Nonsense In my Building...

I unfortunately joined a mailing list for my flat...Check out this string of emails. Know that the picture in question is of a guy in a leather outfit lying on his bed holding his dong. Its pretty sick. I got the note too...

And i live in flat 611. Nowhere near this nonsense

***
Did anyone else get a message under their door which made allegations against someone on the second floor and had a rather intimate image on it? The message left me very concerned about both who sent it and about the person in question....

-------------------------------------------
I didn't get anything...what did it say? I'd like to know if there's someone on the second floor whom i should be concerned about.


-------------------------------------------
Basically there were 2 photos of a resident on there, one of the guy looking normal and one of him looking a bit trashed while lying naked on a bed with a load of leather/fetish gear on.

There was text accusing him of being a pervert, taking drugs, specifically cocaine, and that he was hiv+.

Now shall we say I've heard lots of noises coming from the particular room so the fact that he is sexually...interesting is not a surprise to put it tactfully. Not sure what to think about the rest though. I'm even more worried if I was the only person to get it for some reason.

-------------------------------------------
That is very odd. Hopefully some more people will say whether or not they have recieved anything similar. I guess it's not so much the content of the note, (people are free to do as they please so long as doesn't effect others), it's more of a worry that you recieved it in the first place.

Maybe you could post the note under the door of the person in question with a note of your own explaining what has happened? I can't think of what else to do.

-------------------------------------------
The follwing is just my unasked for opinion.

Perhaps it's only fair to discuss this with the person in the picture rather than us lot.

Sounds like a domestic dispute gone wrong and perhaps it's illegal to put stuff like this under neighbours' doors so I suppose your neighbour could go to the police if they wanted to make a big deal out of it.

Anway if someone takes drugs or dresses up in latex that's their own business. Being noisy arguably isn't.

Other people's drama is always diverting, though, isn't it?

Maybe I should get out more.

Hi, >>

We don't live on the second floor so did not receive anything under our door. Thus, this is also my unasked opinion. It clearly sounds that this is an Ex- girlfriend/boyfriends act of revenge on a completely innocent neighbour and it is also a very personal matter. It is also a crime to intimidate anyone like this. It is also clear that some people are making uninformed judgements on here where they really should know better. What other people get up to in the privacy of their own homes is no one else's business and if you have received an unpleasant letter/photo then the decent thing to do would to privately let that poor person know about it instead of gossiping on here about it. I can imagine getting something like this under my door could be unpleasant but for people to insinuate that anyone who dresses up in fetish wear and who clearly enjoys fun sex is some how perverted and should I say "tactfully" up to no good, just basically says more about them and their sad boring sex lives and should quickly transport themselves back to Victorian times.


-----------------------------------------------
Everyone, first of all, apologies on behalf of my flatmate for this. I'm the owner of flat 216 and it's my flatmate who was pictured in the printout slipped under your door. I received it wednesday night in my letterbox and it was also slipped under my door, I confronted my flatmate on wednesday night over this and he said that it's from someone he has recently broken up with as he has also been getting abusive messages form the same person.

I'd like to emphasize that, knowing my flatmate for the last year, the allegations on the printout are not true (at least since I've known him) and were used specifically for the intention of creating damage to his reputation. he does not take drugs (except alchohol occasionally) and is not HIV+ regarding his sexual leanings, that's frankly his business, not mine or anyone elses.

I'd also like to mention to the residents of flat 215 (i presume it's yourselves that wrote the message since you are the only flat that have an ajoining wall with mine) that have written this posting that frankly, what I or my flatmate do in my own place is absolutely NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!
THIS:

"Now shall we say I've heard lots of noises coming from the particular room so the fact that he is sexually...interesting is not a surprise to put it tactfully."

...IS COMPLETELY OUT OF ORDER!! As long as it does not involve any illegal activity ie, drug abuse, crime etc (which it most definitely doesn't) and it does not harm other residents in regards to noise levels etc (which as far as I know doesn't) you have no right to make these kind of statements.

Unfortunately this incident could have happened to anyone, and lets face it, can we all say that we've ended every single relationship on a happy note? ( I seem to recall someone on the 5th floor had an egg stuffed in their letterbox not so long ago?) After talking to him about what went on with this situation there is no way that he could have contolled this or prevented this - especially as it's so easy to gain entry to the building. Once again I am deeply sorry that this person has involved other people (including myself) into this problem and sorry on his behalf that people had to see the images on the printout (me included). He will be coming round to apologise personally to the residents near my flat tonight. Additionally, he will be leaving at the end of the month anyway (not due to this issue) but because he has bought a place of his own

regards,
Nathan Stewart
(owner of flat 216)

Firstly Nathan, no I do not live in flat 215, or indeed on the second floor.

Secondly, I'm annoyed that people are accusing me of being some kind of prude for being tactful. Maybe when you're the one lying there on Sunday morning listening to voices from flat 216 begging some guy to rape him and use him, then you'll start getting a bit prudish.

-------------------------------------------------------------
since it seems as though this issue is resolved maybe we can all happily let it go without contributing any more bad feeling to the discussion


-------------------------------------------------------------
I should like to remind residents that if they have a noise problem from one of their neighbours then what they should do in the first instance is approach them privately about it. They probably are totally unaware that others can hear them. Again this wed-site should not be used to sort out personal matters/disputes.

> >

For the attention of "Itookthisaddress", if you truly thought someone was being raped then you should have called the police but I'm sure this is not the case. Again I should like to remind you that what other people get up to in their own sex lives and the privacy of their own homes is their own business. If you have a noise problem then follow my advice and let your neighbour know about it privately. Please do not use this web-site for malice gossip or bad mouthing. It is not the place for it.

-------------------------------------------------------------
As a final note to "itookthisaddress" and in addition to the previous message from ray burnside, if you did have a problem with noise you should have contacted me first. the last few messages you've written on here have been personal and simply written to try(unsuccessfully) to embarrass me/my flatmate. It seems that all it's doing is to put YOU in a negative light amongst the other residents here and showing YOU to be a rather nasty and spiteful person.

Flat 215 is the only flat that ajoins to mine as the rest of my flat borders on the entrance hall and the 2nd floor corridor flats above and below are protected by a rather thick layer of concrete. if in the unlikely event that you are not from 215 then at least have the courage to speak to me face to face or to name yourself. As I previously mentioned, if there was a noise problem it should have been brought to my attention long ago and I would have happily turned down music etc if that was the case. I can't rectify a complaint if I don't know about it!

This incident is not something my flatmate could have possibly prevented but he is doing everything in his power right now to rectify the situation. This is a personal matter between my flatmate, his ex and now the police, who I am sure, will sort the problem out. As mentioned before, I regret that this situation has affected other people in the building as well as myself but it is nothing that could have been prevented, and my flatmate is currently making sure that this won't happen again

Dear Residents of Courtenay House,

My name is Peter Stafford and I would firstly like to apologise to all those who received flyers with my name on them on Wednesday.

The messages on these flyers are false. This, as my flat mate Nathan has said, has been done by an ex bearing a grudge after a break up, who is only trying to make life difficult for me.

I have reported this matter to the police who are currently investigating this, and will be charging the person(s). responsible. I am to say the least, embarrased due to the delicate nature of the photograph, and would particularly like to apologise to any familes who received this with kids in the house.

If anybody has any information about this, or saw someone in the building on Wednesday, or even just wants to talk to somebody about any concerns about this, please contact the police and quote the Crime Reference number at the top of this note, and they will be happy to take your calls.

Although I may sound indignant with this note, my first priority is to make sure that this does not happen again I'm sure you will understand.

Many Thanks
