Even a lot of the comments, some of which were by people who otherwise liked this author, were talking about how obviously fabricated and implausible the story is.

I made some comment saying how the only way this story would be remotely plausible is if instead of Captain America they were going to see a late night showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and instead of transgender people there were just a bunch of cross-dressers. I mean, it would still obviously be fake, but at least not as dramatically so as the story in its present state. This other article making of this apparently thought the same thing I did: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2016/05/10/the-rod-d-horror-picture-show/ "None of this would be believable even if she’d made this a story about taking her son to a midnight showing of Rocky Horror in Provincetown."

I'm so impressively, jaw-droppingly smart yet I can't pluralize the word "woman"


Also I love the 9 hour gap between the thing posted and the green guy responding. And then the next gap where no one else even touches the thing. It tells you exactly what kind of person the OP is, one of those people you have on your friends list and want to delete but you used to all hang out together in high school so there's some straw of social netiquette that makes you hesitate every time you hover over the "unfriend" button.

Mine is a guy who keeps liking Trump posts and Breitbart articles about how Trump zinged those idiot Democrats.

He's Canadian. Trump wants to keep him out of the country.

I am a software developer, I write software for small financial services companies.

I sold a subscription based software package to them. Basically a server database with front end on the workstations. It's not expensive $25 per user, per month. They have 27 users registered. So pay me $675 per month.

In March, the payment date arrived and nothing. I emailed them asking for payment and reminding them of there contract terms, and stating if they did not pay the software would be removed. I had a reply saying there would be a slight delay, and they will be in contact shortly.

A couple of weeks later another email saying I'll be paid soon but they're having cashflow issues. I replied saying this wasn't acceptable, and I needed full payment of both March and April on 04/30/2016 at the latest.

THEY DIDN'T PAY!!! I called them on 05/02/2016 to say that I was coming to remove the software. When I arrived they wouldn't let me in, but I was given cash of the money due. I told them that I was still going to remove the software as I had no intention of working with them anymore. They wouldn't let me in.

At the weekend I went back to their office, a shared building. I did not have to break anything to enter the property, I simply walked in, and then got into their office through a fire escape door that lead into another hallway.

Once in I nuked their server, removing my software completely, and to a state that would be very very difficult to recover the data.

The server is theirs, and as far as I know they only had it to use my software. So I haven't deleted anything else. The data on my database was all of their client records etc, if they haven't backed that up that's their own problem. It shouldn't have been in my software if they are no longer contracted to me.

I was careful to not break anything or "force entry" into their property. And I don't believe I was seen by any cameras. I also didn't steal anything.

I have had constant calls (unanswered), and emails demanding I return stolen client data (WHICH I DON'T HAVE).

So far all I have replied to them is with

quote:

You are no longer clients of mine. Any further emails will be considered harassment.

I got a letter late last night saying they were going to take me to court. I'm pretty sure they've got nothing on me. All I did was take back what the stole. They were no longer clients, so didn't have a license for my software.

Should I say that I deleted the data remotely? (Which I can't actually do). What other proof do I need that I was in the right?

EDIT: A lot of you seem to be tech illiterate! I deleted MY OWN SOFTWARE, that they stole! I didn't steal anything, or delete anything not on the server. I didn't illegally access a computer, I removed stolen property from it!

quote:

I am 100% in the right! I haven't deleted their property, I have deleted my property that they stole! If they were storing their precious data there then tough poo poo!

Describing the incident as like a “Tarantino movie”, the film studies student says he was forced to lie on the ground as a man waved a knife in his face.

Instead, he leapt to his feet, snapped the cable ties binding his hands and attacked him with the first thing the could find - the umbrella.
“I’ve no idea how I broke the cables but it definitely scared him. I shouted at him ‘You have no idea who you’re messing with’ and the dynamic completely changed.”

This troper has been working on a fantasy novel for a few years. Two of those years were spent being hounded by a sadistic jerkass who enjoyed following me around and claiming to believe things that I consider disgusting, or attributing them to me, in an attemt to anger me into attacking him and getting in trouble, or shouting and yelling, and destroying my reputation. All those who had once been my friends found him hilariously funny, and all the grownups claimed that I should turn the other cheek, and let him he would come to a sticky end. I am convinced that he and his laughing torture represent the next great evil, and he will become a tyrant on the scale of Augustus, Hitler, and Mao. I also believe that he was an aggressive drug dealer, but could not prove it as his admissions were buried between claims that he or I was a Nazi or a slaver, among many others. During that time, the main villain of my book gained a new Dragon, based on this demon, who singlehandedly breaks the PG-13 I usually hold myself to, and dies 2 humiliating deaths. Ironically, I think this may greatly improve my book. and if he does take over, I will lead La Resistance

This troper apparently was one of these— she had quite the vocabulary as a little child, along with an anxiety disorder and what seemed to be an adult's intellect. Cue a seven year old schoolgirl acting like a borderline sociopathic adult. Looking back, I never did anything particularly violent (except for a deeply disturbing fascination with war) but I could not have been fun to be around. (I do however remember writing stories, frequently in the style of creepy Edwardian children's books, that involved much murder, creepy quintuplets, vengeful little girls and people getting killed and left in swamps. These books were illustrated. And yet, my mother's only response was "very nice, dear...") Also, I disturbingly resembled an Anne Frank clone with a monobrow, as I refused to smile for photographs. (And, um, had a monobrow. There's also a baby photo of me out there where I look like a ravening zombie, covered with red... something, that creeps out even me.)
This same troper also had a close friend who was sallow-skinned and skinny, with curly dark hair and jet-black eyes. Who rarely spoke, lived in a big Victorian house almost entirely alone with a rarely-seen 'father' and drew incredibly creepy pictures— and then wrote all over them "in tongues". In blood. His own blood. It's a pity that once I got to know him better, he turned out to be a garden variety Ralph Wiggum— drat! It would have been awesome to be best friends with a kid Antichrist...

quote:

This troper was a very creepy, messed up little kid, now that he looks back. He remembers a particularly ghastly incident when a bully was harassing a friend of his. He went up to the bully one day at recess, snuck up right behind him and yelled, "I WANNA RIP YOUR ARMS OFF!!!!" The bully screamed and peed his pants. Then there was the time with the fake blood...shudder...

quote:

A kid in my neighborhood is slowly starting to become one of these he used to be a rather innocent hyperactive kid who was always running away from his parents, later on he became like a stray cat because whenever someone shows the slightest bit of kindness to him he won't leave them alone this shouldn't be a surprise because he comes from a BigScrewedUpFamily who barely pays attention to him, he's always running away from home and following people around on his bike, recently he has shown some rather disturbing behavior on day he went to one family and shouted "your mom's a loving slut and your all a bunch of queers" we can only imagine his dad told him to say that because his dad's been quite hosed up in the head lately, girls have recently been pulled from his mom's daycare because he harasses them and tells them to take off their clothes (we wonder why his mom has a daycare when she barely looks after her own kids), another time he went into a neighbor's house and smashed their antique vases and he picked up their pug dog and threw it into the street they said it came very close to dying because it was bleeding from the ears and the vets were just barely able to save it, and another time he hit a baby girl with a baseball bat and grabbed a little boy by the balls and when asked why he did those things he said "because I felt like it" and after letting go of the boy's crotch says to him "how does that feel?", another time at the fair he was poking a rabbit in the eyes and I told him to stop but he wouldn't, the most disturbing part of this he's only six years old.

quote:

There was this very messed up kid who went to my school for a brief time, he was very short and kind of ugly, he had no friends basically because he was mean to everyone, he was very disruptive in class often shouting curse words for no reason, in art class he drew violent pictures of people killing each other, he cut out his own nipples with a knife because he thought they were too girly and also cut off his eyelashes for the same reason, he openly told the class he would come out with a gun and kill everyone right in the middle of a lesson (this was before Columbine), he brought a knife to school and terrorized the students at the playground he even stabbed one of them in the leg, he was very aggressive in gym he once beat someone up because they served him a bad pitch during a kickball game, during a water party he was sprayed and he went crazy, he ripped off his shirt and attacked the person who sprayed him, he was eventually expelled and taken away for treatment for his behavior problems, he later came back a few years later to see if his behavior had improved needless to say he blew it and was once again expelled, recently I heard that he had spent quite some time in a halfway house and his behavior improved greatly.

A red flag in the case of Leroy was that he signed all his emails, "The Smoothenator." When we met in person, he had two pairs of sunglasses on. And it was nighttime.

He told me, "I might need you to help me walk."

I suggested, "Maybe you should take your sunglasses off."

He replied, "The Smoothenator leaves his sunglasses on. Even in the shower."

"Why?" I asked.

"Because the Smoothenator paid for waterproof glasses."

He wore his glasses at dinner. The waitress asked if he wanted a braille menu. When he told her he could see she gave him a funny look but said nothing more. When he ordered his dinner, he told her, "The Smoothenator will have the chicken parm." He also ordered for me, saying, "The Smoothenator's girlfriend will have the Caesar salad."

When the waitress left, I corrected him: "I'm not your girlfriend."

He pointed at me and said, "You are the Smoothenator's girlfriend."

I asked, "What if I don't want to be your girlfriend?"

He said, "Then why is the Smoothenator wasting time with you?"

"For a nice time and conversation?"

Leroy laughed and said, "The Smoothenator cares not for such things."

We split dinner and went our separate ways. I planned to ask him if he was going to drive home at night with his sunglasses on, but decided that I didn't care.
