Just let me know I should let it go, Vito - clearly, you can't



This is not a "personal vendetta".  I am not the only person "who gives a shit".

Thanks for your phone call.

GO Transit Security tweeted this today.

There is no conspiracy. Just do the right thing and keep your shoes off the seats when you're on the train. The train is not your personal space. You don't own the train. Your fare does not entitle you to be such a self-entitled ignoramus. Your fare entitles you to a safe ride to and from work. That is all.

Further concerns can be addressed with GO Transit Security directly. I can guarantee you will not find one officer who will pat you on the head and agree your actions were justified. It doesn't need to be printed on a wall, "or handed out in a flyer".

How about you just be a courteous person?

Now, go find a puppy and hug it real tight until you feel better.

Did shit just get real, CJ?

Yes but I'm shutting the shit down.
I take a risk when I take such a position and the risk is backlash.
Vito and I need to go our separate ways. I'm walking away now.

Vito is a pussy. Textbook "internet tough guy".

George said...

Vito, you're such a turd.

Go try and find a brain and then report back. We'll wait.

Gross... I think GO should take some of our fare hike and put it towards cleaning costs. *sigh*

He actually had the guts to call you?

MATT said...

Just noticed the "let it go" part of the blog title...made me think of this. My daughter digs this movie.

Yes. He called. Very self-righteous. Combative. Arrogant. I hung up. He called back. I let it go to voicemail. He actually said. "No one hangs up on me".

Oy. I have to end it. You guys will get bored real quick and I will just come off as petty.

But I thought he didn't want you to bother to reply...and now he's phoning twice?

MATT said...

Ironic that he called you to harass you, after having his family member email you about the perils of harassment.

C.J. Smith said...

He phoned because he was angry that I "took it to the website". Now it's "beyond email".

It was beyond email when he published his picture on Instagram.

People in this share everything world don't understand private and privacy.

The internet is not private.

Huh. I was letting this one slide, but now, all I can think of is the blatantly Italian name, his use of the word "family" and the "friends" associated with the legal world. All this leads me to think that he could be in the mob.

Of course, probably isn't, but I am over-worked and tired and the imagination is running wild while dealing with legislation.

Maybe when he and his wife both grow up (and really, when is under-age marriage legal in Canada) they will realise that threatening people because they pointed out bad behaviour, posted PUBLICLY on the interwebs, is never the thing to do. But then again, when that happens, what will I read when I need the mental break?

This is my Friday afternoon entertainment....man......this Vito guy is really bored...

Vito, how did it work out putting our shoes on your home furniture last night?

Did the Mrs. just "let it go"?

Feel free to let Vito call all of us independently to make his claim? Always innocent until proven guilty. I'll easily provide him with my phone #, would love the chance to chat with him. #BarrieLine

Bicky said...

For someone who didn't want a reply, he sure is keen on keeping it going. Dude needs to buy a clue.

Walk away.... breathe, enjoy the mild weekend we're going to have!

Can't you post the audio recording of his voicemail of here for all of us to laugh at?
That'd be awesome!

C.J. Smith said...

His vm is one line in response to me hanging up on him. "NO ONE HANGS UP ON ME". Click.

this Vito just wants attention...he just can't stop himself from getting that 15min of fame on this blog...

C.J. Smith said...

Oh he got his 15 minutes and then some...

First off, I'm not condoning Vito's actions, but quite frankly some of the comments related to the Vito posts have been EXTREMELY mean spirited.

It is one thing to point out that someone's behaviour is socially unacceptable, like I'm pointing out that personal attacks are not unacceptable, but quite another to attack a person's intelligence, race, wife, mother, family, etc. Unfortunately, that is bullying and hypocrisy all at the same time.

I agree, Vito's response was NOT in good taste/judgment, but that does not give anyone credence to stoop to that level to show that their actions were socially unacceptable, while at the same time violating a whole bunch of other acceptable social norms: like treating each other with R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

George said...

You earn respect with me. Vito didn't do that.

Therefore, he is a turd.
