GFY ? I need your help. I know not what to do!

[Rick Latona]

So there?s this webmaster that has a vendetta against me. It all started a year or so ago when I did that 10,000 dollar 6 month post contest. The thread fell off the first 4 pages after about a month and a half largely do to the banning of some of the top posters do to non-relevant posts. The whole thing was an unfortunate event for everyone involved.

AlienQ was the top poster at the time the contest ended and never blamed me for what happened, until recently. He?s been all on my shit lately. I?ve offered to settle with him for 2000 dollars and he told me he wouldn?t even take 10,000 dollars now. He ?wants to see me go down?.

He?s entirely unreasonable and I?m sure you?ll see him hating on me in every thread from now on. Personally, I?d like to send him cash, bring him out to a trade show and get drunk and laugh about what has happened.

I need the wisdom of this board to show me the way. He wants to go to war. He just doesn?t understand.

[jact]

From what I've seen of his posts lately, he's got a chip on his shoulder the size of New York City. Now of course he's going to attack me for saying something. Oh well. Good luck with him, Rick.

step 1 - send me the $2k instead
step 2 - ???
step 3 - issue solved.


It's the wise solution.

[MickeyG]

that guy is an idiot anyways.

[polish_aristocrat]

From what I remember Lensman was also somehow involved in that whole thing...

[CDSmith]

AlienQ is a twit. If you find his home address send him a box of girl guide cookies and a consumption junction patented butt plug and leave it at that.

[Fake Nick]

send me half of what you planned on spending on him ( the $2000 , cash to fly him to show ,hotel , drink money ) and I will get rid of him for you

I cant guarantee he will still be breathing ,but he will be off your back

let me know

Rick Latona (02:27 PM) :
i won't resolve it at 10k
Rick Latona (02:28 PM) :
you won't take something reasonable and now i don't think you'd even be cool if i did give you money
Rick Latona (02:28 PM) :
i've never come accross someone with so little tact
Alien (02:28 PM) :
Dude. I wont settle for 10K its beynd that.
Ya shown ya true colors to me. The time has passed for any of it.
Alien (02:28 PM) :
I do not wanna see 10K in my bank.
I wanna see you go out.
Rick Latona (02:29 PM) :
so that's it, eh? all out war against me. that's what you want?
Alien (02:30 PM) :
I wont be the one that does it.
I can tell ya that much. It will be you.
Alien (02:30 PM) :
Ya had a chance to look like a glden boy and the time has passed.
Ya could have given me 10K regardless of the contest being shut down for what was done.
Alien (02:31 PM) :
Ya opted to stay dwn and low key.
Ya never had any remorse in the fact that people crushed on me and called me an idiot.
Alien (02:32 PM) :
Ya know what I am saying is true.
You will slip.
And it wont be my fault.

Rick Latona (02:48 PM) :
i'm half tempted to go to war with you. i could get you banned again (not that i did it the first time). i could even take your website down so no one could get to it by putting your URL as an image preload in my header and throwing a few million page calls an hour at it. i don't want to do any of those things. i'd rather send you money and sit down and get you drunk at the next trade show so we can learn to laugh about this. bro, you have to pick the time and place to do battles. you can't just stir shit all the time. shouldn't we be helping each other out rather than trying to cause pain?
Alien (02:52 PM) :
Don't call me bro and threaten me at the same time.
You really are a scumbag arent you?
Rick Latona (02:52 PM) :
you are just threating me and calling me names
Alien (02:53 PM) :
Ya go ahead and throw your million hits and sink my site. I will make sure Splitinfinirty tracks evety byte to file a suit on your ass you wont know what hit ya.
Alien (02:54 PM) :
Ya wanna play?
Rick Latona (02:54 PM) :
no
Rick Latona (02:54 PM) :
i want to get along
Alien (02:54 PM) :
Ya think I cant get attornies to fucken knock you out at this point?
Alien (02:55 PM) :
I am sorry your money aint even god enough...
Ya had the chance like I said. It wont be me that takes you down. It will be you pal...
Alien (02:56 PM) :
I am dne at this point.
I will enjoy watching you cry on the boards for some respect...
Much like myself.

I see your true clors...


I see your true colors...

Ya little faggot.

[LasseKongos]

Hmmm?


Let it be. People are dieing in Africa

[Shooting_Manic]

Rick, why in the hell would you ask gfy to ask advice or solve a problem? Looks like you are more interested in stiring the shit then you are getting it all resolved.

I figured you for someone older and wiser then this.

My bad.

[Michael O]

He is a troll he proved that more than once.
The rules of the contest were broken and the contest got cancelled it happens. He needs to grow up and take it like a man you didn´t cheat anyone or did anything wrong. You were generous and offered him compensation for his post whoring and he turned it down. It his problem and don´t think you need to fear anyone taking him seriously.
Maybe the real problem lies with you owning an outsourcing company and he feels he can´t compete with the work your guys deliver?

See what I mean? This guy turns down 2,000 dollars, a trip to a show and getting drunk and working it out.

[Juicy D. Links]

Rick you offer is more than reasonable, I dont see why he wouldnt take it.

[CDSmith]

Rick, if harranging and harrassing you is what it takes to get on your "It's on me" side then...... I guess I'll be a-staying home dammit. You're too damn nice for me to stalk.


Btw, I never did get that CJ shirt you were going to send me a few years back. You know, the ones you announced on the board here!!! I'ma bring you down bitch!!!!

[wdsguy]

Sounds like someone need to get over their grudges.

[TDF]

a lot of designers are nutjobes...the rest drink with me

HaHa. You are right! He is, however, jumping in and talking shit about me in every thread. I figured I'd let everyone know why so they don't make the wrong decision on a more important matter. I'd love to find a mature way to deal with this but I'm at wits end.

[SmokeyTheBear]

Ok well in my opinion..


This is one of those tricky ones that wont be fair to anyone either way.

But i think your offer of 2k is unreasonable after all a deal is a deal.

I would say you owe him 5k and in ADDITION you should have another contest for 5k and let him decide the rules and be the judge..


































BTW AlienQ i expect that um $1000 bonus to reach me soon cough cough hint hint LOL

Sounds like a good time to me. I don't see the problem. Hit me up lets get drunk.

[BradShaw]

Take the $2k, kiss, and make up. Trust me.

[Dalai lama]

Once the thread dropped to the second page the contest was over. I believe that were the rules, the page dropped to the 4th page. Basicly you dont owe him anything at all, even if he was the top poster. From what i've seen he's been ''hate-posting'' quite a few people lately, you are not alone Rick. I dont think he's after the money at all, he's a good and successful designer in this business. I think it's good from you to post a thread on GFY with the whole story, if he's ever unreasonable and trying to bash you, anyone can simply post the link to this thread.

Just my

Are you serious? Email me your address again. I'll send it for signature upon delivery so you can't keep holding this over me. ;)

[poorwebmaster]

The net is pretty anonymous, just don't let him know where you live.

Yeah, I agree... I dunno, seems he's been doing the "I know the truth about you" thing to a bunch of top webmasters in the industry lately.

It's funny, it's like he thinks that he's unravelled some great mystery that no one else knows... like the rest of us have never met these people

[TheSenator]

Send him some flowers with a note saying, "I spent 2000.00 last week on Ebay buying "mystery" items and all I got was a lousy gift certificate for flowers."

Truthfully Rick.... I dont think anyone cares except you and him. If he wont accept your offer then fuck him and move on. You have done your part. If he post in every single one of your threads..... who cares. Its not like you are a newbie and we dont know who you are.

Leave it alone and find something better to do with your time. Unless you think posting this crap is going to put money in your pocket.... NOT.

[NaughtyRob]

Alien. Settle dude.

I have been trying to get the idiot that stole Modelgig.com from me to settle with me, but he wont even negotiate. So, I will continue to keep mentioning it in every one of his threads. Settling is a good idea dude.

[polish_aristocrat]

ok, i remember it better now

so in my opinion it was kinda unfair towards Alien that the contest was closed and he got banned.... and back then I was feeling honestly sorry for him

but that was actually the first time i noticed him and then i read more of his posts and it seems like he also has some serious attitude problems, or whatever you'd like to call it....

[dready]

At this point I would just ignore him, some kid throwing a temper tantrum. You've tried to meet him way beyod half way and been more than decent about it.

Alien: fucking deal with it. Your bad attitude is not a good way to do business, and you're advertising it for all to see.

haha, thanks...... sent it to your ICQ.

[ytcracker]

shit like this isnt really worth fighting over

and that offer is more than reasonable for posting in a message board thread
people get paid a lot less

[AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE]

Figure out a way to do all that good without being a total dick and you're on to something.

[Sly]

You know Alien... you claim to be a man of "principal", but 95% of the time you just sound like a crazed Amp wannabe. Just a couple weeks back you were ranting and raving about outsourced designers are killing your business. Now you're fighting with the co-owner of iWebmasters about a matter that he is eager to resolve. Has it crossed your puny little mind even once how a good, working relationship with Rick could benefit your business?
