Self-Portrait for Worse http://www.alansondheim.org/bctrip0591.jpg He puts up these stupid with some theory-sounding texts, as if that makes them interesting. He doesn't realize that no one takes facebook seriously for work and no one has the time to listen to his stuff day after day. He's aggressive and irritating; no one should be subjected to the deluge of emails he sends out. He acts as if he's the only artist or musician or writer or whatever he is in the world. He's spread too thin, he's not good at any of these things. He fills my mailbox with crap day after day. He's got the largest ego of anyone I know. For that matter, his music is out of tune, his theory is just nonsense as far as I can tell, and we've seen all of this before. I can't even sit still to watch his videos. He's driven to put up something daily, no matter how bad it is. If everyone did this, and we paid attention, we'd have no time for anything else. He thinks he's so smart. He thinks he's a genius. He uses all kinds of abstract words to cover up his inability to think anything new. No one under the age of thirty pays any attention to him, they know better. I don't know anyone who's read even one out of ten of his things. He's miserable in real life, demanding attention like a prima donna. He thinks other people have nothing better to do than to read him, if he really thinks of them at all. He gets defensive immediately if he thinks he's attacked. His work is far too neurotic to make any sense to anyone, I don't even think he reads it. He's just showing off with his music, anyone can play fast, but it takes real skill to do something interesting. He seems to have some sort of notion about virtuosity, that it ends with physical skill. His work has no soul, and it's so down that it seems to be more of a personal symptom than any real thought. He's always defensive, building walls around himself, full of self-pity. He can't get out of the hole he's dug for himself. He doesn't see the glass half-full, he doesn't even see the glass. I can't stand reading about misery day after day so I delete the stuff. Facebook isn't for confession and the miserable, it's for checking in on people, and seeing what they're doing. He pays no attention to the fact that people don't want to read anything negative, they have enough of that in real life. He just pushes his misery onto everyone, if you let him. He pollutes email lists just as much, at least you can delete him without looking at the stuff. I block him, I can't take it any more, he just won't stop. He expects me to pay maybe ten minutes to read his stuff, well there are thousands who ask for the same. I don't have time or energy to have his life barge into mine. He's the worst spammer on the net as far as I'm concerned. He's not selling anything I'd ever want to buy. He makes me really uncomfortable. I feel sorry for his friends but he's always crying he doesn't have any. I wish he'd crawl back into the hole he came from. He just brings me down. He must be a horror to anyone who knows him. I hear he's a real pest. He's a nuisance. I'll be happy when he finally goes away. I don't want him dead, I don't want anyone dead, but I'll be happy when his spew just stops. When I know I can't hear from him anymore. When his name doesn't pop up. I hope he just disappears. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
