Schadenfreude & Why you should never use you work email when booking SPs.

[moi]

I'm just thinking of the residual fall out. Such as, he gets canned but has a wife and kids? They did nothing wrong, but the impact on them? Guys that get all desperate and say stupid shit out of frustration should have consequences, yes, but for being an ass I think the consequences could be potentially devestating. Karma, or even "An eye for an eye", dictates that someone annoy the sit out of him, no?

karma works in mysterious ways

no pity for him at all.

u deserve bragging rights!!!!

Rule # 1 Of "Pooning Club"

Open up a pooning email addy - hotmail and yahoo are the pooner's allies.

 

[mcdoste]

Business is business and personal is personal. Never shall the two meet. I have a "personal" computer that I use for the hobby, games, surfing, anything that is not business related. It is totally seperate from my business systems and will always remain that way. Not only do employees need to be aware that their employer owns the equipment, emails and data on their machines, but the self employed need to be aware that rev canada can sieze your computers for examination during audits.

*snicker*

I don't have much sympathy for "buddy". I've dealt with too many a-holes to have any patience for boorish behavior, whether it's through email or face-to-face.

I'm surprised he used a work email to make contact. Dumb dumb dumb.

In most companies, the IT department has full access to everyone's email. Majority of the time, they don't bother to monitor the email, sometimes they have filters set to flag emails for questionable content.

But you have no privacy rights when it comes to corporate email, and in order to cover your backside, you have to assume that every email you send will be read by your immediate manager.

A lot of companies also know which websites you visit, and know how much questionable content you are watching.

Why'd you ever respond to him in the first place if he was being an ass?

Money isn't worth the danger you'd be placing yourself in with that kind of client.

He seems off the hook.

Because if she didnt reply there would be 0 drama and one less excuse to once again complain about how vile and abusive pooners are.

Of course it's funny....

If he was told to stop but did not, then he got exactly what he deserved, but in this case he was never told that his actions were unwanted, just no replies then an autoresponse. He was infactuated with a woman that wouldn't even respond to say, "Leave Me Alone".

For insulting you in his last email, he is an ass, but come on, funny? I'm guessing that he lost his job, is seen as a perv for contacting an SP and who knows what other fall-out that may affect him for the rest of his life.

Obviously not II's fault, but I don't find it funny, nor do I believe that karma has been served.

My $0.02

He was rude and stupid.... of course it's funny. Total karma. How could anybody feel sorry for a dickhead like that. He deserved it.

Seeing assholes get their just desserts is one of the few permissable pleasures in life.

Everyone involved in this hobby should understand and be willing to accept the risks. If you're not, get out.

I would feel horrible if he was just a regular customer looking for a date and this happened through auto-reply. Having said that I think the first thing you do when you want to participate in this hobby is set up alternate email addresses and never use your work one.

I was chatting with a friend the other day on the lack of common sense some people display and I thought I'd post about a funny (to me at least) incident that happened shortly after going indy.

I used to get these vulgar emails from a man that I always ignored. Generally they included graphic details of what he wanted to do with me, asking how much for this and that, and were just generally gross. He'd always close by saying that this was his work email account and under no circumstances should I ever reply to him via email, and to call him at such and such a time and say my name was so and so.

I never responded and just ignored him, and of course his emails got more frantic and derogatory.

In the early spring I went on tour and left my auto-responder on. I happened to check it one day and almost fell off my chair laughing at the karmic justice.

"Buddy"'s email:
[Usual vulgar content including some nasty names directed at me because I wouldn't get back to him]

My auto-response:
I'm out of town and unavailable.... blah blah blah. ***EDIT** It also included a copy of his email to me.

Buddy's auto-response:
Buddy Smith is away on holidays until .... all of his emails will be forwarded to his manager... blah blah blah.

Funny.... I never heard from him again. I wonder why

Lesson:
Don't use your work or home email or phone number EVER unless it's safe for someone to reply at any given moment And always be polite

Part of being on the internet is that you will attract all types. It is a risk you take by putting your self out there. Some get all hyped and talk to sp’s in ways that they can not speak to their so. I am not condoning his email etiquette but I find you’re jumping for joy over his getting into trouble very distasteful. I have to say, shame on you for taking pleasure in someone’s misfortune.

That's kinda how I was thinking, he just said it better. As far as karma, stop butchering it's meaning. It is about balance, not revenge. Trust me, I saw that on TV.

Acutally even though he was totally disrespecful to Iz, she still didn't disrespect him by emailing him telling him how uncalled for his emails were and not to contact her again.
I would say many other girls would have replied to him way sooner. How can you comander respect by not emailing you back when you don't have any respect for this person? Nobody owed him anything, he was lucky he got off with just that. What if VPD had of been called to investigate harrassment? Then shit would have really hit the fan.
I would hope by Iz posting this a lesson has been learned not to use your work address.

Question to Hobbiests. Obviously unless a message is left of when and if it is okay to call back I don't. I always felt email was open game. If I receive an email with questions I feel it is par the course to reply? What do you guys think?

 

[trackstar]

"What if VPD had of been called to investigate harrassment?"

They would tell her to stop bothering them with petty bullshit.

By that logic it's ok for a man to harass a woman walking down the street in revealing clothing... she put herself out there, he got turned on, he can't control himself so she should expect that. What are SPs? The dumping ground for all men's sexual & social frustration and incompetence?

The vast majority of humour in the world is at someone's expense, and usually when they do something stupid. It's no more distasteful to laugh at this than any other moronic action. Example:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/O1UXl2hQ2Zk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/O1UXl2hQ2Zk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

The funny part is that he was fully aware that he was not supposed to be contacting escorts, or I'm sure browsing porn or any of the other things people get fired for on a regular basis all without help from anyone else. It was his own actions that lead to his downfall.... because he just couldn't help himself. What is he a monkey? I didn't send him a nasty reply get him in trouble, he did that all himself, knowing he would get in trouble if he was caught.

The only thing that perhaps I can be justifiably chastised for is laughing at the stupid. But given his grasp on the English language, I think he probably fell within the normal IQ range.

That's kinda how I was thinking, he just said it better. As far as karma, stop butchering it's meaning. It is about balance, not revenge. Trust me, I saw that on TV.

Don't believe everything you see on TV:

karma |ˈkärmə|
noun
(in Hinduism and Buddhism) the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences.
• informal destiny or fate, following as effect from cause. < how I was using it.

Thanks darling.

Yes, I did post to illustrate why one should never use any email account that is not private. Just like warning labels on buckets about not letting small children play around them, people aren't likely to heed them unless they have a graphic story to drive the point home.

I posted the story because every once in a while, like the day I posted, I get an email that closes by saying "This is my work email account. Don't email me back!"

"What if VPD had of been called to investigate harrassment?"

They would tell her to stop bothering them with petty bullshit.

I think it's more likely that someone with malicious intent would look up the company website, as his email was something along the lines of "buddysmith@randomcompany.com" and spammed every email account listed on that site. I didn't do this, nor would I.

I suspect these same gentlemen who take issue with me having a laugh at a pervert creep's self-inflicted downfall would be snickering with glee if they found out some SP they didn't like was busted for owning a bawdy house by the VPD because she was just a little too obvious - clear face shots, dressed provocatively, screaming & moaning loud enough to disturb the neighbours.

[jackryan02]

Well my site and all my ads were very clear that all communication was email only and that I do not answer rude, vulgar or explcit emails

Well, I hate to be an *sshole's advocate, but maybe he thought you meant "rude, vulgar AND explicit." So he could've been trying to be rude and vulgar, but in a non-explicit, very coy way. Because vulgarity is known for being subtle and nuanced.

 

[Stormrider]

Unfortunately people don't understand that regular email is sent as plain text (meaning that is fairly easy to intercept) Rule of thumb is, don't send anything you wouldn't want public over email.

Or, don't contact SPs from work, since the IT department can see what sites your are accessing and they reserve the right to scan network traffic, since they are responsible for what happens on the network. That also means that they might scan the traffic that is going out onto the internet.
