Author Topic: Threats from the 13 year old Andrew McCrea Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-02-2001 05:43 PM                     To all Film-Tech members. Beware of this kid The 13 year old Andrew McCrea from Winnipeg, Canada has just notified me that he will be taking legal action against any Film-Tech member who sends him email. Mr.McCrea has been known to use such email addresses as: andrew_mccrea@hotmail.com hollywood_central@hotmail.com j_mm5@hotmail.com mccoolkid@hotmail.com greatthespian@hotmail.com retarded_eugene@hotmail.com am_pages@hotmail.com scumball_sucker@hotmail.com mr_pariyah@hotmail.com and most recently... grandcameo@hotmail.com Since he is no longer a part of this forum and obviously has no way to get this important threat out to all of the members of Film-Tech, I feel it is my duty to warn the community of his presently known email addresses so as to beware of this horrible threat that will undoubtedly be affecting all of our lives and our profession. I hope everyone can still manage to sleep at night.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-02-2001 05:52 PM                        No!!!! I knew we shouldn't have messed with this kid I just knew it! This time we have bitten off more than we can chew and now Andrew McCrea will use his mighty powers to make us all pay! It's a shame that we'll probably all eventually go to jail. Film-Tech was fun while it lasted. Who would have thought that this little kid would bring us to our knees?  |  IP: Logged William T. Parr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 823 From: Cedar Park, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 06-02-2001 06:11 PM                     I find this interesting Brad since he sent me an e-mail this past week asking for my Excel spreadsheets I had made up for My Dream 10 screen. I sent him the copies per his request and wished him luck with his endeavor. He sent back an e mail thanking me for sending him the info... Wonder what he is really up too.... Gald I did not discard his e mail and can use it to my advantage if he sues me.  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash. USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 06-02-2001 06:41 PM                     Why would he take any legal action against us? What's his problem? What have we done???? I know that he posts at the Bigscreenbiz and Motion Picture Exhibitor's forums now.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-02-2001 08:19 PM                     very odd he emailed me today in a very civil manner with a very honest technical question considering I was the first to bear the brunt of his wrath. I hope this does not start another hate/email war. If it does then there will probably be some serious consequences  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-02-2001 08:39 PM                     I don't know what his problem is. The email was so poorly worded that the sentences were not clear. The only thing that was clear was his threat which I posted above. If he was 20 years older, I'd say he's losing his marbles "upstairs", but due to his age, I think it's just pure immaturity. Regardless, he seemed to want to get his threat out to the members of Film-Tech, so there you have it. I personally couldn't much care less (as was signified by the icon.)  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 06-03-2001 12:12 AM                     I must have missed the kid's heated exchanges since I joined the forum only a couple months ago. Like most people, I have a distaste for trolls, even if it comes from a snotty, little 13 year old. I'll copy those e-mail addresses into my killfile. Thanks for the notice.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-03-2001 01:55 AM                     Although I have had little, if any, contact from Andrew. I would like it known publicly that I wish to have nothing to do with him either. I have said before, I have a couple of younger relatives that are smart and enthusiastic like Andrew but their energy often gets the best of them and they become difficult to deal with. Someday I hope that he'll be a productive, successful adult but for now I don't think I want to receive any e-mail from him.  |  IP: Logged James R. Hammonds, Jr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 931 From: Houston, TX, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 06-03-2001 03:35 AM                     I also find this odd and disapointing since up until this threat, i really had no problem with him and actually tried to stand up for him at one point. i guess its just an age and maturity thing. hopefully hell grow up one day and possibly earn his way back on the forum as a respectable member. this shouldnt be for another few years of course, since hes got a few years till he even turns 16.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Carter Expert Film Handler Posts: 248 From: Gloucester, Massachusetts, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 06-03-2001 01:23 PM                     Thats odd, Andrew just added me to his MSN messenger account. If he doesn't want anything to do with us, why is he making contact? It doesn't really matter to me, if he wants to talk I will. I just don't understand....  |  IP: Logged Frank Rapisardi Film Handler Posts: 96 From: Methuen, MA, USA Registered: Apr 2000 posted 06-03-2001 02:57 PM                     Andrew;"I really don't think there is much to worry about. He's just being a kid;granted a pain in the...kid.If someone could contact his parents somehow;that might put a stop to this bull." There is no way that any court would hear a case like this.I don't think anything will come of it. As he matures;if he does he may change!Hopefully for the better. ------------------  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 06-03-2001 05:44 PM                     IMHO, I think Andrew is just looking for attention. The more attention we give him, the more he will try and pull this crap on us. Just ignore him. In due time, he'll probably go away.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-03-2001 07:53 PM                     Of course the "kid" will have to come down here to hire an attourney in law if he wants to sue us. I doubt that he has the $$ to do that and I also doubt that anyone would take him seriously anyway. Mark  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 06-03-2001 09:08 PM                     Yeah - I heard of someone who tried to sue another person in Oregon for "Passing Gas In His Direction" at the conclusion of an arguement. (this actually made the news media) The Judge sided with the First Amendment and dismissed the case, and called it "Freedom of Self-Expression."  |  IP: Logged
