CONTACT: I harass Melody until she logs off.

I was bored today, I didn't have much to do. Someone mentioned that Melody was online. Being an OE member, not very many people trust me. I also hate Melody, and soon I realized that a fine opportunity was before me.

Note that during this, Melody got a bunch of people to badger me while I was crafting my brilliant replies. Also note Melody's complete unwillingness to engage in a philosophical debate! I hate her even more now.


Quote:
09:41PM ljoyce: Hi, Melody!
09:42PM mheller: Hi be right with you
09:50PM mheller: OK, hello Mr. Joyce, how are you tonight!
09:50PM ljoyce: I am very fine, and you?
09:50PM mheller: I'm doing well. All locked in for the night
09:51PM ljoyce: Hey Melody, what do you tell a woman with two black eyes?
09:51PM ljoyce: Nothing you haven't already told her twice.
09:51PM mheller: <cough>
09:54PM mheller: I'm hav9ing a hard time deciding how you mean that comment Mr. Joyce, care to elaborate?
09:55PM ljoyce: You know who else was having a hard time? Jude.
09:55PM mheller: Mr. Joyce, I fail to see the point you are trying to make
09:56PM ljoyce: Although I admit the context was quite a bit different.
09:56PM ljoyce: Let's not be so formal, Melody. Don't call me "Mr. Joyce." Call me "Danger."
09:57PM mheller: Are you threatening me Mr. Joyce?
09:57PM ljoyce: Of course not. In fact, don't call me "Danger." Call me "Cupcake."
09:57PM mheller: Maybe I would prefer to call a cop.
09:58PM ljoyce: Please. The authorities are so..messy. Can't we keep this between ourselves?
09:58PM ljoyce: We used to be close, Melody.
09:59PM ljoyce: I remember following you around while you strolled through the park..
09:59PM mheller: When were we ever close Mr. Joyce?
09:59PM mheller: Which park?\
09:59PM ljoyce: Let's not play games, Melody.
09:59PM mheller: I think you are playing enough for both of us
10:00PM ljoyce: I don't play, it is against my religion.
10:00PM ljoyce: That religion being Discordianism.
10:00PM mheller: Discord Mr. Joyce is a matter of opinion
10:01PM ljoyce: Why do you continue to insist on calling me "Mr. Joyce?"
10:01PM mheller: LJoyce
10:01PM ljoyce: I have a compromise. Perhaps "Pretzel" would be to your liking.
10:01PM mheller: Mrs. Joyce then
10:02PM ljoyce: No, Mr. Joyce is more accurate, but as I said I would like this to be less formal.
10:02PM ljoyce: Melody, my only request is that you touch me where I pee.
10:03PM mheller: You are a nut case and a jerk
10:03PM ljoyce: What did I ever do to you?
10:05PM mheller: your comment of a minute ago offensive
10:05PM ljoyce: That brings up a number of philosophical questions.
10:05PM ljoyce: Is the comment itself offensive, or do you place the value "offensive" to it?
10:06PM mheller: I find it offensive
10:06PM ljoyce: Then you agree that the comment itself has no inherent value of offensiveness?
10:06PM mheller: and request that you refrain from similar comments to me
10:07PM ljoyce: But you just said that YOU placed the value "offensive" on it.
10:07PM ljoyce: The solution is much more simple.
10:07PM ljoyce: If you merely don't find it offensive, it will not be offensive.
10:08PM ljoyce: You must agree with this logical conclusion.
10:10PM mheller: No I find that you are a weird stalker and will be reported to the police
10:10PM ljoyce: That leads us to yet more philosophical questions.
10:10PM ljoyce: From where does authority derive?

I happened to be talking to Melody when MOs was there

This is the log from Melody:
11:00PM mheller: Rose, I think I am being threatened!
11:00PM roseaware: by whom?
11:00PM mheller: LJoyce11:00PM roseaware: Mos?
11:01PM roseaware: what happened?
11:01PM mheller: Melody, my only request is that you touch me where I pee..
11:01PM roseaware: what?
11:02PM mheller: That is what he just said to me!
11:02PM mheller: ICK!

11:03PM mheller: Rose help!
11:03PM roseaware: when did he say that?
11:03PM roseaware: ok
11:03PM mheller: about a minute ago
11:04PM roseaware: one sec I'll talk to him
11:05PM roseaware: just close the connection and block him
11:05PM roseaware: now


My conversation with Mos
11:04PM ljoyce: Yes?
11:04PM roseaware: Did you bother Melody?
11:04PM ljoyce: I'm still bothering her.
11:04PM roseaware: She's upset
11:04PM roseaware: stop it
11:04PM ljoyce: She'll get over it.
11:04PM roseaware: what did you say to her?
11:05PM ljoyce: I'll be posting a log later.
11:06PM roseaware: she won't give over it
11:06PM roseaware: she's upset
11:06PM ljoyce: Like anyone cares.
11:06PM roseaware: sorry get over it
11:06PM roseaware: I care
11:07PM ljoyce: But nobody cares what you think either.
11:07PM roseaware: that is not true

I also suggested that driz talk to Melody,

Melody PM ed me at the IU board and gave me the log that Mos posted here with this introduction.

Quote:
Rose this is the conversation I had with Mr. Joyce. I feel so violated. Some of his comments are very very offensive.

This makes me wish I was on IM and had a chance to badger Jude for sleeping with that slut......

I sure hope Rose doesn't take Mos seriously (and we can all still be friends when this game is over).

Ickyness aside is there something hidden here? Apart from the obvious answer, what is the obsession with the word offensive. In the log it appears 8 times and Melody uses it again in her comment to rose. For information the words that appear in quotes are,

"Mr. Joyce."
"Danger."
"Danger." (again)
"Cupcake."
"Mr. Joyce?" (again)
"Pretzel"
"offensive"
"offensive" (again)

Any thoughts?
[Personal Spec] This was a staged exchange between Mos and Melody used to pass on a message from Alicia.

I deleted what I posted as I don't feel it contributes anything positive to the game. Let's just say I think that if this was a "staged" message the character doesn't need to pull another player into the conversation. And the player interacting with the character doesn't need to be rude to the player the character asks for help.

Also, just in case it isn't obvious, I don't think jokes about battered women, stalking or "touching me where I pee" are ever appropriate.

Maybe you did take that conversation just a little too far?

If this is the same Mos as the one in LJ a couple of years back, it's Mos being Mos. It's part of his charm.

Of all the possible replies to this thread, I expected this one the least.

You're all reading this wrong.

He's inviting her to hack into some files.

Touching where "IP" - right?

Follow his IP address back to a kloo?

Right?

Anyone?

Bueller?

Lol, if only this were true. But let's face it, this is just Mos when he's REALLY bored. And on a side note, the chat I had with Melody last night was excruciating. Why flat out invite people into the chat room (she posted on IU wondering why no one was in there), if you intend to say practically nothing. It was like pulling teeth just to get basic conversation out of her, much less anything useful.

PM from Melody
Quote:
Well, he's no longer an ideltech employee, so I can't have the guys deal with him for harrassment. I could report him to both Hotmail and to his ISP, which will only send him to another ISP and e-mail service. The police wont do anything about it until he shows up on my doorstep and does either property damage or hurts me... so what option does that leave me with? Getting a gun to protect myself just in case? Is this what the world is coming to?

Ok, even if she is a fictional character (one prone to overreaction often I might add) this is just so silly. He never threatened her. He made really bad jokes and inappropriate advances. Hardly a matter for the police. She should've just given him an ascii finger and be done with it. I think whoever is 'playing' Melody needs to giver her a touch less naivete. Heck I've had real people online say a lot worse in IM's. Smile
