Has anyone ever been threatened by a business owner who you wrote a bad online review about?

no wai!

:roll: once an attention whore, always an attention whore.

you can change the name.. but you can't change the person.

youre a clown man. how can anyone take you seriously when you troll shit like this?

the woman posted her client's wedding video online. thats fucked up as is. but the one she posted was edited, which I am assuming is totally different than what the OP actually got.

lol.... since you joined in 2005, you may not remember all the HappyKitten, Dezign etc threads... they make nerdress, lola, mosh look tame..

like i said.. once an attention whore, always an attention whore.

if you want to "own" your video.. take it yourself. or hire a monkey (as the OP said they could) to take it.

letting a professional company take your video is giving them ownership.. you're just buying a copy from them.

Heh it all depends on what the contract said.

Nope, 4chan will do that though.

Cliffnotes: Gretchen fucked up our wedding video.

Bottom Line: Do NOT trust MSP with anything important you want to capture on film... weddings, birthdays, bar mitzvahs, baby births, etc.

I don't want to waste any more time or risk any more money on such an unprofessional and talent-less individual/company. Shame on you, Gretchen and MSP."

I'd consider the above bolded portions objectionable and the OP should rephrase. She did botch the bride's walk down the aisle which is unexcusable. As are the shots where she holds the camera at an angle. Is she a one person, one camera company? - My B-in-L is a pro (shot video for the late MJ) and for all his assignments he uses 2 or 3 cameras.

Before she became MrsBugi.. she was dezign.. then happykitten..then tomato..

Famous for posting "look at me" threads...
I think one of her first posts on the forum was "i just had my first partially nude photoshoot... pics inside!" or something to that effect..

Eh, I guess just don't see the connection. You can't take a past post like that and conclude that today she was hoping that someone will post a link to her wedding video. Nobody here knows her thoughts, and nobody here is qualified enough to infer as much ... unless her husband posts here.

LOL..

it wasn't just one post..

if she has 1769 posts...

1700 of those were "hay look at me" posts

the rest were "why isn't anyone looking at me" posts.

Well I'd be fuckin pissed if I had paid 1k for that video. I could do a better job with my camcorder. No shit.

Well, fuck. I guess you could have just asked a couple of your friends to bring their HD camcorders along and tape the ceremony from different angles and then asked them to edit them into a nice wedding video with music tracks for free and you may have gotten a better deal.

I think I spent twice that on my wedding video and there were things about it that I thought sucked...but we didn't have the internet back then so suck it up (going on 17 years now). Actually, I just had only one gripe and that was the fact that there was a candle behind me during the vows so it looked like my mouth was on fire the entire time. I think we've watched that video like 5 times in the last 17 years. Wedding videos are a complete waste of money.

That said, I could have done better with an off the shelf Sony camcorder.

BTW-Isn't this your second marriage?

Anyone else thinking about wedding videos, see the bolded section.

 

[PieIsAwesome]

That video was creepy, like someone spying on everyone during the whole wedding.

I was threatened by a woman just for telling her that I would be very straight with the other vendors about how she treated us - I never posted a review of her business online, but now that I see yours, I probably should. In any case, never talk to anyone from OOH (Out of Hand) Events near Charleston, SC.

dude even from the first email your wife is a seething bitch to this lady. I would have turned down the job as well just like this vendor had been trying to do from the start. Who the fuck starts out "First of all!" like this vendor was somehow dealing with her for years.

She was accusatory from the get go and yes, if you were making false claims in an email to this vendor and then stating "you will share them with others" that is both a threat and one that could warrant an attorney getting involved in. Also you may want to read up on slander and libel and how exactly they work.

Sounds like you had no budget and took it out on someone that needed one to work with. $1500 is not a lot of money and those used to having a real wedding budget would be hard pressed to work with that, sounds like she was just trying to hit your numbers and cut out the items that you'd rather not have cut out. When you are dealing with shoestring budgets expect to deal with associates for the clerical crap and even then don't expect the head honcho to be the one that does the deal.

WTF kind of review would you post when there wasn't even a deal made this sounds clearly as your wife was pissed her budget was too far outside what this vendor could deal with and blamed the vendor for that.

<let me be cool and mention 4chan>mmm dude they aren't your personal army and they usually arent falling in puppy love and every female poster like here. They have a few key photos they'd need to see before even taking her application to raise the militia.

Two items:

1) Depending on the agreement you signed with her, she may have the right to display her work without your permission.
2) Depending on where you live a comment of "I'll remove it if you remove your negative review" could easily be considered blackmail or criminal coersion.

yeap.


BUT saying this the video is not that bad. you wan't proffesionaly done hire someone better. you do get what you pay for.

Also Mrsbugi was rude and yes slanderous. i do not blame the owner of the stpre from defending her actions. Not to mention there are plenty of other video's on the web page.



Also mrsbugi knew DAMN WELL that it would be linked. she has been here long enough (under what 5 diffrent names now?) to know how this place works. Not to mention her past posting history leads me to beleive this is nothing more then a oputurnity to show people the video without just flat out linking it.

names change but the person does not.

 

[Stuxnet]

I agree with Pizza that wedding vids are a waste. Best case scenario, it's a total bore. More likely, however, is you'll get a bunch of people on tape during their worst moments (drunk, nothing to say, perhaps even bored, etc).

Wedding pictures have no voice, and chances are, That's A Good Thing. (TM).

Of course, you know best. We had been "dealing with her" for months at that point, though she had only finally gotten back to us with the first quote. The first quote had absolutely no resemblance to what we had discussed at our meeting, was completely over budget, and even had another bride's name on it. Of course, since you're the King of Mensa, you don't worry about such piddly details, but they're important for the rest of us.

She was accusatory from the get go and yes, if you were making false claims in an email to this vendor and then stating "you will share them with others" that is both a threat and one that could warrant an attorney getting involved in. Also you may want to read up on slander and libel and how exactly they work.

Did I make any false claims? All of the evidence is right there. You may want to read what I posted before you tell me that I'm being unreasonable. But, as usual, it's simpler for you to be a know-it-all asshat giving your two cents based on nothing but ignorance.

Sounds like you had no budget and took it out on someone that needed one to work with. $1500 is not a lot of money and those used to having a real wedding budget would be hard pressed to work with that, sounds like she was just trying to hit your numbers and cut out the items that you'd rather not have cut out. When you are dealing with shoestring budgets expect to deal with associates for the clerical crap and even then don't expect the head honcho to be the one that does the deal.

$1500 is a lot for flowers, which is all we wanted from her (at least, initially). We told her what our budget was up front and she never indicated that it would be a problem. But again, since you're probably a gajillionaire who has had eight weddings, all to supermodels, you wouldn't know about such things. Seems like there's a lot you don't know about, but that doesn't keep you from interjecting ignorance.

WTF kind of review would you post when there wasn't even a deal made this sounds clearly as your wife was pissed her budget was too far outside what this vendor could deal with and blamed the vendor for that.

If I were a vendor and someone said, "I have $500 to spend on your product, what can you do," it would be absolutely unprofessional for me to A) give them a quote for something which is unrelated to what they wanted, B) completely blow their budget in the quote, and C) only later tell them that I'm not willing to work with their budget after I gave them an unreasonable quote. But, again, you're an asshole, so it's no surprise that you'd side with one of your own.

Tits or GTFO

 

[Stuxnet]

Have to agree with CycloWizard. If a vendor can't meet the requirements and budget, they should state as much. There's nothing shameful or unprofessional about telling a client "sorry, I can't deliver what you're requesting without exceeding your budget. If you're budget is flexible, let me know and we can continue."

I respect someone who cuts to the chase and helps me avoid wasting my (and their) time.

I assumed that would happen pretty soon. MrsBugi got her revenge. :laugh:


And, the funny thing is, if she had linked to the video directly, the company would have a legitimate complaint against her. So, even if it was a "look at me" video, she couldn't really link to it for everyone here to see.
