I'll be at the movies.

What you seeing?

You got to the moon you selfish dreamer!


Why, was there another meltdown I missed today/last night?

Damn it...did I miss a meltdown?

Crap, I hate it when work gets in the way of my BWW entertainment.

There was a very, very, very angry photgrapher on the main board briefly. But it mostly consisted of screen
caps of his abusive PMs to various people.

The thread was deleted fairly quickly.

Ah, well. I already had "Night of A Thousand Jason Bennett Posts" to lunch on this week.

[PalJoey]

That's what it'll probably be again tonight.

I missed his meltdown this afternoon. Can someone send me some screencaps?

And what color was it? I don't think Reginald Tresilian knows about the color-coded Meltdown Code.

Does anyone still have the list?

The Color Code Alert System

If we're talking Angry Photographer, I'll leave it to Phyllis and Kalimba to color-code it.

I like meltdowns.

I didn't save the thread, but I did save the PMs I got.

Basically, this dude called barrym2 joined today to shill his website and giving a headshot for a hundred bucks or something. Then he went to the OT board, which I link below. The screed is sort of HDThoreau-lite. And if there hadn't been a link to his photography website, one might think it was a former poster liked the aforementioned HDThoreau or similar.

So in his headshots thread, I might have just suggested that his offer was for conservatives only or something like that. Well, that was all it took. He kept getting crazier and crazier - and sent me and Kalimba (I'm not sure if any others got them) some whackado PMs, and I'll post mine in a second.

Now, I'm actually not out of work, but that's neither here nor there. I told him - not via PM, but in said thread - that I did have a job, and I would suspect if anyone had hard times it was he who was offering headshot packs at going out of business prices.

So I got this one, and again, total projection. I ain't denying I have anger issues, but I HAVE worked them out with my shrink, and since I had cancer, I really don't get as angry as I used to.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

PS - Others might disagree with my last statement, but it really is true. I get that people are always expecting me to be nasty so they see nastiness that I often don't intend to be there, but c'est la vie, you know? Tend your own gardens.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

So this was the last PM I got. And again, it's no secret that I have a penchant for being an a-hole, so it's not like this was new information.

Then we just made fun of him for a bit and that was that. I took a break (from my job! where I work!) and when I came back it was gone.

Happy Friday to all, but especially to my beloved Kalimba. And Reg.

It's your charm that brings the boys to the yard!

I think poor Kalimba received an even worse PM, if you can imagine it.

Happy Friday to all.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 6/11/10 at 8:39pm

I think you're right. If she shows up in this thread, maybe she'll share it. Nobody messes with my Kalimba!

[Kalimba]

Posted: 6/11/10 at 9:02pm

Did someone page Kalimba

Phyllis, honey, I'm not as computer literate as you (I have no idea how to capture an image), so I'm just posting the text from the PM I received from Barry M. I had just posted something about him taking one of Jason Bennett's classes on how one can shill oneself.

Hey whats your problem you loser!!
you have a problem with promoting yourself?
are you that much of an angry loser?
mind your damn buisness

I crack up just thinking about him wanting to bad mouth Phyllis. What was that really going to prove anyway?? And Phyllis you took the words right out of my mouth: someone had projection issues.

I want to adopt Kalimba and raise her like she's my own.

Oh, I also reminded Barry Morgenstein barrym2 the difference between you're and your.

And I made a pun about a barrym enema. Wordplay!

I wish! I need to find a rich husband, especially now that I have a daughter to support!

Kisses to Phyllis and Reg.

I was so hoping there'd have been one this evening.

[tazber]

Posted: 6/12/10 at 7:27am

I haven't seen PMs like that since the a certain female poster went balls out crazy about over a dead carol.

Brilliant!
