    Trying My Hand At This…

    Remember this guy? The Grossest Date Wreck ever?

    If you saw the post when it first went up — first of all, tell your retinas that I send my regards. But you probably saw it all unfold.

    The short version of the story is that he wanted his post removed. I checked into it and, really… Legally… I don’t have to do that. I ended up compromising with him and cropped his face out of the pictures (which was tragic because he looked EXACTLY like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs, for real) and removed his location and user name.

    He also looked up my DNS information. I neglected to make it private when I bought the domain. Whew — big mistake (No worries, folks. It’s an issue that has been corrected). He got my phone number.

    So, don’t hate on me for the video quality.I’m new at this. It’ll take me some time to make this an art form.

    See it on Youtube here, though ol’ Bill has already tried to flag it there.

    I can’t stop giggling.

    Transcript:

    “This message is for Jami.
    You have 48 hours to take down that post.
    I will try to follow through with any action I can to take down that site.
    This is not some kind of idle threat.
    I requested it several times and you did not comply with what I wanted to do.
    I’m quite serious about this.
    I want to take it to the ethical and legal channels sku– if I can’t have to — if I have to do that to pursue it.
    Didn’t want it to come to this, but that’s ‘sactly what I’m going to do.
    If I do not see that– see that post taken down.
    I’ve done my part.
    I’ve eighty-sixed everything that I had on the ‘net.
    Now it’s your turn.
    Respect my wishes.
    I will do everything to take that domain down — name down with my pictures on it and the offending comments.
    I am offended.
    I am upset.
    I expect you to comply.
    This is the only time I’m going to call you about this situation.
    I don’t even want to see you face to face.
    This is something that I wish for you to do.
    I hope that we can resolve this issue without any type of further [long pause] type of um, well, let’s just put it this way, again. I’m just going to report it.
    Forty eight hours.
    Pointe blank — the domain name goes down one way or the other.
    Do what I ask.
    Please
    [he's choking up now]
    I am very [voice cracking] very upset about this.
    I do not think you understand exactly how upset I’m am.
    I consider this offensive and your comments to me offensive, personally.
    I will never call you again about this matter.
    I will never ever do anything else, other than go for that name.
    [suuuuper long pause]
    Thank you.”
