Any harrassing emails from Tom Brosseau...?
Larry Pattis
direct requests for him to cease and desist.
I have begun a dialogue with his ISP, and I am wondering if Tom has
been harrassing anyone else on RMMGA?
It might be amusing, although i get enough unwanted spam on a daily
basis....plus I don't need the refereneces to my recently deceased
father....

I asked him politely to not email me. I did the same several months
ago, and there has been some respite. Today, however, there were a
few, and all designed to hurt or irritate me in some way.
Headers of "Could this be your dad?" are particularly unwelcomed, since
we buried my father in July.
All I want is for him to be a man, and to realize that his presence in
my email box is unwanted. One would think that he would be capable of
this....

Is he sending you emails consecutively, or is he hitting reply when you
respond? If the former, he's harassing you if you've asked him to stop. If
the latter, you need to stop if you expect him to.
Yes, I received an email from Tom a few days ago. We corresponded briefly
and disagreed. When he sent the last email, I didn't respond (nothing
offensive in it, there just wasn't anything else to say). I've not heard
back from him...it was no big deal, and certainly not harassment.
I'm sorry about the references to your father...I haven't seen what was
written, so can't pass any judgment on whether it was meant to hurt. If so,
that's unconscionable.

Larry, Mike
I have also received unsolicitted emails from Tom Brosseau, usually
about Bush or some irritating political crap. I have bounced his email
addresss from my inbox and haven';t received another in the past days
since his last "missive". He's obviously on a tear to anger as many
people as he can. I have simply stopped responding but I understand
the hurtful nature of his posts to you, Larry. My condolences for your

Tom is not a danger to me, I just wanted him to stop sending malicious
emails...especially when he commented about using multiple email
accounts to do so.
He is also not a stranger to me, since I had helped him (about a year
ago, or so...) with some knowledge about certain high-end luthiers.
Long story....
Bottom line is that he has stopped emailing.
That's all I want.

Well, you rightfully urged some caution yourself earlier Steve, citing
possible mental problems... but all kinds of things come into this -
including life, health, work and marriage problems - and just combined
stress of course.
Damn it, if we don't ALL get a taste of that shit at some time in our lives.
Let's hope that's an end to it for now.
What is even more sad... if such possibilities above are the case...? is
that this place can be and usually is such a broadly welcoming and
supportive environment for people with all kinds of problems or going
through life's dreadful traumas.
Why else would a guy who's lost his beloved daughter in a auto accident post
through tear-filled eyes in here within a few hours of her death? ...or
yourself - or others like you - when you posted about your father's sudden
death only a few weeks back??
I don't know how many countless times I've seen it and felt it here...
despite any political or religious differences we may have, this cyberspace
is a place of great genuine sympathy, support and friendship. Long may it
last.

I know that the 13th fret forum had similar problems with this fellow
sometime last year. This is not new behavior. If I am not mistaken one
of the members of that forum has met Tom and may have his street
address. If you decide to take this to the police I suggest you head
over there and ask around.

Heck, I think this was the funniest thing:
"Brosseau refused the Dallas Observer 's repeated requests for an
interview, but has told the The Dallas Morning News and McKinney
Courier-Gazette at different times that the landfill would be full in
12 to 15 years, 10 to 15 years, or five to seven years. "
They can come here and interview Tom, or at least get some insight into
his real character....

Good question. At one point in his 13th fret sojurn Tom decided to get
another on-line personality involved in some discussion without
informing the forum of his schizoid break. The moderator discovered
the ploy by comparing ISP adresses (I believe). Everybody had a good
laugh-not WITH Tom, but AT him ;).

This is an interesting bit for some of us who've observed Tom in action
over the years here, and also on the 13th Fret.
We all knew he could "talk trash" with the best of 'em... seems like he

This is revealing FWIW. I suspect another possible way to deal with any
more stupid pestering e-mail behaviour has now emerged. Whatever dirt he
crawls around in to make himself rich is another thing entirely.
I hold the opposite views to his in every respect. He has insisted on
taunting people here by posting any third-hand hack racist, fascist garbage
he comes across again and again for ages now. I stopped posting here or
even lurking for a while, because of it. The guy is a total arsehole with a
head full of really hateful shite IMO.
When people here have asked him to stop he has ignored them. When they have
responded to his trolling posts in an intelligent manner, he's invariably
shown downright rudeness, unnecessary personal abuse and sometimes nasty but
sometimes almost childish stuff.
In real life, he'd likely have been hospitalised several times for what he's
said to many folk in here. Personally, I think he's a few cards short of a
full deck - whatever. I'd be happy if he just fucked off for good.

My blunder. When I checked the thread (Andy Rooney) it was George W,
whoever that is. It went like this but Dorgan is right, water under
the bridge.
I wrote:
"It is my most fervent hope never to have to meet you in person. A
conversation about anything but all the stupid stuff you have posted
here would be impossible.
When will you stop painting a bullseye on your chest and just try to
learn to be a better person? Why would you ever have considered
posting the fake Rooney diatribe, even if you did think it was real??
When will you recoginze the enormous bad judgement that you continue
to demonstrate in your posts all of which have nothing to do with
music?? I know you will never respond to these questions, reasonable
though they are.
I am perceiving a newly recognized clinical disorder which I propose
to be called inappropriate need for internet persecution. Oh, well, it
will probably just fall under the category of sociopath."
George W responded:
"OK, too much.....
I don't recall ever agreeing with anything Tom has posted but anyone
who thinks he's the worst thing to happen to Usenet needs to get out
more. He's certainly guilty of button-pushing but he's not the only
one. And, unlike some people, the guy can take a punch. I don't defend
the stuff he posts, especially the phony Andy Rooney crap, but in the
context of Usenet it doesn't amount to much.

You then agreed:
"True.

Hans...Tom only has as much power as you give him. I don't give a shit
whether he's run out of town or not, since I'm free to ignore him if I don't
like what he has to say.
It's Usenet. We have no control over who posts here or what they say.
There is nothing you can do to "run" ANYone off here, unless they are being
truly threatening or causing harm in some way. Disagreeing with their
politics and throwing yourself into apoplexy over your disapproval of their
lifestyle doesn't qualify.
If you can't handle that simple fact, you might be a happier person if you
avoid Usenet altogether. George was right...Tom isn't even in the same
league as the "worst" of Usenet.
Please stop assuming that you speak for anyone other than yourself when you
say things like "Just sorry that it has taken this long to collect opinions
that Tom should be run out of town."
Frankly, I find you at least as irritating as he is...and I'm pretty fucking
sick of your habit of speaking for me.

I'm George W, Hans. Whoever you are. Pleased to meet you.
I stand by what I said, and I have no problem being rightly "accused"
by you for saying it. It was a comment on the latest Brosseau
Brouhaha, or more specifically the continued responses to it by people
who presumably know better. Tom himself bowed out very early after
laying out the bait. I'm sure he's having a good laugh over it.
Actually I find posts by Brosseau and Polemus a lot easier to laugh
off than some of the embarrassing self-righteous nonsense posted by
folks on my side of the fence who presume to speak for me or anyone
else on the left. This would include comments like, oh I don't know,
calling someone on the right a sociopath who should be run out of
town. That kind of thing.

Feel free, Bob. <g> Sorry about the mini-rant. Being referred to as
"whoever that is" kinda pushes my buttons, suggesting that the value
of a persons opinion is measured by whether he knows the secret RMMGA
handshake or not. I think I may be a little cranky lately since I
dropped off my new Ultrasound to Doc a few weeks ago and haven't heard
anything yet. <g> With the holidays and NAMM it wasn't the best

Hey, you've got my email.
I gigged last night and it occurred to me that if any of you good
people watched my load-out you'd have been absolutely horrified. I
unplug everything and set the big stuff and stands out of the way
leaving all the cables on the floor. Then I just pull those all
together in a big wad and stuff it in the bag. It takes 10 seconds.
I'm untangling all the spaghetti right now, aamof. Definitely the
work of a pinhead.

Yeah, all very interesting, Mike. You have and continue to pay undue
"attention" to my posts while ignoring those of Tom. Interesting to
speculate on the criteria you use in choosing the posters you hold in
the highest on contempt. You have always held me in the highest of
contempt. Not a problem for me.

Here's the double standard, Mike: it's usenet so anybody can post
anything they like, but I'm Hans so I should shut up. Gee, Mike all I
was doing is expressing my opinion about the opinions I didn;t agree
with. But you have always had a problem with my posts as I have with
Tom's so it's even harder to take you seriously. I don;t guess that
was your intetnion anyway.

I don;t speak for you or anyone but myself. I was commenting on the
fact that many people had an opinion about Tom;'s posts. I hav never
spoken for others but I guess I would ask you to stop putting words in
my mouth.

Agreed: You are pretty fucking sick. You seem to be "throwing yourself
into apoplexy" over my posts. Doesn't much matter to me. I have never
spoken for you much as you seem to keep fantasizing about this. Don't
go "throwing yourself into apoplexy" over it. We don;t have anything
to say to each other. I won't be missing our conversations.

Hans, for a guy who claims to be a man of high intelligence and
character, you sure come across like an idiot. You take the bait,
hook, line, sinker, reel and rod every time and if you could jump up
into the boat and beg to be scaled, gutted and pan-fried on the spot,
you probably would. After all the negative reaction you have received
from many participants in this group, you continue to play Net Nanny
and hector everyone who doesn't agree with you and act all huffy and
superior. At least TB has some wit and can hold up his end of a
conversation. (And no, I don't like his flavor of arrogance, either.)
Jeeze, give it a rest...
Hans, it seems to me that you couldn't buy a fucking clue if you were
standing, surrounded by six of their top-performing clue salespeople,
in the middle of the high-end clue department of Clues R Us, waving an
unlimited Platinum credit card and a stack of Clues R Us gift
certificates.
What are you gonna do now, send me some unwelcome harassing emails?

LOL. Nothing like that, but it was pretty late. There were only a
few regulars and the staff around at 2a so I took the opportunity to
run some siong ideas buy 'em. A verse and a chorus and then
"waddyatink? . . . think that one would fly here? . . . would that go
over? . . .etc. etc." Very helpful few minutes as it turned out.
I need a srategy for building a crowd at this place since I'm not
gonna "draw" one. No following of my own, ya know, but I have an
open-ended deal for 2 Sat's per month so I can take the long view.
So far all I've done is:
1) I made a poster that they keep on the wall advertising my upcoming
date. (I figure if someone liked me there once and saw that then on
another visit then they might make plans to come back next time.
2) If someone asks me something I don't know I try to have it for
next time. I can't/won't catch 'em all but I've added several tunes
to the list that way --- lotsa good suggestions too..
3) I always spend my break time going around and talking to people,
asking what they like, talking music, etc.
But that's all I've come up with so far.

Expand on the poster distribution...
This doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg...
Create the poster format on your computer ( I use a Canon Utility, but any
number of common softwares will do the job) and just get some good quality
poster paper and print them yourself.
Check out your local paper for an entertainment section and then tell the
venue owner how to go about getting your appearances listed. Sometimes it's
a small fee to get listed and other times it's a free service the papers
provide. If it's a fee service, convince the owner/manager that it's good
business to advertise.
Go the CD route... I've never done this, but I used to have some
compilation cassettes that were recorded at various gigs to hand out. I sold
them for the cost of the blank cassette.
I was surprised to see how well this worked.
Go get 'em.
You're good, you can make it happen.

If you look up "Andy's" recent posts in other forums besides RMMGA in the
Google archives, his main theme seems to be rabid anti-semitism, instead of
right-wing politics per se. So I'm wondering if that's actually TB, unless
he keeps a Usenet persona on the side, for the religious/ethnic hatred
posts.
There was enough scary shit in his anti-semetic posts to earn an immediate
PLONK for me, regardless of what he has to say about guitars.

I compared headers and it's pretty obvious that the Andy posts are
coming from the same machine that the Brosseau posts come from.
It's not as easy to be anonymous in usenet as people think -- as I
used to think, for that matter.
