I've brought this old thread up a couple of times this past month, and the other day decided to search this dude out. He just so happens to be on facebook, and I think it's now time to get him back with a proper response.

You guys cracked me up last time with your responses, so I decided to put this again on all of you. Help me respond properly please...

Please note the date, as it's an all important part of my response.

Getta Load of this!

Guy is probably one FB post from suicide, I wouldn't bother taking it up publicly.

Send him a message asking him if he's still a complete a-hole or has he grown up enough to be ashamed for ever sending you this.

If he treats you like a dick send him the link to the thread you started and tell him you might reveal his identity, you might not, and only time will tell.

Suspend the Facebook sword of Damocles over his weeny little head and let him wonder if it will drop.

Or you could just let it go, because the guy is a dick.
 
From E-mail,
"Rick from TELL - remember the name TELL.
let me tell U, we are on the verge of hitting it big and U would never be called on with an attitude like yours, loser
keep playing those $50 gigs, we are going for the big time
"

Time did TELL that they are not famous.
I could not find them, just this band, Link Removed from Switzerland, and no Rick.

I have nothing cleaver.
Do not bother responding, he does not remember this.
If you seen him in person you could make a comment, but now you would be the A**.
Enjoy doing what you are doing, his work, or lack of means nothing to you.

C'mon, this guy is obviously a genius - picking drums to do songwriting - no wonder it took him 20 years. And, he managed to get an MBA without learning how to spell or express himself without liberal use of profanity (no offense to any liberals). He's probably just taking the time (hey, it's only been 15 years) to learn production and maybe some marketing before taking the music world by storm. Or maybe he's still searching for that "missing ingredient" in his music and still isn't willing to admit it's a decent bass player : )
