Welcome! :D

This all started with a bad review I put on my personal website after being ripped off by an underaged girl pretending to run a hosting "company". Waaay back on October 5, 2005, I said:

I've had a deliiightful experience [/sarcasm] with a host, and would like to share. I know most people research their hosts, so hopefully if this will come up in someone's google search and they can stay away from what I just dealt with :)
The host was chatiaya.net, run by Elyse Robinson, eyrobinson@comcast.net. This is not slander, and not insulting, it is the 100% truth and I will not edit this or remove names or details.

Timeline: I signed up my Erasure site and my fanlisting collective on chatiaya early this year. In May I ran out of space on the Erasure site, so I emailed asking if I could upgrade my plan. No answer. Asked again, no answer. I moved that site to a more competent host where I've had the best service EVER ever since.

I kept my fanlistings at chatiaya, plus I registered Dan's domain there around this time because it was cheap as hell and... well... I'm cheap. Dan noticed his site was down mid September. It happened sometimes, so I told his to wait it out. A few days later I found out it hadn't just been down, it was suspended and so was stargarden and chatiaya. I'm an optimist, so I decided to wait until October, maybe whoever's in charge is just having issues this month. Soooo... October 1, they're still gone. I write to chatiaya's owner's ISP email address asking if our sites will ever come back, and, of course, no answer. Today, I wrote again, saying the lack of answer didn't suprise me at all. I thanked her for teaching me a valuable lesson [to stay away from incompetent resellers]. Holy poo, I just got a reply! There is an actual person on the other end, at last!

She said hosting was too costly, so she just canceled. Without telling ANYONE or giving anyone the chance to back up their shit and move to a REAL host. She said she didn't send out an email when the sites went down because most people never get her email anyway. Niiiice. She blamed her not replying to my other emails on her host not always working. Funny how her host would affect her ISP address that I'd been writing to.

Anyway, I am LIVID right now over this. It's one thing to be a kid who doesn't know what they're doing. This is a woman in college [so she says] who could have warned us, but decided not to. So what if people didn't get some of your previous emails? That excuse is bullshit. Anyone with any morals at all would have sent a mass email and not cared if it bounced at some addresses.

So, right now, she's not "running" any hosting "companies", as far as I know. But if she ever does in the future, and you find this entry while researching her as a potential host, please take my advice and go somewhere else.

No big whoop. I got over it, moved my sites to Dreamhost, and I have regularly backed up my data ever since. ;)

In the two years after posting that entry, I received just a handful of hits directly to that entry, which were actually people using Google to try to find a reason why Chatiaya disapeared. I got one comment from someone thanking me for the information, because she'd lost her site because of Elyse, too. The comment was lost somewhere along the way, but it can be seen on archive.org's October '05 snapshot of my old page.

On March 3 2008, I got this completely random comment on a recent entry I'd written about having a bad day that turned good after seeing an older couple in love:

You should stop publishing dumb ass shit about your life on the Internet and go make you some money by publishing a book about your shit ass life instead. I’m sure someone would enjoy reading about your life just like you enjoy writing about it. Then perhaps you won’t feel as blue as you write.
Elaine | alwaystuumuch4u@yahoo.com | 98.208.49.59
Eh? I checked my referrals to see what could have prompted this and found her IP -- directed to the entry about chatiaya. Sigh, I knew this day would come eventually. I couldn't resist, I had to reply:
Hahahaha…… wait, what?
This wouldn’t happen to have something to do with something I wrote years ago about being ripped off by an incompetent woman masquerading as a host, would it? I couldn’t help but notice a few hits to that entry today by someone with an IP juuust like yours ;)
I recieved this email:
The comments you posted back on Oct. 3, 2005, entitled "Oh my god, this girl sucks."

Instead of saying "this girl sucks", you should have said "this host sucks". Don't insult the individual; insult the company. When you go into a retail store (e.g., Macy's or Target) and you have a negative experience with the store, you blast the name of the store. You don't seek out the owner's name and then blast the owner's name.

At the time my daughter formed this company, she was only 14 years old, nothing more than a child. She had no busy knowledge or savvy, nor any money to keep it going. If you were not happy with the host "chatiaya.net", you have a right to insult the company name, but you do not have the right to perersonally insult my daughter. I am deeply sorry you lost your information, but sometimes shit happens!!! A professional company takes business in stride and learns from the past. Do not destroy an individual's name, because of your own failures (you failed to back up your stuff).

Based on reading some of your other postings, it sound like you are a firecracker ready to burst. It seems like you have nothing better to do than to post complaints and insults. Type A personality who is on the road to high blood pressure and heart disease. You better lighten up soon or your will explode or better yet, you just might meet up with someone like yourself who will explode on YOU!!!.
B.A. Robinson | barobinson@comcast.net | 76.96.62.96

Then Elaine returned:
Someone directed my attention to your Web site to let me read how jacked up your life is. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make comments to unhappy people like you who have nothing better to do than just write dumb ass shit about bad things that happen to you in your life. Like your poppy day at work. Based on your statements, it seems you are the Incompetent Woman who is masquerading: You have your phone in your hand, but not your purse that usually hold Drivers License, Credit Cards, etc.

Your life seems to be so fucked up that you even take the time to check the IP’s of entries, and post entries about your own incompentency (You wouldn’t have lost your files with that host if you had backed up your files.)
Elaine | alwaystuumuch4u@yahoo.com | 98.208.49.59

After a good laugh [and after posting private entries about the situation at my livejournal and myspace blog], I replied:
Gosh, I wish my life was as awesome as yours must be :D Yeah, that’s all I do, sit around and write about all the bad stuff that happens to me. What gave it away? Was it all the smiley emoticons I use?

Masquerading as what, if I may ask? Not really sure what anything in this entry, or any entry I’ve written in the past 8 years, has to do with pretending to be something I’m not. You sure seem to think you have me all figured out after reading two things I wrote two years apart, though.

As for checking IPs? I spent three minutes looking at my tracker to see if I could find what might have prompted your little outburst up there, it really wasn’t that hard :) The issue that this is all about was over two years ago. I’m quite over it. I didn’t even lose anything, everything was saved on my computer in one form or another. I was more upset at losing my money, having my emails ignored, being lied to, having to research new hosts, and having to deal with getting everything back the way I wanted. Silly me, I thought I might have a right to get mad when I get ripped off by someone :)

My new stalker replies:
You are Masquerading as a happy, competent person, but your postings demonstrate that you are an unhappy & Incompetent person. A competent person would know their purse is more important to have in their hands when they leave work (cause it contains important documents: drivers license/ID, checkbook, credit cards, keys, etc.), but an Incompetent person thinks their cell phone is more important (probably cause they’re too busy running their mouth complaining about every little frustration that happens in their life to pay attention to what is important).

Also, a competent person would have saved their prior research just in case they needed to find a new host. Moreover, a competent person would not make their decisions based only on the cost. A competent person would consider the host’s experience and longevity of the company. How much money could you have lost on hosting fees $5/$10 at the most? Most people would MOVE on when their emails were ignored, but not you. That is how I know you have mental health issues. You try to brighten up your sad, incompetent life with smiley emoticons, but they aren’t helping you (cause you still just as frustrated as ever).

You haven’t MOVED on because you still have 2 years old postings on your Web site, and you are checking IP’s to see who is reading your old frustrations. If you were a happy person, you would have MOVED on without expending energy & time writing long messages about your own incompetencies.

SILLY, Incompetent YOU. You need to make an appointment with a mental health specialist SOON. You’re probably suffering from obesity or anorexia and you probably were a cutter as a youth (these conditions go along with the type of mental health issues you are demonstrating in your postings).

Elaine, Ph.D

Now she had me DYING of laughter [not to mention, those who were following along from Myspace and Livejournal]. Now she's a Ph.D and is diagnosing me with mental health issues -- keep in mind, at this point, she has only read TWO blog entries that I'd written, and they were two years apart. I replied:
Actually I have 8 years of stuff on my site… I must be worse than you thought :D God, I really envy you if you’ve never had a bad day or made a mistake. Really. Especially since having bad days and making mistakes = having mental issues. I never knew :D Like I said, you think you have me all figured out but seriously, hate to break it to you, you know absolutely nothing. Now you’re even trying to guess the contents of my bag, and that looks just a tad obsessive. You’re trying waaay too hard, Miss Ph.D. Thank you very much for all of your “insight”, but you’ve struck out at least ten times now.

You know what I think about mental health issues? You keep visiting and picking apart things I say, inventing little scenarios about my life based on two things I wrote two years apart, obsessing over a couple dumb mistakes I’ve made that I’ve since totally forgotten about — this is making you look a little crazy. I can see that right now as I write this, you’re going through older entries I’ve written, some as old as eight years. Are you having fun? If your life is sooo much greater than mine, don’t you have better things to do? Honestly, you’re starting to strike me as a tad psycho.

You’ve accomplished nothing in your visits here other than amusing me, but I think we’ve both had our fun. I think I’d now like to officially invite you to go run off and find someone else with supposed “mental health issues” to give your rude, unprofessional and uninvited “advice” to. If you need help finding someone, try just going to Google and searching for “blog” or “weblog”. You’ll find millions of people with “mental health issues” — at least according to your definition :D

A few days later I hadn't gotten any hits from her, so I left this comment:
For any number of reasons you haven’t been back since your journey through my archives and I have to be honest, I have really enjoyed your absence :happy: So if all went according to plan, your IP is banned from commenting. Hopefully. Hehe. So… thank you very much for all your opinions and “advice” :P … but now it’s time for us to part ways.

When I feel like it, I will deal with the entry that brought you here accordingly — but a bad review that I feel was deserved will never ever completely disappear :)

And I added the following to the end of the original Chatiaya entry:
Edit 2008 - I've since been harassed by various members of Ms Robinson's family, and I've learned that she really was just 14 years old when this happened. I have decided that if the harassment continues I might delete this, even though I promised I wouldn't -- but I guarantee the words I've said here will never ever totally go away. There's even a few additions that might have to be included in its next life. So go ahead, keep testing me if you think it's absolutely necessary. Just keep in mind that I "have* asked nicely for you to leave my site and give your unprofessional and unwelcomed "advice" to someone who might actually care what someone like you might have to say.
Daaaays later, I heard from her again [by the way, I never emailed her... by 'email', I think she meant the comments I'd last written]. This was left at my site:
Back again just to respond to your email. I knew you would be checking & waiting for me to respond, because I DO have you all figured out. You been blogging for 8 years, ever since you were a teenager, because you have mental health issues that started as a fat, overweight teenager.

Go back and read all of your 8 years of blogging and see all the “crazy” stuff you are saying. Basically, all your blogging is about your own incompentencies, disappointments, mistakes, etc.

If you have totally gotten over and forgotten about your past mistakes & disappointments, then why do you continue to blog (advertise) all of them? And why do you care what I have to say and take the time to respond to me and check & block IPs? It is because you are shouting for help!!!

Instead of getting professional help, you are doing just like the millions of sick teenagers who blog on MySpace & the Internet. Blogging is your way of trying to help yourself with your mental health issues. You also probably self-medicate (use illicit drugs) and abuse alcohol. Your parents should have took you to get help a long time ago, but since they didn’t and you are now an adult, you should consider looking into it. Insurance may be a problem for you because you are a low-income worker who didn’t go to college so you may not have any insurance. There are public health facilities for people like you.

I hope you “feel like it” soon and can get some professinal help for yourself to help build some self-esteem so you will not have to advertise all your disappointments & mistakes publicly for people to read and pass judgment on you. Writing in a private diary about your disappointments & failures would be more helpful for your mental health. Then you wouldn’t have to deal with negative comments, or check & block IPs, or feel judged, which only worsens your mental health issues.

I sincerely hope you seek professional help and deal with your mental health issues before you become suicidal or worse homicidal. Good Luck!!!

Homegirl got herself a new IP here, to get around my IP ban. It was also emailed to me, with this addition:
P.S. I was not trying to guess what you had in your bag. Common sense tells me that females carry those items in their bags/purses.
69.147.96.217
Right. Those few entries she had read when she went through my archives? I can't remember what they were, but I can only assume they were about funny conversations I've had, geeky musings about things I like, and fun times I've had with my friends and my husband. Because that's what I usually write about. I occasionally do write about things that make me sad, like 90% of those who maintain personal blogs or journals -- it's called catharsis, Elaine. Look it up.

I left her one last comment. It may be childish to always have to have the last word, but I though this really needed to be said:

You may want to consider rethinking this career as a profiler you seem to think you’re good at. Of all the things you’ve assumed about me, you’re about 3 for 60. Not very impressive :) I’ve read horoscopes with more accuracy.
So... that's the end of my lovely time with a wannabe profiler/ph.d/shrink named Elaine. Elaine Glove, I believe? Who, by the way, if her Yahoo profile is correct, is 33, lives in Sacramento, wants to be rich, and is partial to the quote, "nigga please!" -- now that's class!

The original entry has been gone for a while, but as promised, it hasn't disapeared, and it never will :) And neither will the rest of the information here that you so freely supplied me with, either. Shouldn't have tested me, Elaine! Heh. Ms Robinson, after all this time, I may have considered just deleting what I said before. I was honestly so over it. But sending this crazy woman to attack me out of nowhere, and having your mother email me to blame *me* for any anger I had when *you* had chosen to pull the plug with no warning... that was really not the way to go about it. I don't have to do anything with what I've written. I posted a bad review of some bad service I received. The bad service could have been prevented if you had taken just a little effort and done the right thing. If you can't take it, maybe you're not the type of person who can handle running a business. Did you have to change the name you go by online because of my entry? Please don't send any more of your crazy family members or friends to try to insult me or I might have to update this with your FULL name, including what the "Y" in "ryrobinson", because, with very little effort, I have found your new business venture [supposedly pronounced "easily", hehe]. Be sure not to screw any of your new clients over; as you know, disgruntled former clients can be a real pain, can't they? :) I wish you luck.
