Apology to Steve Howard plus explanation
Simon C.
I am currently genuinely worried. I am posting this as the last thing
I now want is to leave any doubt re Steve Howard. (It seems that
coincidences simply follow him around like crazy.) I am a foreigner in
the UK, btw.
This morning I had a really strange phone call that made clear that
"people" locally do seem to have it in for me. I do not know who these
"people" are but as it was my landlord's wife who told me this, I do
now know with certainty that it is not Steve Howard (the only Brit in
the UK I got to know somewhat). (He has at least been pulling little
jokes - I do presume they are innocent jokes? - with my site stats.
Please stop doing that. I can understand you must think I am a
complete nutcase, but I am genuinely worried. You're only making this
worse plus you're getting yourself into this picture this way and that
does not help either.)
There had been a message to call the landlord, so I called this
morning and his wife picked up and she instantly started fuming and
ranting at me out of the blue and said that "people are angry with
me". She scared me.
The only contact I have with locals is the occasional "Jeez, isn't it
cold today" or "Wonderful weather today!" to one or two neighbors and
that is IT. I had not spoken with the landlord and his wife for about
a year but they did just tell me that they had given off a positive
reference for me (which I didn't know about, incidentally).
I genuinely have NO CLUE what this is about and who is angry with me
and what more I can expect, but it does seriously freak me out.
For those of you who do not know, someone for instance spent 80 pounds
last month to place two online ads just to harass me (linked to my
postcode and mobile phone and no I am not imagining it). When I
discovered that one of my own credit cards had in fact been involved
(transaction was canceled, so officially "no theft"), it suddenly
became a lot less funny I filed a crime report (never mentioned SH as
no, I also had great trouble figuring him in such a role).
After that happened, I did a lot of crying as I consider myself a NICE
person and I genuinely do think that I am a NICE person and I had no
idea what I could have done to make someone hate me this much. I had,
however, sort of walked out on two of Steve's gigs and after thinking
about it, well, yeah, perhaps that could tick someone off so much that
they did something silly.
I later however concluded that it must have been a wacky neighbor but
as my landlord's wife seems to know that "people are angry with me", I
am doubting that now as well. (Then I got thrown out of SOTW yet the
only person who knew I was Simon C. was Steve Howard. I can understand
he must think I am a genuine nutcase... I really am not. I may be
typically perimenopausal but that is all.)
I am seeing the landlord this pm and willl try to get more answers
from him. (His wife had said something else as well but I am unable to
place that in the context so I will ask him and hopefully finally get
some answers.)
The only other person I know in the UK and now relatively well is a
Dutch woman in another town at some distance from here.
So: I seriously, honestly DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. I do not
know who I have ticked off and when and why and who this person is or
who these persons are who are "angry with me". I certainly must have
ticked my landlord off a few times but I can't see him doing this
either.
It genuinely freaks me out. I have lived in several countries and they
all have pluses and minuses but I have never encountered anything like
this before and it freaks me out. It really is freaking me out.

PS
Stop joking around with my site stats. Please. I can see that it is
kinda funny but after this morning's call, I should tell you that I
really do not think it is not a good idea.

Lady/Dude/Whatever,
I think you have proven yourself to be a complete fruit loop, and you
need to spend less time posting completely non relevant psycho babble,
and spend more time seeking professional help for your delusional
hangups.
Sheesh this board has hit rock bottom.
William Mason
Lady/Dude/Whatever,
I think you have proven yourself to be a complete fruit loop. You need
to spend far less time posting this non relevant psycho babble, and
more time seeking professional help for your delusional hangups.
Sheesh, this board has really hit rock bottom.
Simon C.
Well. I talked to them and it turns out it was "just something she
said but didn't mean anything by". Then why tell me that "people are
angry with me"? That sort of remark really scares me. I have never had
anyone in another country out of the blue rant and rave at me and tell
me that "people are angry with me". Always this vague anonymous and
therefore threatening "people". Never "I"or "he" or "she".
It seriously freaks me out.
I do not bother anyone, do not talk to anyone, I just put my money
into this country which I earn elsewhere.
Steve, please please please stop messing with my site stats. You've
been creeping me out. Stop it. Please. Stop doing any other things
you've been doing too. You're starting to scare the hell out of me if
you don't stop it now. Is that really what you want? If you are "kind
and considerate" and what not, as they say, you'll stop it, now. Or at
least explain what the hell you want with all this.
I now find all this stuff seriously creepy. Perhaps it is all just
"English humor", but I find it damn creepy and so do my friends; they
already thought it was creepy when I was still laughing about it.
I do not know WHAT to do anymore to make all this craziness go away.
It's killing my business, too.
It is NOT funny. It may seem funny to English people, but it is NOT
funny!

I am sorry. I am not a fruit loop, whatever that may be. I am
genuinely scared.
omeone's been messing with my life and I don't know who and why or
when it will stop. I want it to stop
It all started after I took my alto to Steve Howard.
If I was your sister or daughter, angry poster, would you also tell
her she is a fruit loop? When the woman stands crying on your
doorstep?
I want it to stop. Please.

The good thing about SOTW is that it has moderators who can stop posts
from loonies. Whilst it still has problems - too many posts/ opinions
swamp any the useful stuff, it is becoming a much better place to chat
saxophone.
When you see the people here that moan about it, it shows its worth.
What better place to go than one that has got rid of that lot?

What are site stats, and how are they being messed with?
Not disputing, only asking since I don't know about these things.
Stephen Howard
I'd like first to offer my apologies to the other readers of this
group for any inconvenience caused by recent events, and before I
address the comments below offer some small explanation as to the
events that led up to the present.
I feel it is sufficient to say that I accepted a repair job from
Angelina Souren ( aka SimonC, aka JJJ, aka...aka...you get the picture
) in good faith, but after being accused of a number of increasingly
bizarre and eventually serious misdeeds - and in spite of several
warnings - I felt it prudent and entirely justified to return the job
untouched, along with the cash deposit paid.
I also requested that this person never contact me again.
On the basis of the aforementioned correspondence I decided that the
best ( and most dignified ) course of action when 'SimonC' began
posting unfounded diatribes here was to ignore them.
I have been very touched by the response, both here and via
email/phone, from many people around the world who have offered their
support and advice.
Best regards.

You have been told many, many times that I have had nothing whatsoever
to do with any anomalies, real or imagined, on your site stats for

Your horn was sent back to you after you implied I had something to do
with the fraud on your credit card. You were warned your continuing
accusations would lead to this course of action.

Utterly ridiculous.

At the time you posted here as SimonC, you also had a sotw ID in the
same name ( as you subsequently admitted ). As some of the admin staff
from sotw read this forum and would have been drawn to your bizarre
posts, it would have been but a very simple matter to join the dots (
I myself was initially unaware of your identity here ).
As far as I am aware, having dual identities on such forums is only
likely to result in a warning. If you were thrown off it will have
been solely caused by your own actions and certainly not at the behest
of me.

It beggars belief that your post should be entitled 'An apology..' and
yet contain still more absurd and baseless accusations.
I have warned you more than once that your allegations could lead to
my taking legal action - and you have been told that you were not to
contact me in any way.
You have continued to send emails etc. in spite of this, and you have
persisted in making unfounded public accusations.
I have been patient enough - initially sympathetic to a degree - but
the cause of your malaise is most definitely nothing whatsoever to do
with me, and I will no longer tolerate this utter nonsense and these
wild accusations.
Since you seem comfortable with making the issue public, here is your
public, and most assuredly final, warning.
I recommend you read and digest it very, very carefully indeed.
If you ever contact me again in any way, shape or form - or publicly
state, imply or otherwise hint at any wrongdoing on my part, I WILL
ask you to substantiate the allegations you have made...not to me, but
to my legal representatives and the police.
I will not discuss the matter further.
