I'm an idiot! Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I was emailed this morning and it was brought to my attention that someone under the names "Zion" and "Babylon" have been spamming my site all over this and other hookah forums. I wanted to come on here and personally apologize for the spam and any inconvience it casued. I do not in anyway condone spamming, it's the worst attempt at marketing I have ever seen. I know the person responsible, and I have contacted them about the situation so I hope they do not continue to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[quote] From: This sender is DomainKeys verified "Josh Range" <joshrange@gmail.com> Add sender to Contacts To: Adbliss@yahoo.com The person who was spamming works with me at my hotel, they were fired today for misuse of office equipment. Don't make false accusations and try to claim that I am the same person, we don't need a defamation suit on our hands now do we? I have no interest in being a member of your little forum, these tight-knight communites are what is killing the hookah culture in general. Have a super fantastic day.

Chreees Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 We're killing the hookah culture! We better start allowing spam, Mushy... We gotta save the hookah culture! I really doubt he fired those guys... Unless the guy is schizophrenic and fired his alter-personalities (I think it was the same guy each time). And what's this about a hotel? Thought he ran a hookah website... fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 he didnt necessarily say he OWNED the hotel. Lookit the wording.... Either way I'm going to pass word onto the other forums and see if we can't get his site banned from all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 ok, i love morons..... so here's some more emails. Atleast he got my name and age right.. [quote]From: This sender is DomainKeys verified "Josh Range" <joshrange@gmail.com> Add sender to Contacts To: "Adam Bliss" <adbliss@yahoo.com> Actually, it's not illegal. I am not his boss, and I never said I fired him. How about you improve your comprehension skills and try again. On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 7:06 PM, Adam Bliss <adbliss@yahoo.com> wrote: Oh yes, btw..to divulge the reason for a personnel decision, like a firing, CAN be considered illegal and the fired employees you mentioned CAN sue YOU for telling us why you fired them. Again, since i have their emails I'm sure they would like to see where you say they were fired for using company equipment. Didn't think about that im guessing. Again, no further contact.

[/quote] AAAND [quote]From: This sender is DomainKeys verified "Josh Range" <joshrange@gmail.com> Add sender to Contacts To: "Adam Bliss" <adbliss@yahoo.com> First off it was only one employee, and he was fired. You can email him all you want, it makes no difference to me, I really doubt some 18 year old kid is going to give you any information about me. Second, No one has been harassing you, don't try and make more false claims. You're acting delusional. I think it's a bit sad that you're acting so childish about the situation, instead of growing some balls and acting like an adult. I already apologized for the kids spam, and then you come back and start making false accusations, what are you getting out of this, does it make you feel better about yourself? Lastly, I only email from my cell phone. And I am sure he accessed your website from his cell phone as well, so good luck trying to track that considering mobile IP addresses don't give you any information. I would think twice before making threats against someone who obvioulsy has a lot more technical experience than yourself.

Disgruntled employees can be so vindictive. Remember I have their emails as part of their registration. In fact, Ill bet you sent these emails from work. I shall contact the former employees, then contact the hotel and say you have been harassing me from their computers. Heck, I can even send them copies of the emails. Employers hate being dragged into such things and employees are easy to find in the economy. This conversation is over. You do what you want, I'll do what I want. Kindly do not contact me further.
