send them anonymous hostile messages
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=520237572

Q) Does he have any other Web sites?
A) Here's a partial list in no particular order
http://members.tripod.com/~alerts/
http://members.tripod.com/~shimadzu/

and in late 1994 and early 1995 he picketed Ryland Homes with a sign reading "I bought a lemon.
You could too" (see the Baltimore Sun March 30, April 4, and June 11, 1995). He claims to have
been
awarded a $300,000 by Ryland:

He also hates Composite Rotor
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=443715378
where he may have been a sales rep
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=469243884
Erie Insurance
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=450483942
Ameritrade
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=424913567
and let's not forget the City of Baltimore
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=523040200
Q) Why does he hate Baltimore?
A) Rumor has it that his brother Douglas parted ways with his Baltimore Convention Center job
under
less than ideal circumstances.
http://www.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=490313605
Q) What e-mail addresses does he use?
A) Many. Don't even try to keep track. He usually posts from the Enoch-Pratt Free Library in
Baltimore,
but lately he has been using an anonymous remailer. He's not easy to miss even when posting
anonymously (so why bother, Mark?). Just search deja.com for "shimadzu" or "baltimore convention"
and there he be.
Q) If you object to him posting anonymously, why are you doing it?
A) Who said we objected to anonymous posts? We object to his tactics.
Q) So what should I do about Mark Kukucka?
A) The best thing to do is nothing. Ignore him and eventually he'll get bored and go away. If you do
challenge him, expect that he will put you on his "enemies" list, post any personal information that
he
can dig up, send you anonymous e-mail and maybe even create a web page just for you. He's
generally harmless, but unless you are up for that sort of contest just leave him be.

That's the second time I've seen this comment, and I can't
access the link. Maybe it's my lame newsreader, or maybe it's
just gone.
I like amusing stuff. It's very frustrating to hear about
some and not be able to access it. Could you post it?

No problem!

"Projection is a throwing forward. It is the process of throwing
out upon another the ideas or impulses that belong to oneself.
The paranoid, for example, projects upon others his conflicts
and disturbances in order to externalize them. He accuses,
directly or by implication, other men of having the very
sicknesses with which he is struggling himself."
Wanted to tell you that my dad kurt schmoke is really smokin this
city with his unlawful activities! Be fleet be fleet, cool and
discreet, honey... For many years, I (Peggy Daidakis), Ed Tildon,
and others have illegally and immorally ruined the Baltimore
Convention Center with self-satisfying behavior for instant
immediate sexual gratification as well as many other activities!
All reet! All reet! And yes, our readers are amazed that someone
of Mr. Adams stature would blatantly and willfully backstab so
many co-workers in the Shimadzu family, but go figure.... he did!
Its accomplished fingers writhed in a private rhumba of their
own. Our sales rep was the only person who seemed to care. (He
later became a little disturbed; was fired by Shimadzu and somehow
managed to set the Shimadzu travel van on fire intentionally -
but that's another story!)
And the temperature in the Baltimore libraries stays at 298
Kukookily Kelvins. All reet!

Kukucka admits he was fired from Shimadzu and he "torched" the company's travel van!
