Asshattery at CM or Rangerwicket Gets Dogpiled

[Keeper of Secrets]

This is one of the best threads on the internet, currently.

That's not a dogpile that's an implosion. I take it based on some inference that the wanger implodes like this fairly frequently. <shudder>

[Ancalagon]

Morrus owed in that thread.

I vaguely remember the name RangerWickett from ENWorld.

So what's his story in a nutshell, and who's this chick who hates him now?

A whiny passive-aggressive weenie that does work for EN Publishing and self-promotes a lot. He's been accused on a few past occasions of stealing other people's work or at least not getting permission.

The chick is his ex-girlfriend of 5 years and long-time 'friend' who thinks he ruined her life. She's also a current EN Worlder known to many people on CM and EN World both. She's an artist and writer, and he used many of her ideas and stories without permission, then told her that her art sucks.

[TiQuinn]

I do like the way PWD and others managed to preserve some of his posts before he went back and editted them. What a peckerhead. :D

to complete the drama picture, she posted on her blogs about the art stealing and the life ruining. He posted on CM to bitch about it.

This thread is useless without links.

Is his ex some hideously ugly blob? She's got no pics on that myspace page. One has only to assume...

The link is in the opening post of the thread. And a link to her blog is in the thread on CM.

One has to register in CM to see that thread, and I refuse to make that asshat any more money after his treatment of me.

But thanks.

I have little interest in CM, myself. My posting is spread out across enough boards, and I just don't care for some of the people there.

[Goblin Girl]

The thing that's so funny is that the girl accuses him of being thoughtless and casually cruel. That's Wanger Rickett to a T.

And then she basically says she never found him attractive, but settled for him because she liked his writing. :rotfl:

I agree with her 50% of the way.

This would explain the refuse to have sex with him bit some have brought up...

You know, this is just sad in all sorts of ways. They never should have been with each other... or, if you want to be a bastard about it, they deserved each other.

[Droid101]

I never thought I'd utter the words "I'm upset CM is blocked at work."

[Goblin Girl]

This is the best dogpile in months! :jump:

Fuck yeah. He wasn't gettin' away with that bullshit.

[strawberry]

I'm absolutely rolling with laughter at the girl's thank you note to CM. Whatever her deal may be, his whiny passive-agressive ass pissed me right off.

That was funny. I didn't actually go read her blog until quite late in the thread after she had posted that reply, and I have to say she's a good sport.

[Keeper of Secrets]

Of course she is a good sport. Her public enemy number 1 is being skewed by the liberal media! ;)

Oh man, can you imagine the razzing he's gonna get? What was really funny was he was whining for a few days now that he might not come because of the break-up, joyfully embracing all the carebeardism he has been getting and now this bombshell drops. What is even better is that HE is the one who dropped it and it blew up in his fucking face.

[Dr. Cherry Gunn]

What you glorious bastards need to do is figure out a way to razz him about it constantly without it becoming obnoxious. I suggest a codeword or nickname that can be used over and over again innocuously.

It would be even worse if said word were leaked on CM before the event.

What can we work from? The blog? Weak. The "nine years" angle? It has potential. "I feel like someone stole nine years from my life." "I want my nine years back." Things like that.

[Dark Jezter]

I just spent the last hour sitting here at my desk at work giggling like a schoolgirl at that thread.

I can't wait until I get home and can read the blog entries. :D

[Dr. Cherry Gunn]

The "nine years" angle? It has potential. "I feel like someone stole nine years from my life." "I want my nine years back." Things like that.

Great idea.

I think nine years is the way to go. Everyone, and I mean everyone, should definitely greet Wanger with a hearty "it feels like it's been nine years since I saw you!"

After a couple of minutes of conversation, "I feel like we've been at this for nine years," will likely be truthful and relevant. :D

:rotfl: Oh, yes. I can't wait to do this. Every year he says something offensive to me. This year I will finally pay him back! :thumbsup:

Actually, I'm hoping that this year he insults me in front of you. I'd like to watch you deck him.

That's funny. Funny weird. Not funny ha-ha. Like I have mentioned before, he strikes me as someone who wants to go out of his way to be liked and suck up to the popular crowd. Since you are generally well liked I am surprised he is not more of a sychophant to you.

Well, he is pretty clueless, so maybe he doesn't think he's being offensive to her.

I disagree. Say what you want about him (and there is plenty to say) but I think the guy is fairly intelligent. I think it would be more accurate to say he is self-absorbed and just doesn't care that he is fairly flip.

There's intelligence and intelligence. It's not a simple, single numerical value like it's abstracted to be in IQ tests and RPGs.

Even then, I'd hold that intelligence would rather work as an absolute -- the most intelligent people are also those able to be the most disastrously stupid.


So, maybe he's brillant and passed all his classes with honors. I don't know, and honestly I don't care to know. He can still be a total moron when it comes to behaving with people.

[Keeper of Secrets]

At some point you should take action, say something rude to him, publicly.

Fact is, the guy is a flat out misogynist. That term gets thrown around a lot on here, but for the most part I don't know of anyone here that really is one. This guy, though, is one for real. Look how he treated his "girlfriend," for goodness sakes, and I seem to remember something about him complaining that his mom was too needy or he didn't want to loan her $10 or something and so he wished she would die (for real). Anyone remember that one?

[Dr. Cherry Gunn]

And I'm glad to see "nine years" is catching on. Maybe we can get diaglo to start things off by complaining that the drive seems like it's taking nine years. :D

And I don't think Wanger is very intelligent.

[True Lies] Do it slowly. Do it doucement. [/True Lies]

[Dr. Cherry Gunn]

ok, so he didn't want his mom to die, he was just typically self-absorbed in her hour of need.

Yesterday, as I was walking through the gateway into the Renaissance Festival, I got a phone call from my mother. My uncle Lee had passed away around 2 in the morning Monday, from liver failure and possibly other things.

I just want to start this off by saying how stupid my uncle was, because according to his wife and his doctors, he didn't take his medication. Because of this, he was ineligible for a liver transplant. I mean, who's going to waste a perfectly good liver on someone too lazy to get out of bed and take the pills necessary to avoid rejection?

It's natural to get a little angry at people you care about when they die. You get over it, and I'm mostly over it by now already. It had me rocky yesterday morning, pretty much until I had a chance to sit down and write out how I felt about the situation. The saddest thing? I couldn't get past the Morgan Freeman line in The Shawshank Redemption: "Get busy living, or get busy dying."

It's a good line.

My uncle, as much as I loved him -- and he would have loved the Renaissance Festival, would've thought it was a hoot -- seemed lazy, at the end. My grandparents stayed alive and content until they were nearly eighty, and then my grandmother died, and a few months later my grandfather gave up, and I feel he had the right to do that. He stopped caring about being alive, and his body complied.

My uncle, though, still had his wife (Aunt Barbara, who I love most of all my relatives outside my immediate family), and all his kids were still in the same state, and he had grandkids (a few too many, actually, since his children were all horny morons, but dammit, I should be trying to be somber here). It might be unfair, but it feels to me like he let himself die, just like my grandfather did, except that my uncle had no excuse.

Okay, I suppose cirrhosis of the liver is an excuse.

So yeah, quick tree. Grandpa and Grandma Zell live in Wisconsin. They give birth to an aunt who died before I was old enough to remember her, my mom, my aunt Barbara, and my uncle Robert. Aunt Barbara (Zell) married Lee Porter, my uncle who just died. Barbara and her brother Robert both live in Milwaukee still, but they don't talk because, after Grandma Zell died, aunt Barbara wanted to take care of Grandpa Zell directly, while uncle Robert wanted to put him in a home. My mother acted as a mediator, and still is irritated at both of them.

I really hope I got all that right. I usually only have to deal with my extended family once every year or two, aside from hearing tales about how my cousins are all idiots who don't know how to stay employed, out of jail, and celibate. Man, that branch of my family's dysfunctional. Gah.

Sorry, I know I'm frustrated. Frustrated that my favorite aunt might now, when she's not even 60, start to slide toward death like my grandfather did. Frustrated that my uncle was stupid enough to not take medication regularly, and so he died. Frustrated that my cousins are equally stupid, and that their dad just died so they're not likely to get their act straightened up.

What I really hate, though, is that the main reason I'm angry is because of how this is hurting my mother. My dad died when I was 7, and Aunt Barbara flew down from Wisconsin to spend time with us and help us cope. I barely remember it -- just photos of her with us with a cooler full of beer at the Fourth of July festival at Riverfront Park in Beaumont. And I'm pretty sure even then I had a hard time standing my youngest cousin, Austin.

But Aunt Barbara came, and that's when I fell in love with her dry, snarky personality. She's the reason I don't hate cigarette smoke, because she seemed to know just what cigarettes are needed for -- for getting through painful moments. Life sucks, and I'd see her irritated, maybe briefly wondering if she had failed as a mother or a sister or an aunt, but then she'd pull out a cigarette, get her focus, and lean back against a wall or counter and tell me a story.

That's the benefit of having four irrational kids -- you have good stories, and you get the sort of fatalistic optimist wisdom that I loved in her.

And now, my mother feels an obligation to do the same thing. We didn't talk long yesterday morning when she first called; I used the line that I had bad cell phone reception, when really I just wanted time to deal with the news. I should have talked to her, but . . . I don't know. I can imagine she already had talked a lot with aunt Barbara, and I wasn't going to say anything new. I'm always nervous now about poking wounds. I'd rather keep my distance for a bit and give them time to heal.

My mother has an obligation to go from Texas to Wisconsin, to help her sister, my aunt. And so my mother called me last night after midnight, long after I had collapsed into bed from the exhaustion of a day at the sunny RenFest and then a purifying swim. And my mother asked me to help her buy a plane ticket.

She had pain in her voice, held back because I don't think she wanted me to hear it. The night before, after she had called me to tell me Uncle Lee had gone into a coma from liver failure, I had lain in bed, my mind arace. I think I already knew my uncle was going to die, and I wanted to make sure my mother knew I loved her. That I appreciated things like her taking me to the Renaissance Festival in Texas when I was a kid, and spending more money than was probably wise after my father died so she could take my brother Eric and I on vacations to see places that are key parts of my childhood -- White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, the Grand Canyon -- places that are bleak and strong and resilient.

I wanted to thank her for being a wonderful mother. But instead, as she asked me if I could go online and help her order a plane ticket, to see if I could find something cheaper than the $600 last minute fares she was quoted when she called United, I told her I was exhausted, that I had work at 6 the next morning, and that I would help her tomorrow.

I suppose really I was wrong before. I'm not angry because this is hurting my mother. I'm angry because I'm being weak, and I'm not doing what I need to. My mother asked for my help, and I should not be so uncaring that I let the brief unpleasantry of me having to actually help out, bring her any pain.

Well... One thing I've noticed about you is that you let no insult pass. I'm not saying you're thin skinned, or that you take offense at imaginary insult, but whenever a barb is thrown your way, you react. So combine you and someone with his lack of tack and yeah, I'm not surprised at the end result.

I'm not much different. I can let most things slide, but get in my face about something, or start insulting me, and I may just want your skin for a lampshade. It's not a good idea to get on my bad side- I'm not nice when I get pissed off.

Oh, I don't deny I have those tendencies. But let me tell you a little story.

The first time I met him, it was GenCon 2003. (I think. Might have been 2004.) He asked me "So. What's it like going through life as an unattractive woman?"

Yes, I swear he said that. I don't remember my exact reply, but it was something along the lines of "I don't know. What's it like going through life as a socially retarded loser?" He was so hurt by my cruelty! Horrible, mean Buttercup! :D

Anyway, because he was obviously a pathetic tool, I didn't kick him in the nuts. I was more amused than anything. But every year since then, he has said something equally outrageous. If he does it to me this year (and why wouldn't he, eh?) I'd really really like to cockpunch him. But that would get me thrown out of the con. :( Do you think I should ask him to step outside, and then cockpunch him?

[Brynja]

I think you should ask him what 9 years feels like.

[Brynja]

To clarify-

Are you trying to justify wangers actions toward GG?

[Ergeheilalt]

So then unattactive =/= nice?

Not always. But Shetroll is a scathing bitch and not in a funny way, but in a gloating, know-it-all, muffintop-bedecked sort of way.

[Brynja]

My question seeking clarity remains.

[Ergeheilalt]

To clarify-

Are you trying to justify wangers actions toward GG?

Not at all. I just find it hilariously funny.

[Brynja]

Because?

I think we are going in a circle.

I am still hoping you can salvage the impression I have of you possessing social skills.

[Ergeheilalt]

It's funny because it's outrageous. It's not tactful. It's not appropriate. It's not nice. It's just funny-wrong.

Goblin Girl--that jackass sounds like a fucking snarky, jello-brained troglodyte.

For saying something so rude to you, you should have slapped his face real hard--you know, that really loud *whacking* that a woman does to a guy? Where it's the deafening *whack* sound that causes him to just stand there, with his mouth open, his face turning crimson, while everyone stops and looks?

It's all so quiet you can hear a pin drop...

and of course, it's so quiet that *everyone* can now hear you very *clearly* dress him down in public for being such a fucking pig.

THAT would have been worth $20 bucks to see....

No, there was no prior bad blood between us. In fact, Buttercup had always been nice to him.

Like I said, I was stunned and amused at the degree of cluelessness the comment implied.

How long have you lived under a rock?

I can't tell whether you're serious or just having fun making everyone else type stuff.

RSM is Rusted Scrap Metal, one of the screen names of Tim Willard (http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showcreator&creatorid=11247).

How can you live without a regular supply of drama?

[The Winslow]

Tim is not just a d20 writer, he's also a soldier. He got a lot of stories to tell about the wounds he got and the medical treatments thereof. Hence his chosen name, as he built himself the persona of some sort of ramshackle cyborg that has shed its bolts all over the place on various battlefronts.

Got a lot of rants about how well the Republican Party and Bush's administrations are supporting the troops by increasing the military budget for grand utopian projects (like anti missile shields) yet not dropping any penny to give soldiers body armor, for example.

He's also a foul-mouthed poet. His rants were always very amusing to read.

I honestly had no opinion of Rangerwickett prior to this. Regardless of the jackassery perpetuated in the posts, I would have no respect for him over this for his editing his posts (and not the first time based on what I've seen in other threads linked from that thread). He's not able to own up to his words, and I find that reprehensible. I've said stuff that I regret online. Do it enough and you learn not to put something up that you regret, but you leave it up to acknowledge that you made a mistake. He strikes me as being a child who tries to sweep his little tantrums under the rug when the heat starts coming.

I don't know that I've words to respond properly to this. Not after reading the roots of this whole mess.

I think Martin summed it up. The ultimate expression of this guy's asshattery is his inability to own up to his own words. That's about as low as it gets. If they can't even do that, you really can't expect them to function at a higher level -- such as treating another person with dignity.

Has RW always been such a fucking ass? I have never heard--or seldom heard, rather--anyone say anything very good about him. Honestly, I'd say for every one person that has said something positve--and there have been less than five--I can probably count a 10 to 1 ratio of people having nothing but negative experiences and interactions with this jerk. Pretty sad. And the snot-nosed punk is what? 23? 24 years old?
