I guess one thing VTC was good at producing was insane, paranoid idiots. Case in point: Paul Caldwell, tuteur extraordinaire (yep, the same guy who brought golf clubs to a listening class and ranted about nothing but golf for nearly an hour).
What happened today was that I was contacted by a former VTC tutor with regard to information I might be able to help with. Soon enough, I have received a very interesting missive from Mr. Caldwell, stating (regarding one of the staff members who was fucked as gently - with the proverbial chainsaw - as the rest of the tutors and students):
Michelle is not being treated as an enemy but we know she lied; you expect me to believe she had no idea how much money was in the bank account, that's ridiculous. Dude, if she was out that much money she would have left MONTHS [sic] ago!Say what?! Oh, and then there was this little doozie:
Either you are lying, Michael, or you are being lied to. One way or another we will find Branden and we will serve him our claim. [...] If you don't want to 'fess up and give us Branden's address then we can add YOUR name to the claim too, also Michelle's.Charming. After a few calls to the police and quite a high volume of hate [e-]mail, I finally got the following:We're not going to quit. If the law won't help us then I will track Branden and anyone who protected him and I will fucking paralyze them! You've got 'til Friday, or I give your name to the police.
Okay then, I probably did go too far with that threat. It was an empty one after all, the law will help us, I think we learned that today. [...] Look how Mike's trying to play me now; I'm not afraid of him, he wouldn't notify the police after threatening my life [...]Yeah. Apology accepted, eh? (Try to use a few more conjunctions, eh, Paul?) Let me say it here again, for the record: I will not let myself be punched one more time in my life, you motherfucker. Well, that's all, folks. As Ambrose Bierce tells us, "the road to hell is paved with good Samaritans." Dixi.
Crazy shit. Respect.
Yep. This is the kind of shit I have to put up with every day. How's your ESL career?
Not too well. Low interest. I hope somebody discovers some major vunerability in WPA soon.
Keep trying, buddy!
As for WPA, a man can hope, eh?
