Ah, Gladson; he is so last year. Living in the past, relishing what
he thinks are his conquests. He still thinks I must have something to
prove in life. He is my biggest fan, you know. He even hosts my
picture. It is a little creepy, but he's a harmless little troll.

I have to admit, we got quite a laugh with his little c64nic escapade:

I knew he was inept, and he did not disappoint when he dropped the
ball on that one. Hopefully, others will learn from this mistake and
avoid including him in any future projects. I'm really glad someone
did, it was great for the yuks and proving what I knew about him all
along. His lack of tact and professionalism really shone through!
LOL! What a clown. I feel so damned transparent now, I guess he can
see right through me again. ;)

Did I tell you about the time I contacted Gladson's company for web
hosting? He exploded in his usual unprofessional way, exactly as we
expected. What an embarrassment to those who have to work with him,
when I shared his outburst with them! We got quite a few yuks out of
that. Oh, and that power supply thing. Funny thing that. Gladson
never told us that Francois made that power supply for him as a
favour; he left us with the impression that Francois was marketing
these power supplies for sale to the general public. What a great
guy, eh? Francois did something nice for him, didn't even ask for
enough money to recover his own expenses, only to get bashed all over
the forums when it unexpectedly failed. I figured posting the truth
was the least I could have done.

Have you ever noticed how Gladson refers to everyone he has a
disagreement with as douches? It's not just the two guys who wondered
what happened to their order; it includes a good many others,
including Yours Truly. That's just the kind of guy Gladson is. Do
him a favour, he'll sell you out at the first problem. Have a
disagreement with him, you're a douche. Ask him some questions, face
an all-out attack. Hmm, are there really that many douches in the
world? I know some of these douches personally, and they're actually
decent people. I don't think a month goes by without Gladson getting
into a dispute with someone else. It doesn't surprise me in the
least; it makes for great entertainment as we douches get a laugh out
of his escapades.

As for me, I think I've done quite well for a sad, loathing person
with no direction in life. I own my own house in an upscale
neighbourhood, drive a modern sports sedan, and just bought a brand
new all-wheel-drive SUV last year. That's owned as in no payments,
including the SUV. This sad, loathing person has somehow managed to
be married to the same woman for the past 14 years, share in the
upbringing of a brilliant son, and have enough in savings to not have
to worry about anything. Some people think I have no direction, but I
do have a direction: the whims of my own ever-changing interests. To
me, life is like a smorgasbord of opportunities. Some people are
content to pick one or two things; me, I want a taste of as much as I
can. We only live once; there's no going back to the smorgasbord for
seconds. I've gone from working in an office tower to working on the
shop floor, just because I wanted to experience both. I've been a
professional photographer, peer tutor, business owner, and played in
real estate and money management, and have both enjoyed and profited
from those endeavors. I got into IT when things were good, I got out
of IT when things went bad. I was flipping houses before there was a
show about it, while the market was booming. Today, I'm a full-time
student, but I'm also a fitness facility supervisor at Legends in
Oshawa. I don't do it for the money; I do it for the experience. I
think I should like to try energy auditing for a couple of years, then
see what "Green" jobs show up after that. In my retirement, I think I
should like to travel and write about my experiences, contented in the
knowledge that the life I lived was rich and full, with no nagging
"What ifs" to disturb me. My memories of everything I have done,
including working on the shop floor in a factory, are all fond ones.

Enough about me (although I could go on for hours; it is my favourite
topic). I am flattered that Gladson has become such a big fan of my
life. Digging through decade-old posts on the internet; he's like the
tabloid digging up dirt, and I'm the celebrity. I can't say how much
this flatters me, to have such a devoted fan. It's so wonderful to
have him and his very small circle of friends talk about me at the
shows; that I occupy so much of his thoughts. Want to know how much I
think about or talk about Gladson when I'm at a show? Pretty much
never, unless we "Douche bags" need a good joke. I hope he keeps it
up; watching him foam at the mouth because someone on eBay asked him
some questions or someone else inquired about their order is
priceless. LOL

Yes, you contacted some people I work WITH, and tried to discredit me
or whatever you were up to, and got laughed at. Especially where you
pointed out I had made pictures of their facility available and was
creating a security risk. Funny, you did not actually look at the
pictures as you would have seen that they were of a different
company. Its pretty funny indeed that you exhibited your ignorance of
what the hell you are talking about, see below:

Quote from Paulies "inquiry":

"We are currently in discussions about the future of retro-link.com,
and the
direction in which we'd like to take it. At the present time, a basic
tier
I system meets our business needs. That said, as retro-link.com grows
and
offers greater services to more people, it will be inevitable that we
will
need to move it up to different tiers. My planning committee is
presently
determining at which points during our growth do we move up a tier,
for
what purpose, and with whom. "

Haha, nice one.

As to the power supply fiasco, I do not see how paying $50 for a power
supply that broke after less than 3 hours is somehow Slappy doing me a
favor. Again, Flip-Flop logic at work.

I hope your night watchman duties are truly fulfilling, it would suck
to work a job you loathe, I wouldn't know anything about that. I am
smart enough to be in a field I enjoy and have been for the last 16
years or so.

You like to claim you are superior and "above all this" yet you seem
to have to have the last word. You regurgitate the same stories and
make grand assumptions about people sharing your feelings. Its funny
you think its cool that you are looked down upon by the "DO-ers" in
the community. You are a taker. You contribute NOTHING and drive
away even your confidants. Watch the newsgroups for my latest
contribution to the community, announcement coming in a week or so....
I look forward to your first contribution.

Oh yeah, who was it that not only called underwriters labs regarding
the slappy power supply? Who also emailed his professors? oh, that
was Mr. innocent, Paul Quirk.

Double standards to the nth power...

It's also beyond me why he continues to insist I'm a security guard.
Not that I'd have a problem with it (I have respect for anyone who
earns an honest living and do not consider myself above any job),
except for the fact it's not true. It's fabricated like everything
else. He must think the Jumpdisk preservation project threw itself
together; nobody had to create the disk images, scan in the covers,
organize everything, write the html code, or pay for hosting. That's
the only way his lie could have any shred of truth, which it doesn't.
He has proven himself to be a liar. Not a fact-twister, not a flip-
flopper, but a straight out LIAR.

He doesn't like the truth because he can't handle the truth. The
truth that I have the resources to leisurely take a two year program
in the exciting field of renewables as a full time student while
maintaining a nice home, a sports sedan, an all wheel drive SUV, all
without taking on any debt and excelling in my field of study. The
fact that I have a prestigious part time job as a Fitness Facility
Supervisor with the City of Oshawa, as anyone who visits the Legends
fitness facility in Oshawa on a Wednesday evening can attest to with
their own eyes. The fact that I am a success in my life, without
being an arrogant prick to people who ask me questions because of it.
I will be more than glad to furnish evidence to support the fact that
I am a two year full time student and a part time supervisor with the
City of Oshawa to anyone who e-mails me. Not that it really matters;
I'd gladly do security work. Or change oil. Or wash a car. I would
do these jobs with pride if any of them were, in fact my job.

Well, what can I do now but point out the obvious character flaws Mark
Gladson has so graciously furnished in this thread himself. I could
talk about my own life some more, but then I would be bragging. I
suppose I'll just tuck my son in, enjoy a glass of wine with my wife,
and sleep well in our king sized bed.

Good night, and take care.
