranting, I may give it a try ;)

Oh well, off to write a letter...

Standing Tall and True

It has taken me a long while to respond to this rant. This is what happened.

I was on IM with H. At that time, the site was divided into Departments. This came about because H suggested it in the first place. I asked him how the Departments were running. He said fine.

Now, before I tell you what happened next, I need to explain something.

British humour is very subtle. For example, if A is holding a huge key, B will then ask A, "Couldn't you get anything bigger?" This means, "Heavens. What a huge key!"

So if A says "Remember the Public Relations Department you were handling before? Well, to be honest, it is rather doing better than expected." B then responds, "Oh, good show. Just as well, I did not continue running that ruddy thing, isn't it?"

When H told me that the Departments were fine, I then said, "Oh, just as well, I am not the Head of Admin. then."

H did not catch the joke. He went, "Huh?" So I said, "Well, I was suppose to take over on the 1st Sept from A, but then you suggested this matrix idea."

Of course, so many things occurred then so my being head is no longer even viable. And it was fine. I was happy just being a friend to the site. After all, I have given it every ounce of energy, love and care. It is what it is today because volunteers like you have worked so hard. I have spent so many sleepless nights, much heartache and behind the scenes negotiations.

I told H that what I said was a joke. It was in the past and we should move on. What did he do? As usual, he opened his huge mouth, half cocked and like wormtail to Lord Voldemort, said something to this owner.

This owner then had his girlfriend say "So this is the CUNT who claims to be British and could not speak the King's language?" This was ONLINE with one 16 year old, one 12 year old, 2 15 year olds, and a very very prominent author who saw this ONLINE!!!!He said in response, "BASICALLY."

I graciously left only to be followed with IM to "bugger off" and leave his property alone. He then threatened to write my workplace and reveal every intimate details that he and I were suppose to be privy to ONLINE!

The word "cunt" in the UK, is really the most horrible thing you could say to any body. Not only is it derogatory, it really means that that person is worse than spit.

I am asking all you, dear authors to forgive me for inviting you to this site. I have read your fics and reviewed every chapter. I now feel ashame that I dragged you to this site. I am so sorry that I have even bothered to spend time when my sister needed me. Now she is dead... and all those hours I could have spent with her.... I spent on this site. What a fool I truly was!
