So a few months after re-acquiring Gigan Species, I received an email in response to the changes I made and adding my side of the story. Sadly, it was from Des' tool of a husband Chris. I say 'sadly' because regardless of how close he may be to Des, HE doesn't know everything that went on, the only people who really know what went on between myself and Des is Myself and Des... and yet instead of her acting like the big bad hardcore metalhead independent stand-alone woman she brags about being, she lets her tool try to take a stab at me. This says that either she's too scared to come at me directly, and/or knows what I say is true and any response from her would just prove my point... and get her response publicly shredded like Chris' letter is about to be. Justifiable concerns, but still says a lot about Des.

Actually I figured if there was half a brain cell
between the two of you, you'd understand the concept
of tit-for-tat and leave the issue alone. Des tried
to erase me from this site and lock me out, I took it
back. Deal with it. I COULD have just winked her off
the site but I didn't. I left her contact info, her
name, what little art she had and the stories she
wrote. If I wanted to be as petty as she is, I would
have removed her completely. Be glad I only added my
side of the story, I COULD have done much much worse.
Salivating at the mouth? Understand this if you can,
I don't know if I could care any less about the two of
you. I, in all honesty, don't want to keep fighting with the two of
you. But since you insist on starting crap, I'm
obliged to finish it, it doesn't take
long for me to rip you a new one.
I'm sure your smug little world just crumbled in
on you when you clicked on Gigan Species to gloat
about how you 'got one over on me' and were greeted by
the new Red-Black cover and new collage. To elicit
this email from you, it must have rocked your world.
It MUST have because if Des is too scared to write me and had
you do it, it must have been mighty traumatic.
I strike you as the type huh? I'm sure I do, because
the two of you have convinced yourselves that I'm a
horrible monger and you two are oh-so innocent and
never did anything wrong at all. Please. You strike
me as the same as any other internet nerd who loves to
talk big because you know there's 5 states separating
us.

Let me explain something to you in the simplest terms
Chris, I'll go slowly so you understand... When you buy
something (or in my case, sign up for something) you get something
called a receipt. If you need to return it, or if there's a problem with it,
you bring the receipt and they give you a refund because the
receipt tells them the item is yours. When you get
webspace you get a confirmation email. This states
that you registered the space and confirms that you
own it. So, know what I did when I discovered Des had
changed the password, posted my personal business and tried to
erase me from Gigan Species? I sent an email to FC saying "Hey, someone
changed my password without my authorization, please
send me the correct login info so I can make the
necessary corrections.

*Here's my rconfirmation.*

So stop wondering how many emails it took for me to
get it back because I'll tell you:
it took one.
Not a barrage, just one, although I'm sure it makes you feel
all warm and fuzzy to imagine I sent a flood of emails
wringing my hands in despair. Hey if that gets you
off then enjoy the fantasy.
It makes me laugh that you thought
I'd NEED to send a barrage of emails to get back a
website I made, but not as much as thinking about the
hissy fit the two of you must have had
when you first realized I took the site back. And you can
sit there and say you didn't have a hissy fit, but you're
the one who sent the angry email all full of piss and vinegar.

>
> Oh well, on to the point of this email. You said you
> wanted to present "your" side of the story. That
> would have been fine.
Clearly it WASN'T 'fine', because here you are writing
me... and if you were really fine with it, Des would have
presented it on her website AS IS.

>However, you took it upon
> yourself to berate my wife to do it! Pretty sad man.
Believe me Chris so far, very few things I've seen are
sadder than this email you've sent me.

Anywho, I took it upon myself? Let's get something
straight right now Chris, there wouldn't have been any need for
me to post ANYTHING if Des hadn't decided to make
things between the two of us public. When you do
something stupid like that, don't get mad because I
decide to put the rest of the story up and present the
things she conveniently omitted. Don't
cry when I post things you didn't want posted because it
shatters the whole 'woe is me' tale that she decided
to make people choke down. Please. Understand that I
did not start this, she did.

You're mad because I 'berated' your wife? If by
berating you mean I showed her for what she was, then
yes, I suppose I did. Tough, I didn't say anything that wasn't
glaringly obvious to anyone who's had to deal with one of
Des' hissy fits when she doesn't get her way.

And hey, since we're laying things out, let me say
plainly; Des is a spoiled brat who loves to
act tough, then falls suddenly silent when she's
called on it. She like to try to be slick and then get
mad when when she's 1-upped. Oh, and she is now
officially an art thief. You know, I would care less about
that if she wasn't stealing *my* work (uh-oh, there I go crying
again, how DARE I be mad that my work was blatantly
stolen!).
Good Lord Chris, is Des deficient? Did she really
think I wouldn't notice not one but TWO of my pieces
stolen and posted on DA? I let the pic of Gogar go, but
egads, is she going to trace and post every sketch I've ever
sent her?
So go ahead and say that I'm a crying whiner for
reporting Des. I'm sure you'd get mad if she was
robbing a bank and got arrested. How DARE those jerk
cops take your precious Des in and punish her for
being an idiot. And that judge who sentenced her to
jail, well he was just a big immature jerk having a
temper tantrum, nyah!!

It's amazing how you have no problem when she does
something that's so blatantly wrong and then get
pissed when there are repercussions. You were fine
with her changing the password to the Giganspecies
site, you were fine with her removing my website address and
email, and I'm sure you don't have a problem with her
stealing my art and posting it as her own. That just
makes you the perfect peon.
Way to go Lenny, c'mere and let me tell you about the rabbits.

> As I recall,
You recall what she tells you to recall, get out of here.

>she only said two things negative
> towards you. She said, "Never there" and "potty
> mouth". But man, your response was full of attacks!
She sure did, and in my response I set the record
straight. She said I was 'never there for anyone',
and I showed that I was. She said I was a 'potty
mouth', and now the letter I sent her that's
supposedly 'full of swears' is posted for all to see.
I've even highlighted the 'swears', the big whopping
three of them. Don't get pissed at me because of it.
Full of attacks? Oh, you mean like calling her an art
thief? Check out her DA page, that picture of Gogar
she stole and is claiming to be her art has already
been reported, as well as Flash Budgie. Good Lord, if
I had known she was going to be that dumb I would have
watermarked every picture, sketch and doodle I ever sent her.

Hum, maybe you mean attacks like me giving her credit
for exposing GvsT so it got that award, or me saying
she introduced me to some cool Metal, or how about
where I said the run was fun while it lasted... you mean THOSE attacks?
Wait, maybe you mean the attacks like me saying how
she hates being ignored, or that she acts like a spoiled
brat when she doesn't get her way, how she tried to
buy her Admin status on KW and got pissed when I said
"no" because she obviously didn't LISTEN when I told her I
was shutting the board down? Go ahead, tell me I'm
lying when the proof is sitting right on this site for
everyone to see. Oh yes, silly me, you can say
whatever you want on that mirrored site because you'd rather people
just get your side of the story. And as I told
Des' little peon who wrote me, at no point did I say
she 'hacked' gigan species. Good lord, she just loves
to flatter herself doesn't she? To hack you have to
crack a password, I GAVE her the bloody password to
giganspecies genius. Des has a better shot at being a hacker as
you do of winning the bronze in female gymnastics.
I said :
"And if she tries to hack into this site, or
tries to sneak in and take over in some underhanded
manner, then I'll take it back again."
Learn how to read and understand what's being said in the correct
context. It doesn't imply that Des hacked the original
password, it states that if she tries to hack into the
CURRENT state of the website and pull her crap, I'll
just take it back again.
It's sad that I have to spoon-feed this to you.

> You sounded like a bossy little child that didn't
> have things go his way and now is pointing fingers.
Get it straight Chris, I didn't point fingers, I
turned peoples' heads towards both sides of the story
and told them to decide on their own. Des said "He
was mean to me, believe me because *I* said so!" And
seeing as how that's how her mirror site has remained,
it's pretty obvious who's doing the finger pointing
and wants it to remain that way without both sides
being presented. I can't blame her, most people who
make blanket statements with no proof look stupid when
the person they're complaining about comes back with their side
of things AND proof... most people don't want that public.
And do tell Chris, how did things not go my way? I have my side of
things posted on Gigan Species, I have my original
website up and running. Kaiju Wars is gone and it was the best
possible thing that could happen. Des' little replica
of THAT bombed too. Does the girl have ANY original
thoughts of her own?

> Whaa whaa!! All your remarks sounded pretty immature
> to me, but you had the temerity to say Des was
> childish??
Of course they sounded immature to you, because in
your head you think Des is the victim, the Virgin
Mary, she can do no wrong, and it just rocks your
socks that I not only stated what happened and what I
thought, but I backed up my words with undisputable
proof. You know what's immature and childish to me
Chris? Going into a website that was supposed to
belong to us both and changing the password, then
writing a one-sided rant about me after erasing my
email and web address. Know what's even MORE
childish? Copying the entire website and uploading it
to your webspace to make sure the people you direct
there can't read my responses setting the record
straight. And seriously, if she's going to steal an
ENTIRE website, she needs to get off her duff and take
down MY artwork and do her own because I certainly
don't want my work on her webspace. But that doesn't
matter to her, because hey, why take down the art
that's generating compliments for you when you didn't
do it but can take credit for it? And if she wants
me to take her work off Gigan Species then all she has
to do is say the word and it's gone.

> As people read "your side" of things, they will see
> that it is you who has temper tantrums. Pretty full
> of venom you are, but then again, Serpentus is one
> of your characters.
Funny you say this, because all the people Des is
redirecting to her propaganda mirror site won't have a
chance to read my side of the situation, only her sob
story.

And the people who visit this site, the original site,
can see whatever they want. That's why I put my
side up in the first place, I even copied Des' new
updated rant and put it up here. But isn't it funny
how my response is missing from Des' stolen version of Gigan
Species? You can sit there and say "We don't want
your temper tantrum on there.' but the truth of the
matter is, whether or not the two of you want to admit
it, what I posted shows what happened and
explains what was really going on, and the idea of Des
NOT being the victim just eats you up inside.
As for being like Serpentuss, hey when a snake is
cornered, it lashes out. I don't strike unless you
piss me off. Remember, I wouldn't have said JACK if
Des had just kept her mouth shut and not drug our
personal crap into public in the first place. But she
had to go and post her 'Woe is me, Tom's so mean' bullcrap,
so don't get pissed at me because I presented the other side of the
story. And you seem to keep conveniently forgetting
that I say repeatedly throughout the response that I
expect people to draw their OWN conclusions, to read
both sides and decide for themselves. Don't act
like I was telling people they HAD to believe what I
was putting out there. I just made sure I had
evidence backing up what I wrote.

> Oh, and what's wrong with you using private emails
> between you and Des?? Way out of line, Thomas.
Oh wait, you mean out of line like Des talking about
my Grandmother and Niece dying on a public website?
THAT'S perfectly acceptable to you, but God forbid someone
talk about her personal issues. You know what's out
of line Chris, bringing my family business out in public when
up to that point I hadn't said ANYTHING about Des in any public
forum. And believe me, I've had many MANY opportunities to do so.
Don't start the waterworks when I put everything else out
there for people to see.

Heck, I thought Des and I were cool after we talked a
few times on AIM. She showed me her sketches of
Kroenen and I gave her some shading tips, and then she
goes and posts my personal stuff online? Whatever man.
Now that DES' personal crap is out there proving my
points, suddenly YOU have a problem with it?
Get out of my face.
If Des had put simply:
"Spaceghidorah and I are no longer collaborating on
Gigan Species, I'm going to upload what I have left
and hopefully he will do the same." I wouldn't have
had a problem. But don't sit there and say "Oh Tom's
Grandmother and Niece died and I was there for him, he
was NEVER there for ANYONE!" and then conveniently leave
out how I was there for her when Joel died or when her father
insisted he was dying and suddenly wanted to talk to her
amongst the MANY other issues she's had with her family,
school, music, art and personal health.

And if you don't like me posting our emails then that
sucks for you because they're not going anywhere. If
I didn't post them I'm sure your email to me would
have just said "You're lying, such and such never
happened!" And now you can't because I put it out
there for everyone, which I'm sure is the main thing
prompting that sad mirror site.

> People can get into big trouble for that kind of
> thing.
No Chris, they can't. Point something out in those
emails that could get me in trouble. You can't.
People post emails all the time Chris. Ever been to a
bad trader/buyer forum and see that not only do people
post emails, they post peoples' emails, home addresses
and phone numbers. I've done nothing of the sort and
even if I did you couldn't do anything about it. I
posted proof to my points.

>Oh, and you used Des' real name at least once
> in your "rant" as she accidentally used yours in her
> explanation. How conveniently spiteful of you.
Are you serious? That's the best you can do?
Sweet Googly Chris, unlike Des, I don't give a crap if
people know my real name. It's Thomas Gilbert II, sunshine, I
could care less if it's publicly online. Des is the one
who seems paranoid about people finding out that she's
a girl or that her name's Rosanna. What is she,
Rumplestiltskin?
Like it's some big mystery, like
anyone who really wanted to know her name couldn't look on
Michael Hubbard's Godzilla vs. Destroyah site and find
it there. As if they wouldn't see it if they looked
at her listing on Kaiju Direct, like they wouldn't say
to themselves 'Oh, the girl who draws kaiju kids has a
piece in G-Fan that states her name! It's not some big
mysterious thing, it's not something anyone who has
decent cognitive facilities couldn't figure out on
their own, so get over it.
What, is she wanted by the government or something?
Don't worry, while art theft IS a crime I don't think
the undercover agents are going to be breaking down your
door for stealing my drawing of Gogar and Flash
Budgie, or for taking credit for fan characters I made
that she could never officially use anyway.

Well there's an overly conservative estimate if there ever was
one, whatever makes you cover your mouth and giggle Chris.

>will just instantly believe you're right. I
I swear Chris, it would be easier for me to just write
a Faq and point you to the relevant sections because
I'm sick of repeating myself. Write
me again and that's exactly what I'll do because your
complaints are all pointing to the same response.
Now, what did I just say? I put my side up so people
can read it and come to their own conclusions. If you
can't grasp that by now then you never will.

> don't think so. Oh, and your line by line analysis,
> how thorough! Just shows you got a lot of time on

I sure do! While I'm at work I can get my work done
AND do my stuff on the side. That's the only reason
I'm bothering with a response at all, I figured I
should take a break from my other ideas and play with
fan-stuff again, which first entails me dealing with
you guys. Updating the site only took two or three
days after work to scan and whatnot, my responses to
you and Des' peon only took one lunch break :)

>I take it that you are still
> unemployed...?
Ooooo, he went there! Good job, I give you points for
trying. But to answer your jab no I'm not unemployed,
I'm an art director for a printing company in NYC. Tit
for tat Chris, is your parents' restaurant still dead?
Is the other business still failing? Are you still
teaching the kiddies how to twang a gee-tar? Did Des'
get fired from her pet store yet (because I'm sure she works in one),
or has it gone out of business?

>I guess you think that since you put
> together such a great report and came off so
> venomous, people will just follow you?
Thank God you're not a lawyer Chris, what in the world
would you do when your client's buried by evidence
against them? Say the other lawyer's out of line? Tell
them to remove such proof NOW? How DARE someone
present a tighter case than the slop-job you put
together.
Did you read ANY of the first part of my
response?
If that's what you're thinking then obviously you
didn't. I already reposted it for you earlier in
this response. Go back and read it... No no, you
know what,
because you'll probably get lost and need a bloody
road map, I'll cut and paste it again JUST for
you Chris, here you go:
I do, however, care that you have a chance to read both sides and come to your own conclusion. If you read this and say "Wow, Spaceghidorah's a jerk!" then whatever. I expect you to think for yourselves, look at both sides, and decide what you think. Look at everything, there are things Des sadly didn't include in her 'explanation', but I imagine the emails I provide will be very interesting reading.. Anything irrelevant has been removed, as will be indicated by extra dots "...." Originally I thought posting actual emails was overkill, but it isn't, it only proves my point.

I don't know any simpler words to use to put it across
to you, so we'll try one-syllable words.
I told people to think what they want.
THINK...WHAT... YOU... WANT...

>Hitler was
> great at persuasive oratory as well, but look what

Funny, you sit there calling ME Hitler when your wife
mirrored giganspecies on her page so that people can
ONLY see her pitiful one-sided account of what
happened? Get out of my face with your b.s. Funny,
Hitler kept people from the truth too, he hated the idea of the
whole truth being exposed, he only wanted mindless
peons to blindly accept what he said, was a crappy
artist and wasn't German but was great at running his
face. Sounds like Des to a tee. I guess if she's
Hitler, that makes you her Mussolini. You two deserve
one another.

Hey I put it out there thinking maybe there was some
hope for you, that maybe you really were a decent guy
and wouldn't like being someone else's tool. But hey
you seem happy and content with your lot in life so
here's to ya! Enjoy.

Hey, whatever lets you sleep better at night Chris, I
won't dispute you...

Oh there are people I trust, the two of you happen to
not be on that list :)

WAAhahahaHAhahaHAHA!
Oh, oh wait, I'm not donehahahahaha!
Hoooooboy!
*wipes a tear*
Wait, let me read that again hahahahaha, lol!
Um, how about a gritty, in your face 'No.'
You 'strongly suggest'? Please. I strongly suggest
you drive down the road using your feet, that doesn't
mean you're going to do it. I also 'strongly suggest'
you thank me for promoting the two of you for free right now.

Do it "NOW'?

No. What are you going to do, send me another email
to shred? Des going to steal more of my artwork? Are
you going to send another mindless peon to write me so
I can rip them too?
Give it up, let it go, and move the heck on Chris.
You SEE that I only lash back when you screw with me,
so you stop, and I'll stop. It's that simple, you two
just seem to have the most difficult time grasping
such a simple concept. But Des insists on messing with
me, and as long as she keeps starting crap, I'm going
to respond, and then she'll have to think up more lies
to tell to cover herself, find more of my art to steal
and claim as her own, and think of more ways to claim
that I'm the bad guy while making sure no one sees my
side of things.

>Leave "your account" of
> things up, that's fine and fair.
If it was so 'fine and fair' it would be on Des'
mirrored site. But it's not so apparently you guys
want nothing to do with 'fine and fair'. Besides,
according to you my whole recount is derogatory
berates Des, so using your logic the whole thing should come down.

>You just made
> yourself look bad, that's all.
Uh huh... Sure it did, that's why in the seven months
it's been up I've gotten lots of positive feedback for the
material and only ONE angry email (well, yours
doesn't really count, I consider this funny.. not Dave
Chappelle funny, but funny nonetheless).
Though I'm sure to your mindless followers I looked
bad-like I care. Oh but wait, most probably never had
a chance to see my response because Des redirected them to her
mirror site... nevermind, those poor people never had
a chance...

> I liked your words though.."this site is MINE...I
> got the space..I made the icons..." blah blah
Wow, the truth just *pisses* you off doesn't it?
But hey, I guess if Des gets credit for work I did
you're cool with that right? Of course you are.
Good boy, sit, stay.
But while you're busy barking and not
saying anything, I'm the one making valid points you
can't ague with.

>You
> know, you sound like a "greedy" conservative! Not an
> open-minded "sharing" liberal. lol!
Right, and who voted republican this past election?
Hehe, hey, your sentence didn't make much sense
either...

Oh wait, I get it, *I'm" the whiny child, or 'greedy
conservative' because I made it know that the things
Des loves to take credit for were actually done by me?
If that makes sense in your crooked head then
whatever, enjoy your deluded perception of reality.

No no, maybe by 'sharing', you mean I should be happy that
Des says "I drew this picture of Gogar", when in fact
she stole it from me. That's what you mean, Des should
be allowed to steal and use the work other people have
done and take credit for it! Gotcha! Yeah, if that's
your definition of a sharing liberal, you can keep it
and cram it down your gullet.

> Well, I am sure you "might" want to respond to me,
Ah Chris, I wouldn't MISS a chance to respond to you,
it's too flippin' easy to rip you a new one!

> break down my sentences line by line and tear them
> apart,
You mean like so?

>which you do quite well.
Why thank you!

>But let me just say
> that, I am not interested!
Of course you're not, because it's easy to throw rocks
at the hornets nest and run away you sad little coward.
That way you can squeeze your eyes shut, plug your fingers
in your ears and yell "Lalalala! I won I can't hear you! Lalala!
You don't want to hear back from me because you know I
can tear you apart without trying and that wounds your
widdle pwide.
But you're going to come back here, and you're going
to read this. And you'll probably either respond
again with an equally pointless email that I'm going
to post and rip apart, or maybe this time you'll learn
your lesson, shut up and stop messing with me.

I mean, I guess you're finally doing your duty and making
an attempt to stand up for your woman, but Chris you
suck at it. If Des has an issue, she needs to grow a spine
and come to me with it herself. I thought she 'surpassed' me in the
verbal arts of arguing, I thought she could 'lay the verbal
smackdown.' I guess not.
And Lord knows you suck at this, soYOU need to do yourself
a favor and keep your mouth shut. I mean, you can keep
spouting off, but I'll just keep rubbing your face in the dirt.

>Take your one sided,
> god-complexed opinions and your pointless site to
> the grave!
It must not be so pointless if it's got you this riled
up... and my 'side' must not be so one sided if Des is
too scared to put it on her mirrored site is it? I
make sure to show everything, I put it all out there
for everyone to see. Get a spine and do the same, let
the people make up their own minds about what happened
after reading EVERYTHING, not Des' pitiful
memory-selective recount.

> Any responses from you will be instantly deleted
> along with the other spam
Heh, of course it will, that's why I only sent you one
response. But I know you'll read this.

> THREE SIDES TO EVERY STORY
You don't have a side buddy, you're as mindless as the
other peons who can't think for themselves. And no, I
don't mean the people who read both sides and
concluded for themselves that things are my fault, I mean
people who run off at the mouth about
events and haven't read both sides. People who make
assumptions and jump to conclusions because one person
told them something. I don't accept ignorance when
all the information is readily available to you.
So keep talking, keep running your mouth, keep adding
crap to your mirror site, keep stealing my art, keep
trying to shove your professional victim story down
everyone's throat. Keep screwing with me, and then
yell scream cry whine moan and complain when I
respond. The best thing in the world for you two is
to let it go, because like I tried to hammer into your
head over and over, I don't attack unless I'm
provoked. So take a lesson from the Great James Brown.
Don't start none, won't BE none.

Sincerely yours,
Tom

P.S Get some new, RELEVANT material when you write me
again, this was pitiful. I expected some real
thought-out arguments from you with some facts to
back you up, not the same dribble as Des' peon. Don't
make me repeat myself fifteen times in one email Chris, because
I WILL just make a Faq if you can't get it right.
