r

email 2

him

again, u did not have my permission to print. and use
my name. and use my copyrighted website. take it off.

or i’ll take legal action on you.

r

  1. O_o talk about brown-nosing and creepy combined eh?

  2. lol. this isn’t the first time i’ve heard of r pestering ppl out of the blue to give him $. now i’ve heard this a few too many times. lol.

    welcome back hui we missed you

  3. whoa…he asked you to pay as supporting him out of the blue that is silly! doesn’t he have a job to support his website?

  4. he doesnt have a job :)

  5. Even if Ridor decides to take legal action, how will he pay for it? Every lawyer will demand cash upfront. I say keep it on there. Let Ridor try to prove himself that he’s HARMED by what he says. Stand up to him. He’s bullied his last blogger. He’ll understand we won’t be pushed around.

  6. ha. ridor is full of something ;) i never agreed to design his site in full and he hasn’t offered payment… really have nothing to do with him anymore and haven’t heard from him in months.

  7. *gasp*!

    now i wonder if his cat really died after all ?

  8. Ive heard him pester many many of my friends for funds, sadly he knows some of the same people I do. Ironic that he always asks them for JUST $25. He probably hopes to get $25 from each one.

    He even offered several of my friends nude pictures of deaf guys that he knows for the $25. The boy has hit rock bottom.

  9. dear readers… should i submit this to deafread for the heck of it ? LOL

  10. I dont think deafread will run this. They are trying to protect their image.

  11. Oh. I am disappointed to read of this. I have given him about $100. I gave him 40 for website using exact same story of dead cat and not able to pay a website developer to complete the new website. Then he asked for $25 for his parents’ Christmas gift from Walmart. He claimed that he just started a new job and that his paycheck will not arrive for a while. Then I got another plea for $100 for god-knows what. I commenced a self-imposed exile from internet to stay away from his incessant pleas for funds. Then when I decided to get on-line, there he was. He gave me a story about Drew Gutches, exactly the same as above. He found another friend replacing Drew who will fix his website. I gave him $20. I am a softie and a snookered person. Not going to contribute to him for a long time, no matter how passionate his pleas are. I did wonder about his close friends and what was up with that.

  12. not surprised, he has been doing this for a year and half. Sad to see him to go down but a price to pay when he puts down others. He owes me and a lot of my friends money but he use pay pal as an excuse to say we donated. what goes around must comes around.

    *sigh*…. tsk tsk tsk…….

  13. yeah, dont give that bum any money. he’ll just go and blow it on his “habit”

  14. His “habit,” want to elaborate for us?

  15. heh…

  16. Ridor interesting in hearing women’s college basketball by posting in discussion room and avoid deaf?

    http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:VFJLdWQ32U0J:www.thesabre.com/message_board/womens_basketball/+ridor+2008+sabre&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us

  17. What habit? Who really is supporting his habits?

    tsk tsk tsk…

  18. oh no.. do we have to go there?

  19. I think we should go there, maybe Tim will spill some beans? Will he?

  20. its rather easy to draw a conclusion. simply look at the many clues/hints.

    1. no money
    2. asking diferent people frequently for small donations for reasons that have been proven false.
    3. had previously boasted of substantial weight loss.

    so what kind of habit makes you broke, induces significant weight loss, and forces you to constantly ask people for small donations that you do not wish to disclose the true reason why?

  21. what is coke? or what is crystal methe? how many point do i get? and what prize???

  22. This was the talk of the gay/lesbian coffee social in DC. Everyone was talking about Ridor and his drug use. Even his “so called” friends were spilling the beans about his habit.

  23. Has he sued you yet?

  24. Been hit up for a yet another 25 dollars to pay “Dan” for final repairs on his blog last Friday or Saturday and asked another 50 for living expenses (whatever that may be). He claimed that the ridorlive blog will be back on on Monday only if he gets that 25 dollars. What did you think my response was? Yeah. He was told off. He has not contacted me again. I am not on his dwindling snooker list. Hope he reads this and elsewhere and get help for his addiction if it is true. He does have many psychological issues that needed to be worked out. I hope so because he is a human being that can do plenty of good for the Deaf community when he is straightened out. I am not his close friend but if anyone of you are, you should be encouraging him to get help. He probably listens only to those close to him, not those on the snooker list.

    Thanks,

    Snookered……

  25. ridor is fucked says:

    i think it d great if you guys spread the words and warn your friends about that ricky taylor has been mooching people. he never stop mooching.

    speak of sue, i don’t think he will sue you cuz he already know that he s totally fucked up.
