In the shadow of staggering assholes

FOR THE RECORD: I say "Some DUer" in the post below because he introduced himself on the phone with a DU screen name. I will not repeat it; I don't know if this person is a banned former member or what, but regardless, I am not going to make Captain Ass any more famous. Don't ask who it was, either in this thread or via PM. I will not say. Sufficed to say, the following did happen, and the person was a present or former DUer.
===
Y'all maybe saw the essay I put up here yesterday, about my conversation with the bouncer at my bar:
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/122905A.shtml
Well, some folks in the thread I put up on this doubted that it was true. That's fine. I laid a challenge on the table: Ten thousand dollars says anyone can come to Boston, meet this guy, and hear from him that what I wrote was true. If I lied, I pay. If I spoke true, they pay. Strangely, no one took me up on it. Go figure.
Well.
Today, apparently, some DUer who doesn't much like me decided to go a different route. I didn't name the bar I go to in the piece, but this DUer knew which one it was. That means, probably, that he came to Boston for the DNC and I took him into the bosom of my hospitality, brought him to my bar, bought him beers, etc.
This DUer called Ty AT WORK to pester him about the substance of the essay. Demanded to read the essay to him on the phone, so he could ask if the quotes were accurate. Demanded and demanded and demanded, as if he had a right to fuck with this guy at work.
Ever have a random stranger call you at work?
Add to that the rules of this place of work: Personal calls are for emergency use only. So my boy winds up getting talked to by his two bosses because this DUer called and pushed, and pushed, and pushed, to talk to Ty.
Why?
Because this DUer fancies himself a writer in his own right. But rather than carve out a place for himself the hard way like I did through hard work, dilligence, truth-telling and the development of sources over ten years, this DUer wanted to take a shortcut. He called Ty to try to get him to say I lied in my story.
In other words, this DUer tried to crawl up over my back, tried to get immediately famous by "exposing" me. That way, he could write about it and make a splash.
Too bad for him, though, that the story was true. Ty had his number from the earlier call, and I called this asshat back, and handed the phone to Ty. Ty said, "Every word Will wrote was truth. He quoted me exactly. I don't need motherfuckers calling me at work. Fuck off."
Now here's the funny part.
I got back on the phone with this poor excuse for a poop, and he tries to grill me on ANSWER, tries to grill me on impeachment, tries to pry a story out of his failed attempt to fuck with my friend. After I finished yelling at him, he said, "Well, I have a lot of good material now." It was pathetic.
But not as pathetic as when he said, "So, will you do a podcast for me?"
I told him to fuck himself. Loudly, colorfully, offering both directions and a map.
Morals:
1. I don't lie in my essays;
2. If you have questions, I am not hard to find;
3. Don't fuck with my friends;
4. Don't try to crawl over my back to make yourself famous. Put the work in;
5. Ty wants to eat this guy's liver; he genuienly wants to do violence to this person, so fucking with Ty is a bad idea;
6. Don't beg for a podcast after making an asshole out of yourself.
Final moral: We are all in this together, but some think this is all a big paycheck. This guy wanted to do damage to me in order to better his own pathetic state of affairs, and had no hesitation to fuck with a friend of mine he had never met in order to do so.
In other words, some pigs think they are more equal than others.
Anyway, this was my night. Fun, eh?
Anyone who thinks being well-known (for me, even minorly well-known) is a good thing needs a beating. I can't write a personal essay without the people involved getting messed with.
Awesome.
Assholes everywhere."
It is funny though how PJ got under his (thin) skin.
HAHAHAHAHA
He can remember an entire conversation but can't remember who he talked to correctly, and DON'T YOU DARE ASK OR PM him for the name!!!! Lmao
Anyway, it sounds like you asked him for a podcast. lmao. And again he ends it talking about Ty being a liver eating rube of sorts. I would send that post to him too.

28. We have his number
I just don't want this thread to get locked for a) calling someone out, or b) talking about a banned member.
Looky here - starting to throw out those subtle empty threats. Heck, Will's daddy is losing power in Alabama so he can't go running to him to beat up these mean people that called him a liar.
