Various Topics on Billy Joel

....

Dear Daniel Bod-

Before yesterday, I had made ZERO communications to you in 2003. Yes,
I did impersonate you in the past, but I have not done so at all
since, nor have I made any communication towards you this past year.
You have obviously been having problems with people in here and in TV
game show newsgroups (I could never watch a tv game show - such drivel
would bore me to death). Anyway, Mr. Bod, I have no desire to waste my
time on you - ever. You are quite mistaken when you accuse me of
impersonating you and others here.

No, I have NOT been posting here, as you pointed out. The reason is
that you have destroyed it, and the newsgroup is unreadable because of
your constant spamming and hate messages. This stopped being about
Billy Joel years ago because of one person - Daniel Bod - and his
constant spamming and antigay slurs.

Yes, I moderated a queer panel at Whitman College. So what? Why don't
you admit you're gay/bi***ual? I've never seen anyone so obsessed with
one man - ever before in my life. Whether you are in denail or not
about your feelings, I know enough from what I see to recognize that
you suffer from erotomania, a delussional disorder (DSM IV) in which
the afflicted (Daniel Bod) relentlessly pursues the notion that the
object of his/her affection (Billy Joel) reciprocates his/her romantic
feelings and/or fantasies. It's ok to be that way. It doesn't mean you
are a monster. Lots of people suffer from erotomania, mostly females,
but most don't take it to a level where their object of their
affections is endangered. And despite yoru real life stalking his
daughter Alexa in the mid-late 90's, I honeslty believe your feelings
for Mr. Joel are harmless. What bothers me, though is that you go on
and on posting all this gay hate ****, when you yourself obviously
have very strong feelings for at least one man (Billy Joel) and I
imagine probably other older men with dark hair or features similar to
Mr. Joel's. It's ok to be gay. You don't have to hate yourself, and
attacking everyone online you disagree with as gay will not change the
way you feel about certain men - ever. So I suggest you maybe try to
find some support group in Long Island to help you cope with these
obviously unwanted feelings of yours. Billy won't hate you. After all,
he tours with the world's most famous gay man quite obsessively.

Yes, those were my addresses you posted. Notice the past tense "were."
I have not lived there in over 3.5 years. Rather poor detective work.
I have a HOUSE *and* an APARTMENT in Walla Walla now. I always use a
private address for mailings and have gone to length to protect my
privacy from psychotic online stalkers, so have luck trying to find
where I actually live.
People have complained, but I have never recieved any reprimand from
my school - and certainly not from any local authorities! Too funny -
what the deuce would the "local authorites" say? "Dan from Long Island
is mad at you. Be good."? Please!
College, I have never used any of those other Whitman addresses. Why do you
make up such ridiculous nonsense? Those belong to the college
president, a dean of faculty, and a chief of technology services?
(sigh). Go email them. They are used to psychotic individuals
har***ing them about me; you certainly did it enough in the past. I
have done nothing wrong. I have not made those anonymous posts you
accuse me of. Go on. I doubt you'll get a reply. I have unfortunately
been victim to smear campaigns in the past, and they have learned to
take wild accusations from strange people from distant lans *** grano
salis (with a grain of salt).
Whitman College costs $33,770 a year. It consistently ranks in the Top
40 of all colleges. We currently have TWO national debate champions
here. Whitman College is as close to an Ivy League college as you can
get in the Pacific Northwest. I would honestly be very surprised if
you could ever get here, but you are welcome to apply.
No, I didn't. This is the SECOND post I have made in this newsgroup in
2003. Who was it? You? Grant?
I reguarly post in about 7 newsgroups. What's your point? I would
never use racial or homophobic slurs, unlike you, who because he can't
deal with his erotomania for billy Joel, writes hundreds of antigay
slurs every week on various newsgroups and forums. You need to learn
some respect for diversity. I post under the names
oelerijj@whitman.edu and iceonfire_1982@hotmail.com - nothing else in
the last year.
I stopped posting in here in late December because of relentless
har***ment from YOU. I have not posted in here since. Meanwhile, I
have made hundreds of postings in several other newsgroups. I only
posted again because you slurred my name. I am allowed to correct your
misinformation.
Good. Now try not to har*** me again. Go on talking to yourself with
your sock puppets.

It was bad enough that you went after Billy Joel's daughter in 1998.
Maritime music had to write you an email threatening police action -
quite unprecedented - were you to continue stalking his daughter,
Alexa Joel, who was then a very young child. They were worried you
would abduct or rape her. (Here is the original posting from April
1998 made by a BethaniePA - many people can confirm this 5 year old
Warning Letter to Dan is legit:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...&output=gplain
- reproduced at the bottom of this post.) That's very disturbing to my
mind that you would try to rape and/or adduct Billy Joel's small child
to try and bring you closer to him. Now you have targeted me for your
irrational hatred? Why? You want my BJ live recordings?? Dude, I
haven't communicated with you in almost EIGHT months. Why bring up
this old nonsense? Please stop this, ok? You are nothing to me, and I
wont' be wasting my time writing you another letter again, so please
quit har***ing me.

And you are quite wrong. You have made a mistake. Apology accepted -
now quit obsessing over me. Go make another Billy Joel web site.

The following statement is the official response from Maritime Music
regarding
Dan6971's posting:

We are writing in response to several postings from Dan6971 which have
come to
our attention. Please be advised that although we don't participate
in chat
groups or post regular messages, we do monitor what the rest of you
are
saying. In general, our impression is that you are all good people
who share
a fun common interest. At Mr. Joel's instruction and in accordance
with his
wishes, we try to accommodate fan requests whenever possible.
However, as you
all know, this does not include backstage p***es or personal meetings
with Mr.
Joel.

What has us particularly worried is the idea that Dan thinks it would
be OK to
track down Alexa Joel at school as a means of meeting her father.
This is
incredibly disturbing for several reasons. For starters, she is a
small child
who is entitled to privacy in her own right. Mr. Joel has made every
effort
to ensure that she is not bothered or approached by his admirers.
After all,
she did not ask to have famous parents. We can't think of anything
worse than
trying to use a child to get to someone else. Further, no matter how
much you
may want to meet Billy Joel, shake his hand or hang out with him,
remember
that he is also entitled to privacy, especially when he is with his
daughter.
So, our message to Dan and anyone else who thinks this is a good idea
is that
we have already notified her school about the possibility of a
stranger
calling for schedules or trying to attend school events and that if
anyone
attempts to go there, the authorities (police) will be notified. End
of
discussion.

Maritime Music, Inc.

Thanks again.
