Just Wrote To Say I Never Think Of You
Michelle writes, “I’m not even sure where to start in explaining how crazy this guy is…
a) His name isn’t Larry
b) The date we went on was 2 or 3 years ago and ended on a rather negative note; I have not seen or heard from him since
c) I am a photographer, and any “tasteless ..sexual connotative photos” that I’ve taken are not of me (and I would argue that they are not tasteless!)
d) Did I mention the date was a long time ago?!”

Well, I must say I was fooled by you. A professional , highly cultured, highly intelligent male escorts a “lady” to the symphony, has a casual drink and is re-paid with ambivalence, cruelty, and disgust. No games please…you said. You are nothing but a gamester! I can clearly see why you are divorced. He was wise. By the way why the tasteless ..sexual connotative photos of yourself…feelings of inadequacy I assume. No Matter. You did not even have the intestinal fortitude to explain your actions. Pathetic.I have forgotten more than you could imagine. You have no idea …really no idea of who I am. I am sick of connecting up with Knoxvillian women who are BIZARRE. Are there no descent ladies left? Well the search continues. Grow up and learn what life if about. You made a comment about yourself at the Pub we visited…I should have listened. You know yourself somewhat at least. Why did you act that way. Your actions are not rationale. A single
Mother should above all people show kindness and be civil to others. That which is beautiful is not always good but that which is good is always beautiful. You should be close attention to those words and live life by them. Trust me I know. Now. it pains to say this, but I do not desire any form of reciprocal response to you in any modality of communication or from any objective parties. Obey this statement. I am very angry about this. Good luck in finding a significant other who can tolerate you.

Holy shit. This guy is a complete wacko. That’s all I can say.
No doubt he’s crazy. Someone please enlighten me, what’s a “Knoxvillian women”, please excuse my ignorance, just curious.
knoxvillian as in fort knox, where the government drones lock up tons of GOLD…. or knox gelitan… ooh or Nox, the Harry Potter spell that counters Lumos….
Wow! I’m pissed off reading it and I’m not Michelle. That guy is nuts, glad I never met him! “Obey this statement.” Really? Who says that?
@Robbie woman from Knoxville?
@Robbie
Your not the only one wondering what a “Knoxvillian women” is so don’t feel bad…
Also this dude is definitely scary, and not only that but sounds a bit scary also.
I wish I had a ‘descent lady’. They sound fun.
I’m with Larry, I can’t stand Knoxvillian gamesters either.
Also, I’m always trying to find descent women as well(I assume “descent” women are women who go down a lot).
I shudder to ask, but wth is Knoxvillian?
Did he get hooked on meth and you were the last bit of reality that he remembers?
I’m guessing a Knoxvillian woman is a woman who lives in Knoxville, TN.
@Robbie – I’m assuming gals from Knoxville, TN. But I’ve been to TN and I don’t doubt there could be more to that nickname.
maybe knoxvillian means women who, in the style of johnny knoxville, like to inflict pain on themselves through semi-masochistic acts like going out on dates with total nutjobs. maybe.
Any guy who calls himself a “professional , highly cultured, highly intelligent male” is a total douchebag (and, in this case, a crazy douchebag at that). Creepy win.
Also, I would like to see the alleged “tasteless … sexual connotative photos” myself
Maybe we can all vote on ‘em.
Obey my ramblings and anger.
“A copy of this email is being retained and copied for security purposes.” Is that coming from “Larry” or the new “home” he is living in now ?
‘intestinal fortitude’ LOL. Wow. This sounds like the guy I went on one date with who left me, I kid you not, 15 messages a day 4 days running filled with abuse because I said I didn’t think we clicked (and nicely, might I add. The date was fine but boring – he didn’t seem psycho at the time). I got another number, needless to say.
WOW.
maybe he was writing this to his latest escorting escapade, and accidentally sent it to Michelle. Maybe that explains the time lapse in the actual date and now.
epic crazy either way
@Nancy
Good call. The “home” might be prison even. I’m sure there are bars on the windows at least.
Holy cow! This is actually a bit frightening. I’d be saving a copy “for security purposes” as well, to use as evidence in the stalking trial.
“Obey this statement”. Best line ever!
Maybe he wants to date me. After all, I have some serious intestinal fortitude. I credit this to my regular consumption of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains.
OBEY THIS STATEMENT!
“I have forgotten more than you could imagine.” Oh really? I’m sure the drugs are helping that too. Nutter.
If you can picture the mostly-empty bottle of Jack Daniel’s sitting next to the keyboard as he typed, the letter makes a lot more sense.
(Sent at 02:40 on a Sunday morning, too. Was probably a weekend-long drinking binge…)
Three years later, really? He’s still bent after 2-3 years ago? This sounds recent.
I do have to say though.. “A single Mother should above all people show kindness and be civil to others.”
So if we’re not single, and we’re a mother, we can be a RAVING beyotch if we so see fit?
Not so smooth, really, thinking taking a single mother on a date is a GIFT and she should be oh-so-grateful.
Huh? Did he send this email to the wrong person maybe? I like to think that this was meant for someone else.
@Phalange
BAHAHA! Indeed, that is what they are. Now what is a rationale woman? Does she rationalize everything?
@Olga Goldfarb
Nah. You may give him too much shit.
“You have no idea …really no idea of who I am.” And neither do I. I think my name is Larry but people on the street have been calling me Bob, Joe, Ralph, Simon, Rich and Tony.
You have to go down to find descent ladies!
@eggomania
You should post them! They would do well on this site!
I think that the part I find most disturbing is this sentence: “it pains to say this, but I do not desire any form of reciprocal response to you in any modality of communication or from any objective parties.”
So, “Larry,” if that is your REAL name . . . let me get this straight: it hurts you to say that you don’t want to hear from this person you profess to despise, and to whom you sent an abusive rant? That’s passive-aggressiveSpeak for “Please write back to me so that I can alternately beg you to date me again and verbally abuse you. Because I get off on being mean to people who are clearly superior to me.”
Next, who are these “objective parties,” exactly? Who else do you believe will be writing to you? Do you think she’s going to find a bunch of people to write back to you and proclaim her goodness and righteousness, presumably as a way for her to get back into your good graces?
@MWahatten
“Three years later, really? He’s still bent after 2-3 years ago? This sounds recent.”
I actually have absolutely no trouble believing this.
I went on a date with a guy some time ago. It was a nice enough date, but there was nothing between us. He asked me out again, and I turned him down. I wasn’t mean. I simply told him I’d had a good time, he was a nice guy, but I didn’t see it going anywhere, and I wished him the best. Meanwhile, seven years later, he is still telling anyone who will listen what a harpy I am. I know this because I’ve had at least 10 people here in the city–who are my good friends–tell me this. They’ve encountered him in various situations (work, parties, bars, restaurants, classes); they’ll say something about me, where I work, the neighborhood in which I live, etc. He’ll say, “Oh, do you know RantAndOrRave?” They say yes, and he immediately tells them that I am, basically, the dating world’s version of Pol Pot. My friends respond to him in a variety of ways, but they always tell me: “Do you know that John Smith hates you? He completely went off when I told him we’d gone to school together.” Oh yeah. I know.
So, no, my “Larry” didn’t contact me. No, instead, he tells everyone he meets that I’m Satan Incarnate. I can’t decide if it’s funny, pathetic, or scary that he’s this upset.
can I be a satan incarnate too? It would probably get rid of my stalker ^.^
The “A single Mother should above all people show kindness and be civil to others” comment was really irritating to me. (And I’m not even a single mother.)
So maybe poor Larry went on the most horrible date EVER… With the newest member the the Knoxvillian Single Mothers Who Want Some club… Yesterday… And just happened to typo the email address… And now poor Larry is getting the heat from someone else’s 3 year old bad manners… Because clearly he is a man of intelligence and culture… Who must be obeyed… And stuff…
I don’t know if he’s going to find any more “descent ladies”… they were killed by underground monsters, as I recall. Then again, a sequel is coming out soon.
His use of “intestinal fortitude” makes it absolutely a good thing that you didn’t sleep with him…I bet he would have had some weird ideas about what that would entail.
“Trust me I know.” Not only is this guy drurainjed [sic] but he’s a rabid fan of Yoda!
“Mmm…seek the men in white coats you must.”
OBEY THAT STATEMENT BEEYOTCH!
@Alix
I don’t even understand that statement. Are single mothers more kind than married ones? Says who? I’ve seen some pretty nasty single mothers.
Dude has totally lost it.
I think he means that, because they are single mothers, they will be *lucky* to find any guy who will have them, so they better be kind, well-mannered, obedient etc etc or their last-chance-guy will dump them. F*** this guy >:(
what a fuck wit
yeah.
speaking as a single mother of 2, not only does single motherhood not make you especially WANT to be nicer to anyone, I think there is a law that you CANNOT be nicer.
lol
Being nice to someone, after…getting up an hour early to get kids up, getting kids dressed, getting kids fed breakfast, getting kids to school on time (hopefully), getting to work on time (probably not), picking up kids after school, making sure homework is done, cooking supper, doing laundry (if needed), tending to child’s specific need at the time( mom I scraped my leg, lost my shoe, clogged up the toilet, etc.), getting kids bathed, in bed at a decent hour, reading bedtime story, putting kid back in bed 50 million times, after 3 glasses of water, and a trip back to the bathroom, finally falling exhausted into bed your self, just to get up and do it all over again.
*whew* yeah, makes me want to be nicer to everyone. all the time.
rofl
ROFL….Was a single father of one for 2 years or so, I can relate…..
I am going to pretend that he meant to send this to someone else and sent it to you by mistake. It’s the only way my brain won’t lock up.
If that isn’t true please do not tell me.
Oh, yes. Now that is one crazy cookie. A crazy cookie with a penchant for pompous, meaningless language, which he probably makes him sound sophisticated, rather than ignorant and silly. Intestinal fortitude, indeed. LOL
@lizzie
Agh, I need to proofread my posts before hitting submit.
I meant that he probably thinks it makes him sound sophisticated.
@lizzie
Well put, I was going to say the same about his useless verbage.
At first I, like others, figured he must have sent this to the wrong person. But as I read further, it’s pretty clear he’s a nutsack no matter who he was writing to. I mean, seriously, “modalities”? Nice to see a post that really and truly fits the title of the website.
Knoxvillian women are women ‘from Knoxville’, if you see what I mean? From KNOXville, get it? You know… one who is from knoxville and… a lady? Knox. Ville. As the priest said to the rabbi; women from Knoxville are FROM KNOXVILLE. If you catch my drift.
No only kidding, I don’t know what the heck he’s going on about either. Maybe he literally means ‘people from Knoxville’ but anything’s possible with a man who possesses intestinal fortitude. (“I know I possess intestinal fortitude. I didn’t need a doctor to tell me that, because you know why? I looked it up in my GUTS. And my guts say I have intestinal fortitude”).
Although, that said, though I hate to give food to the crazies…
“b) The date we went on was 2 or 3 years ago and ended on a rather negative note; I have not seen or heard from him since”
I went on a date with this girl a few months back which I felt went quite badly (I just thought /I/ was really boring, I remember talking about International Relations the entire time) and then I got gummed down with work so I never got back in contact; ran into her the other day, she seemed really pleased to see me and we’re going out again tomorrow. So… er… you go crazy-stalking-’I went out with her once ages ago but I’m sure it’s paramount in her mind’ people; follow your dreams.
Rage problems much?
What really freaks me out (and there is a lot of freaky going on here) is the line at the top about keeping the email for security purposes. If anyone needs to keep a copy for security purposes is the recipient – so she can get a restraining order against this guy.
Obey this comment.
Oh, man. I don’t blame you for not replying to the crazy dude, but for the love of all that is good and holy, what I’d give to see his response to an email that went, “You’re angry NOW? What were you for the last two years?”
“A copy of this email is being retained and copied for security purposes.”
Not only is a copy being retained, but a copy is being made of the copy! You can never have too many copies. Or copies of copies.
“intestinal fortitude”?
This guy gets all of his big words from D&D.
the single mom comment pissed me off, too.. like, single moms should just be so lucky and happy to date anyone? doosh. also, you should respond with a link to this page.
The problem with a restraining order is that if he doesn’t know where she lives or works right now, after a restraining order he would know. Because he has to “know” where he needs to stay away from.
Damn it feels good to be a gamester
intestinal fortitude? I had to look it up….i guess it means “guts” Hell, i thought it meant, “the courage to fart”
@TISH
Single moms should be lucky and happy to date anyone. =p
But this guy is douche.
@Kitty
heheh
I lol’d.
@Ezreal
You mean no shit at all?
If his name isn’t really Larry, how does she know this email is from whatever guy she thinks it’s from? Wrong name, three years later, … maybe it’s just mistaken identity.
Not that that makes this guy much less stupid.
@Jen
Same E-Mail address? It’s in her contacts>
@TISH
I guess single moms should learn how to spell the insults they throw at crazy people.
I don’t understand how women fail to know how to spell “douche” properly. No one here has ever seen a Summer’s Eve commercial?
@Jen
Um…going to the symphony, followed by a pub, with someone who knows she is a single mom? Yeah, I have a feeling that’s not the commonest of dates for her.
@ Muslim
Your comments are bigoted and uneducated. Grow up.
@MWahatten
I’m a married mother of three and yes, we can be raving b*tches if we so choose. Though I give any mother permission, single or no. Obey this statement.
From urbandictionary.com:
6. doosh — misspelled “Douchebag” on purpose to describe a person that is an idiot and is not worth the correct spelling
7. doosh — A deliberate misspelling of “douche” intended to convey the novice nature of conduct that does not even rise to the level worth of being characterized by the term “douche.”
I guess fucktards throwing insults at single moms should verify their own fucking information first.
@UGH
Ugh, you are the reality/sanity bitchslap on this website!
Win!
@t-rex
and @ UGH
well said. both of you.
@Muslim
Are you implying that single mothers’ dates are commonly something less pleasant? Like maybe a hot dog at the bowling alley?
Don’t want to start a flame war here, but you are clearly talking out of your arse. Please stop.
Love
LAFF
(Ex-single mom, who not only went on many dates nicer than this, but is also even re-MARRIED someone wonderful )
@Jen
Name changed to protect the innocent. I know this woman and she is exactly as described. Also, the date wasn’t 3 years ago but last week, and we sexed. I woke up with $50 ‘lost’ from my wallet…at least this is what she said when I tried to pay for breakfast at Denny’s. BTW, her choice, hence Knoxvillian. Anyway get a life, you know I see this site often as I have mentioned it. I think this is all kinda quirky to me.
@Femi94ce
I think all that Muslim was implying was that a date out to the symphony followed by an evening at the pub is probably pretty unique, and not likely the format of every date that she’s been on. It was probably memorable. I don’t think he/she was saying that single mothers only go on crappy dates.
@Femi94ce
I don’t think muslim meant that at all. I believe he/she was trying to tell someone else (jen, maybe?) that it couldn’t have been a case of mistaken identity because it would have been very coincidental to have two single moms going to the symphony and a pub after with an asshole. Read Jen’s comment above and then muslim’s again.
The non-nesting of replies with this new format creates many misunderstandings here, I think.
Couldn’t agree more. I think I’ll probably just try to use the quote feature as much as possible (particularly since I found out that the reply @ feature does not seem to want to hyperlink back to comments appearing on different pages).
Good to see the nesting comments feature back!
Good grief. If this guy’s name was actually James, he could be my father–a paranoid schizophrenic who lives in Knoxville and is always trying to find “a woman with a heart full of kindness” to distract him from whoever he’s currently married to.
Should I be worried that many of my friends, acquaintences, and I actually do use the phrase “intestinal fortitude”?
(That said, I’ve NEVER taken anyone to a symphony and then a pub on a date.)
But yeah – the guy definitely sounds like he was doing the email equivalent of drink-dialing here.
P.S. If a woman showed me “sexual [sic] connotative photos” I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t respond by assuming they were spawned by feelings of inadequacy. Seems to be that doing something like that requires a fair amount of courage and self-confidence. That said, “tastelessness” is in the eye of the beholder. ;D
P.P.S. A lot of people are unhappy with the new layout of the site, but despite the non-nesting comments, I actually prefer it. For some reason, the old site never formatted right for me and the margins kept getting cut off… the deeper the nesting, the worse it was. :/
@Firefly
I, personally, don’t have a problem with the “intestinal fortitude” phrase in itself, just the context it’s used in. You have to admit that it’s quite out of place.
Regarding the site, I did like the previous layout much better – colour theme and header wise. I have never had the formatting problems you mention though. I don’t have a problem with the unnested comments, I just wish we’d go back to the previous colour theme and header – the latter was quite amusing while this one I find to be a bit boring.
If you got a letter from a guy named Larry T, why do you think it was the guy you went on a date with 2-3 years ago who was not named Larry T? Perhaps it was sent to you in error and was less crazy within it’s rightful context.
I think what happened is the single mother’s email has been hijacked, either virally or via spoofing. Then “Larry” got an email from a porn Spammer and assumed the lady herself had sent him nekkid pics.
Jesus Fucking Christ, did you think to maybe read the prior comments? Apparently not. Or maybe you did and just decided to be today’s redundant douchebag.
As others have said, this sounds recent. I’d guess he wrote the angry email and didn’t send it… then a few years down the line, he clicks the wrong button (or someone else is in his email) and poof.
Although no guesses as to why he gave a different name.
This is exactly what I thought, maybe he wrote this immediately after the date, calmed down and decided not to send it, then accidentally did after it sat in his Drafts folder for three years.
Alternatively, the submitter made the mistake of going on a date with Aleksey Vayner, judging by the description he gives of himself. If you haven’t heard of him:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksey_Vayner
awww did someone not get lucky that night?
Gross and scary. Some people should be put to sleep.
@Muslim
Yes, but it might be for him. That might be where he takes all his dates.
LMAO “intestinal fortitude”~!!
I R sounding smartnessness
Thanks for the alternate read of Muslim’s post. I don;t see it that way. Let me ’splain.
It was the implication of the phrasing “(being invited to blah blah blah)… BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS SHE IS A SINGLE MOTHER.”
In other words, even though the guy knew she was a single mother, he still spent money on a pleasant evening involving symphony music and consumption of alcohol (which probably, in retrospect, was what undid the date).
LAFF
Wow. This makes me so. incredibly. glad. that I am forever through with dating.
This man is a textbook narcissist. I went on a date many years ago with a guy that could very well be your weirdo. 3 months after our last date, he emailed me telling me that I was cold-hearted and inhuman and that he knew of “at least 5 women” who were in love with him and that I should reconsider. I also work with a narcissist who happens to be “in love” in me (feelings NOT mutual). Same kind of behavior. Sociopathic.
@Larry Hi, ‘Larry’. If you really are the Larry from the letter and not just some random dude pretending to be him, than I don’t believe a word of your shit. Other than just being batshit crazy, you’re being completely pompus and narcissistic (do you deny this? You said you were “a professional, highly cultured, highly intelligent male). Really, the levels of douchebagginess displayed here astound me. In this letter, you’re being a complete stalker/creep, while also insulting single mothers, determining yourself the hero (I find your point of view completely biased, by the way), and insulting this woman. And if this really happened to you (which I highly doubt, you creeper), than why are you sending her this? If you think yourself such a better man, then just leave it along. Don’t talk to her again. End of story. If you were really so great as you call yourself, you wouldn’t have sent her this stupid, crazy email. So there’s my defense of the sane, stalker. And please don’t insult my intelligence with more of your lies and insane stories.
@Get a life, creepy Larry
Pretty sure he’s just a troll, but then it’s hard to tell with crazy people ^.^
@Pamela
Maybe the dude is about to commit suicide, and he’s going through the list of people that have ‘wronged’ him before he finally does the deed. But yeah, a narcissist for sure.
@Muslim
No, I haven’t. Can’t speak for anyone else, though.
That guy is still smarting from one gnarly case of blue balls if he’s just now getting around to fussing. And those intestinal fortitude problems can be avoide with copious amounts of Beano and avoiding Taco Bell…
As for the pictures in question…The only way to know for sure is for me to look and see for myself…
Notice how this was sent at 2:40 AM and the horrible spelling. I suggest some form of intoxicant was used.
This could have been my ex – he’s sent me thousands of letters like this over the years, complete with inspiring thoughts such as “I have to make sure you’re punished because I don’t think God will do a good enough job” and “I’m close to knowing the mind of God.” Definitely textbook narcissist. Some advice? DON’T reply to these freaks – ever!!
Who knows what really went on during the date, but people are allowed to express their opinions and he OBVIOUSLY felt she had treated him cruelly. There’s nothing crazy about venting frustration or confronting someone on bad behaviour. Yes, 2 years is a long time for someone to carry that around, but he has every right to call her on what he perceives as bad behaviour and she has every right to ignore him and think he’s crazy. When people receive emails like this its better to not respond, but it doesn’t hurt to look at yourself and the situation and learn from it, either.
holy shit. gotta love how every crazy person has somebody defending their craziness.
. . .
You’re one of those people who use ‘Freedom of Speech’ a lot in arguments, aren’t you?
It has to be the most misunderstood and abused ‘human right’ in history.
I live in Knoxville! Where can I meet this highly intelligent and cultured man?
Try craigslist — all of the winners hang out there.
Just to clarify, Larry T is a famous techno DJ so he probably had that as his name for a joke.
Wow.
Perhaps the chap meant “Knoxvillain”.
Sorry, Earthlings. I really messed up when I made Knoxville, Tennessee.
Obey this statement.
is anyone else thinking Larry the cable guy?
“Are there no descent ladies left?” Well, are there?!
PS: Don’t think too hard about possible meanings here.
In the name of not giving him the satisfaction of having the last word (which is what he was going for when he told her to “Obey this statement” of not responding to him(garble garble garble)), I think she should just send him one email (never to send another one), saying something along the lines of how his email has now been super-duper retained and copied by readers all over the internet via this site. Then just give him the link and let him endure the semi-public shaming and mockery (I genuinely think it’s important for people who say things like “Obey this statement” to be shown that no one is taking them as seriously as they’re taking themselves.)
Wonderfully crazy! I give this 2-1/2 Zyprexas.
Oh my god. Can it be?
