CanuckInUSA 0 #126 February 18, 2004 QuoteA quick note to the person who sent this email: (yes, I know who you are) When you patter around Dropzone.com doing searches on a username and related terms to collect data (like post numbers etc), and especially if you do so on the same day you sent the email to his employer, then it's really easy to see your little mud-steps all over the internet and log files. I'm going to stand by my privacy policy and not share this information with Steve, but I do want to put you on notice: You're on my shit list. Sangiro you rock. I respect your decision not to share information as it shows every one else that you are a man of integrity towards your policies. It doesn't help me in terms of knowing who this person is, but I have my strong suspicions as the one I think who is the guilty party has talked to me in the past about my DZ.COM activities as well as the activities of every else on here. A note to the shit out there who tried to rat on me. Your ploy appears to have failed. I have a good rapport with my co-workers and nobody from management has said anything to me. Contrary to what you may think. I do work and I am good at what I do (shit I've been in the computer business for almost 20 years now). I just haven't been working as hard as I have in the past. But you may have actually done me a favor as maybe this will motivate me to work a little harder (not too hard mind you as I am not a a slave to corporate america). I will log out now (as I do have a deadline to make and bugs to fix) and will check back in later. To all of my friends out there, thanks for the support. We may not always agree and sometimes we may act like geeks, but the people on dropzone.com rock.

CanuckInUSA 0 #131 February 18, 2004 I still lack the smoking-gun evidence I need to positively identify this individual and unless I obtain that evidence I will not name names. But the circumstantial evidence is building and I have a new prime suspect in mind. I knew this person was mischievous, but I always thought they were a friend. However they have crossed the line and there is no return. I have never done anything bad to this person, yet here they are trying to destroy my career and in essence, my life. But they failed. The next step is to try and trace the email message and the person in question sure better hope that they were thorough in hiding their email identify as many email messages can be traced. If I do obtain my much desired smoking gun evidence. Look out as the shit will hit the fan. You suck ... and you know who you are. In fact you were even logged in to DZ.COM this morning you piece of shit. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deuce 1 #142 February 18, 2004 Uh, I got two daughters in Brownies. I am set for GS Cookies. I like the ones with the soft blob of peanut butter on them. And Steve? Sorry about the asshole (not yours, the internet one). People who are by nature happy and engaged in life will always incur the enmity of the bitter. Misery loves company, and the bitter are always anxious to add to their ranks. Attempt to rise above it, because when you are engaged in the struggle with these people, they have won. And as long as they have entangled you, they are winning. You win this fight by walking away from it. Best of luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #145 February 20, 2004 QuoteSomeone with a DZ.COM account tried to get me fired today. If you're looking for a name, you're NOT going to get it. But I have an extremely important message to relay to all of the DZ.COM users out there concerning what happened to me the other day when someone with a DZ.COM account tried to get me fired by sending a email to my employer saying that all I do at work all day long is surf the net (especially here on this site). If you are a novice computer user (and when I say novice, I mean someone who isn't formally trained in how to administer computer networks or how to develop network software like we do at the company I work for). Do NOT think that you can out smart a professional by hiding behind some sort of internet alias. You need to understand that most everything you do on the internet can be traced if the person investigating you knows what they are doing. I have my reasons for deciding NOT to publicly name this person (because there is the possibility that what they have told me is the truth). And do NOT PM me asking for a name or a clue as to who this person is, because I will NOT tell you. And besides, they are someone that most of you people don't know anyway. But before I end this, I would like to tell you a short story about something which happened to me a while back as I honestly do believe that it is relevant in this event. Back in the early to mid 90s (yes during my whuffo days), I thought I was this hot shot computer consultant. I was good, I won't bullshit you. But I was still young and inexperienced. Anyway some clients signed me up for what was going to be a high profile contract writing some very technical and complicated Seismic Log viewing application which Geologists in the Oil Patch would use instead of the old micro-fiche methods. This was to be a project which I would do in the evenings and on weekends while I continued to do my regular 9-5 programming job and it wasn't an hourly contract I was venturing into, it was a fixed contract. And initially the compensation looked pretty sweet. Well the project was extremely complicated and I ran into many many problems. Ultimately I did get the job done to the client's satisfaction, but it took four times the amount of time it was supposed to take. The client wasn't freaked out about the delay (shit they were paying a fixed price for the software), but I was frustrated because things just didn't go the way they were supposed to go. This was a hard job. So come payday, I basically was whining and complaining to the client about how hard this contract was and that I pretty much got screwed (and I had a very good relationship with the client) and ultimately his response was "I'm older than you and more experienced than you". And what could I say. He was right. People (especially the young cocky people out there), please know that us older farts (I'm 40) are more experienced than you. I doesn't mean that you have no skills, have no talent. It just means that were know more about certain things in life because we've lived through many of them already. You may be sitting back right now say stuff like, ya bullshit, what does he know. But believe me, when you get older you will understand where I'm coming from here. Treat your fellow humans with the same courtesy and respect that you want to be treated with in return. And please try not to judge people. That's all I've got to say. Now I really need to get some sleep as I haven't slept very much since someone tried to destroy my reputation, my career and my life. But I am happy to report that they failed and my current job is very much still secure.

freefallfreak 0 #150 February 20, 2004 Yeah, I know they freeze nice...but I now have to "eat healthy" (dammit), so they are no longer on my list of "to eat" things (curses, grumbles.) Things will work out the way they are supposed to with the surgery, I guess. Thanks for the well wishes. FFF "Upon seeing the shadow of a pigeon, one must resist the urge to look up."
