    Did you actually read the email or just an article on it?????
    ammm no it isnt just her decision.
    your missing the whole point...she named the child, she told him she was gonna have it then went behind his back and killed his unborn child(his view).
    the fact that she named it made it more real.

    HE SAYS she named the child etc. The guy is actually a complete whack job and a fantasist. None of you know any of the facts of this story. If I was a mod id be locking this thread as its all just speculation and bull**** from people who dont know what they are talking about.

    Anyone who reads it knows that the email provides only his side of the whole thing. Would be interesting to see the other.

    However when reading it you do gather that the guy has a bit more than a few screws lose and anything he says or claims can probably be ignored. What he did [email] was just childish.[/email]

    That would be the least of his worries, considering he said he'd just dropped a bunch of pills...

    Blown out of proportion in my opinion. Would certainly make things a bit awkward the following monday, but nothing to write home about.

    One of the best known media companies in this country mysteriously shuts it's website the same day this email circulates... not only internally, but to suppliers and most likely to clients and everyone else. This is very serious in my opinion, and I'd imagine it's going to have further consequences as companies realise the impact one email (on what was one employees personal matter) can have on it's brand, business and employees.

    search the blogs


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,251 ✭✭✭AngryBadger


    hmmmm...dunno that I'd respond the same way myself but if she did have an abortion and not tell him, (and especially if she'd previously told him she wanted to keep the child) then, well, I can't think of many other things that would probably cause someone to go balls crazy.

    That said, as I always do in these cases, why did he get involved with someone like that? (the whole thing of meeting him for a month before leaving her partner of the time - wtf?)

    'course that's all assuming this is even remotely true and not another 'net spoof.

    you have to search within blogs on the google page

    Awww they changed his e-mail password :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,396 ✭✭✭✭Karoma


    Do not post details that may identify individuals.
    Do not post requests for the email - either directly asking for a PM or indirectly for details on how to find it.
    If you fail at searching with google -that's your problem. No part of that email is to be republish in AH.
    Next person to ask gets a ban - for stupidity. Ozzyoh: Do not post in this thread again.


    Draconian measures aside, it's really not worth the read...

    Karoma, by making it taboo, you're just making people want to read it more.

    --> OBVIOUS <---

    I can do that too.
    We're still not allowing the publication of any portion of it, or stupid requests from people too thick to use google properly. I'm deleting the thread at the next request and handing out a ban. Call it an idiot filter.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 16,186 ✭✭✭✭Maple


    It is true. On receipt of it noting the contact details I rang the company and asked to speak to the guy in question, especially as he had rambled on about taking a bunch of pills etc. They told me that he no longer worked for the company. They asked if anyone else could help me and I told them that I'd just received this very bizarre email. The receptionist apologised etc etc and wanted to put me through to a manager. They're on serious damage control there.

    Seriously screwed up situation.

    There's actually an A-Team version going around now. All the names changed to characters from the A-Team. ha


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭A-Trak


    It's fantastically boring and not entertaining in the slightest.

    The individual who wrote it does seem fairly off kilter, but it's not even interesting in a car crash, cheap voyeuristic sense that you may be witnessing lunacy.

    Some "leaving mails," can at times be very funny and smart although being revenge driven and the work of not the most well adjusted individuals.
    That one wasn't.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,174 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    this reminds me of the MCD thing - same deal: you will go google it and then be disappointed, and forget what it was all about anyway. Its not really worth reading and to be honest i think its just viral advertising.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,390 ✭✭✭Stench Blossoms


    I feel sorry for the guy, the girl shouldn't have aborted the baby without letting him know first. The whole thing about naming the child though, i think thats a bit overboard. She probably just said a some stage "I'd like to call my first child Sophie".

    He needs councelling anyway.

    I've had a read of this now and I have to its a load of bollox right? The email implies that the baby was 8 weeks (7 weeks and 3 days as of last Wednesday) and that it would have been a girl named Sophie. A Google search says gender can be most accurately determined between the 18th and 26th week of pregnancy. Even assuming that a good guess could be made prior to that how the hell do you do that it at least 10 weeks sooner?

    PCR based methods can determine gender at 5 weeks, although its not 100% reliable until 7 weeks.

    I have to say I found it fascinating! He is extremely messed up.
    I searched the death notices in the Irish Times recently and no one with his surname was mentioned in a while, so the pills mustn't have killed him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 324 ✭✭Joe Cool


    From what I heard (secondhand info from someone who knows a co-worker) he isn't dead, he was apprehended by the authorities for his own safety and she has resigned and gone on traveling.

    Obviously I can't verify this but its a better ending than your man offing himself. They caught up with him in the midlands, wasn't informed as to where he was destined.

    The email itself was only interesting to me as it passed the time of a boring day in work and lead to numerous emails bouncing back and forth discussing it. If I had been at home I wouldn't have bothered with it.

    I found this to be much more entertaining and funnier:

    Hello to all the AH crowd. Long time lurker, first time poster in here.

    Word out.

    Damnit. Spent ages trying to track it down. Read through it. I'm severely disappointed now. It's nowhere near as good as the email the dude sent to his girlfriend after he found out she had oral sex with someone in a bar's toilet, while he waited outside.

    This was just a bitching session. But then again, I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting either.

    Also, the A-Team version? Ha! Face getting B.A pregnant, that'd make for an interesting read

    He's on suicide watch at the moment.

    The GF was fired.

    Meh, twas wasted as an email but it would have made a great PI thread.

    How could the gf be fired? She's done **** all imo. If there's emails going around slandering other people fair enough


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,103 ✭✭✭promethius


    If that's true it's one hell of a mess personally for those people (there are pictures of them on the net) along with the office involved, not sure they they continue to operate with what was said in the mail.
