Is it me, or... (Wumb board)

is Spat starting to get extra irritable in his responses and answers? Someone asked a question he already answered and he made it a point of saying it was in the FAQ "which no one reads but is posted on just about every page anyway."

It's a little thing, but how many times did Foxy answer the same friggin' parking question in the WWC thread for example? I dunno, something about that and he other recent responses have just gotten under my skin.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Joe Y, we continue to miss you.

While I probably give this guy more shit than he deserves, his attitude towards Foxy is what really chapped my hairy white ass.

Ever since, anything he says or posts just comes off as smarmy and condescending.

This.

Normally I'm willing to go to bat for the Wizard guys because angry fanboys are a whiny and irrational lot. However, his smart-ass, condescending attitude toward Kristin when she was asking questions as an exhibitor really got under my skin. From then on I've had a complete dislike for him. He didn't help his case when he continued to be a complete dillweed to her at the convention. I probably would have been more sympathetic to the douchebag had it not been for that.

Totally agree. I've cut the guy a lot of slack personally because he's always been cordial to me and let's face it, he has a tough job. Compound that with only being on the job for a few months, and the notion that you can't please everyone all of the time, and I can see why he'd have a bad day now and then.

But again, treating exhibitors and customers with a modicum of respect is not to much to ask. Copping in attitude while answering questions will win few fans....

I don't like his rockabilly sensabilities.

That ain't nothing Jason, you should of seen the unprofessionalism of this guy towards Foxy in person. I think I'm telling this story right, but Spat went up to Foxy and said "I was gonna buy the wumbers a pack of beer...here, you can have this." and placed an empty beer bottle by her. If I was there and wittness that I would have chucked that bottle to the back of his head.


I even asked if he would want Spidey to appear at some of the pannels. Volunteering and stuff, like last year. Joe Y loved the idea and made it happen and thanked me, what does Spat do? "I never heard of anyone not appearing to a pannel in costume." That's the response I got....what a dickweed!

I was there....I thought all he said was "here's a present", and set the empty bottle down. He was sloppy drunk, and totally just WALKED into our conversation.

Now I feel sh*tty for feeling sorry for him and giving him energy bars whenever I saw him at the convention.

*chucks bottle to the back of his head when he walked away* What I would have said. "We wanted to return the present."

I'm not a fan of Spat. He can go whistle up a rope. Kristin rules, and no one talks to/treats her like that on my watch.

Now I feel like a total pussy for not pushing him down an elevator shaft.

Good god is that crap. Wow what a dick move... and from someone employed by the convention organizers no less.

This. Bravo sir, would have been perfect.

That's the sort of thing I would totally do....except I'd do it to close friends who would know I was joking around, not wander up to people I barely know when I'm drunk. I tend to like everyone I meet, but these stories are really making me upset at this guy. He said he was going to send me something as a thank you for the energy bars...maybe I'll have to bring it with me to PoPtober fest so we can have an Office Space Copier scene in your backyard K.

Woah, I didn't hear about any of this.

Spat did come through with my free passes though so he's got that going for him, I guess.

Dude...did you say that because that's also a line from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"? Tell me you did.

This is all I saw.

That is ALSO a line from a movie, but that movie is Gentlemen Prefer Blondes From Behind 12...

That beer bottle thing he did, not cool.

When someone asks you if you are a god...

About the beer thing that's really uncool for it to happen to anybody, I don't care who it is. But our very own lovable Foxy???? I believe in Karma so i'm positive he'll get his. And in any case he can eat a dick.

I just got caught up on threads over there. Wow. These people are paying customers and you're representing your company like that?

I know I've said this before but I just read it again, you'll get reprimanded for suggesting 'adult stars' but having guests who are best known for (and get billed for!) their appearance in Penthouse or Playboy is ok. Now that makes sense.

At least Joe is loving his new job.

That actually bothered me a lot. He's bragged several times about how many people he knows.. well Spatty, I know a lot of people, too. Want to know how many of them were happy with this con?

When I first got set up on Thursday he ran by my table, asked real quick if things were ok, then ran off again. I didn't have a problem with this, Thursday nights can be hellish. What did get under my skin was Saturday afternoon. He was going up to every person who was set up in AA, introducing himself and saying 'thank you for being a part of Chicago Comic-Con 2009.' Except he only briefly looked at me and went straight to the guy next to me. That move really pissed me off. After he left my table mate Jordan gave me a look and asked 'What was up with that snub?'

Combine that with how he's been on the WUMB and Saturday night (where he also completely invaded my personal space when he set his empty Guiness bottle down next to me), and you should get a nice clear picture of my feelings.

I even asked if he would want Spidey to appear at some of the pannels. Volunteering and stuff, like last year. Joe Y loved the idea and made it happen and thanked me, what does Spat do? "I never heard of anyone not appearing to a pannel in costume." That's the response I got....what a dickweed!

That's bananas. People in costume are used all the time for panels and lots of different shows.

If they had someone working customer service I'd write them.

Did you see him? I think he already did.
