I am unbelievable horrified by the latest deceit in a reviewer. I have started asking individuals if they are reviewers so that I may look at their review history as I have been burned by a few when I was too trusting, only to find that they have a negative review history.
Mtmanak called me at 3pm on a Friday afternoon begging me for an appointment that night. Claiming that he had just returned from Iraq and he wanted to spend the night with a pretty girl desperately. I explained that I just couldn't do it because I didn't have sufficient time after an appointment to ready myself in the way that I would like. Again begging me he said that it didn't matter he just wanted to spend time with me because of my review history. I then asked if he was a reviewer and he said that he wasn't.
When I arrived I was hot, tired, and probably looked more of a mess than I have for my over 100 other reviews, but to claim that my pictures are old and considerably touched up is absolutely ludicrous!! To slam my reputation based on his short sightedness and impetuous behavior is ridiculous. After this review showed up I received multiple emails asking what was up with this guy as they felt my pictures accurately portrayed me. Couple that with the fact that after I posted these new pictures many who I had seen before said that it was about time that I posted new pictures that were an accurate portrayal of me and if you read earlier reviews you will see that many had said I looked much better than my previous pics.
So after my special friends had sent me emails telling me about the TER review I attempted to try and contact mtmanak to try and find out what exactly was going on. He, of course, did not return my mail. I would think that if what he was saying was true and he had conviction in what he wrote then he would have absolutely no problem telling me that.
This experience has taught me that unless you show up looking exactly like your pictures and fresh out of bed then there will be some asshole who will use it to his advantage to make himself look like a big man. I have to wonder if his main reason for seeing me was to just try and knock me down a few pegs. Gratefully the wonderful men of Colorado who I have seen up until then and after have been wonderful to me and gracious in their reviews. I had no idea how much I appreciated them until this happened.
Unfortunately, it is sad that eccie.net does not have a venue where we can write a rebuttal as other boards do. :-(
