This company is owned by Thomas B. Story (Tom Story) aka Tom Story LLC (a dissolved entity).

Do not do business with this place. Tom is completely unethical and if you do not have the same opinions as he does he gets very vindictive and will even go as far as contacting the company you work for and spam blast them to (try) to get you in trouble. Sadly enough he's also a 3rd grade teacher over at Mary McLeod Bethune Academy in Milwaukee... I wouldn't want this guy teaching my kids if I had any. Has serious mental issues.

Anyone who takes to spam blasting someone who doesn't have the same opinions as you is really pathetic and shouldn't be doing business at all. Plus his websites are ugly and unprofessional looking, just look at the state of his portfolio.

STAY FAR AWAY

Here we go again with the outright lies and crazy...

AUTHOR: Cheri - (U.S.A.)

Tom, I'm not sure what your issue is or why you are bringing this up now. I haven't thought about you for months and definitely haven't contacted you (or given two craps about you, you're honestly not worth my time!). I am writing in reply to your reply to my original complaint here (Which I happen to get NOTIFICATION EMAILS on when someone posts, hence the speed of my replies). I reply because I want to SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT and I DETEST people who are liars and stalkers. You think you can come reply to my post with a bunch of lies and craziness and have me NOT set the record straight?

I could care less about your family or relatives. If for some reason it makes you feel better to post about them or somehow gives your post some validity, well whatever floats your boat. You could have avoided the whole war/argument in the first place by just voicing your own OPINION in a clear to the point, polite way on the news article and maybe I would have read it and given it some validity. Right now, and the way you've acted in the past, gives your word absolutely no validity whatsoever.

And there you go again with incorrect statements regarding a PERSONAL FACEBOOK account. Sheesh, you really are off the deep end aren't you?

The email you sent was NOT A SHORT DIRECT MESSAGE and WAS a spam blast sent to at least FOUR people that I'm aware of. You were right tho, there wasn't any mention of "Walker" in the email itself (For some reason I remember there was, but of course I haven't looked at the email for a LONG LONG time), BUT it was in response to a post that was made in a news article ABOUT Walker. Oh and I did a word-count on your email blast and it contained 332 characters. (SO much for one "short direct message" eh?).

Tom, PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO THEIR OPINIONS. If you do not agree with someone's opinion you do not negate legality and STALK AND HARASS that person intentionally, and that is exactly what you did as well as your email contained THREAT UNDERTONES to it and the people who received it thought so as well.  So what if I bashed teachers in general and called them "whiny"? You just went right ahead and PROVED ME RIGHT by sending out that email. Maybe you should have gone about civilly and maybe you could have proved me wrong, but you didn't.  So arguing about it here isn't going to help your cause any, you already proved MY POINT.

NORMAL people do not stalk and harass other people at their place of work, homes, etc over something as stupid as an opposing political opinion.

Well Tom, I appreciate your attempt to apologize (Although I discount some of it's sincerity based on the outright lies in some of your post replies). I haven't THOUGHT about you and didn't even remember you really until I got the email notification regarding the old rip off report I filed in my email box. I'm sorry that you are being harassed and once again I'll reiterate to you it's NOT myself doing it (I'm a Baptist, thanks, so I don't need to stoop to your level). I will ask around to some of the activists and Republican friends I told and if any of them is doing anything to you I will ask them to stop. Problem is I told a LOT of people (Including a whole pile of people that I don't know personally at a pro-Walker rally) so it may take some time to figure out if someone was doing anything. Hopefully enough time has passed and now that all of the political nonsense is over in the state that things will quiet down for you.

Have a nice day, I do not want to hear from you again.

Again, I have no clue who is writing or rebuttaling, but feel this is the source all of the negative comments on all the other sites based on the speed of the rebuttal .

My grandfather was Peter R. Story, a Republican Senator in Montana. I voted for Ron Johnson, I have never voted for a Democratic President and knew the recall was a waste of money and public unions were done from the beginning. Don't even get me started on how bad Tom Barrett is for Wisconsin. I teach with a staff that is half Republican, if not more. Our school does not even have a Building Rep because of how low support we have in our in building for the MTEA.

I believed the profile on Facebook was a troll as the icon had something that looked like a logo, it was not a person, and had a link with a "Works at _________ ." I sent one short direct message, (which is not email blast spam. It was one short direct message"  that said the comment, " Dear Taxpayers, You can thank the succubus teachers of our state for this..." It had nothing to do with Walker.

The message said that there were 1 million signatures but only 50,000 teachers in the state. The message was supposed to be was that teachers were not part of the problem. The problem was the huge unions. That is who should been bashed. Teachers did not donate $20 million to Barrett. No teachers from my school went to the any of the Madison marches. It was the Unions. Teachers (including the Republican teachers) have made huge sacrifices to educate the employees of the companies that you represent. That was the point of listing the companies was that all of those people including the people at your company, (of which I cannot even remember to save my life), had to have had some sort of positive experience from a teacher and teacher bashing should not be accepted coming from a corporate icon. My direct message had nothing to do with Walker. The comment made on Facebook had nothing to do with Walker and had everything to do with bashing teachers, of which I found offensive.

Again I am sorry for the miscommunication. My message was intended in the defense of all the hard working teachers and everyone who has benefited from their support and who I felt should not be the target of bashing. I never expected that pornography would be sent to my K-8 school. I never thought that the school number would be harassed so much. I never expected that every review site would have my name slashed across it with negative comments all based on this Facebook comment. I did not expect my name given to websites and newspapers and sent hatemail and spam for months. The lesson has been learned. It was the only message I have ever sent to anybody about anything at any time. I could care less about Unions, and politics in general, I only want to protect the students I teach and the security of my family.

Tom Story is a NUTBAR and a LIAR now as well...

Tom, Tom, Tom... I love how the lies just fly right out of your mouth. I can see how you are a Democrat all right (apparently a sore loser too since Walker is still in office, haha!).

For those wanting to know the TRUTH behind this individual listen up.  A news story was posted that was political in nature on a local news website that allowed individuals to comment on the story. I was well within my rights of free speech and the only thing that "offended" this particularly "soft" person was the fact that I called the Anti-Walker folks "Whiny".. and boy was I right on with THAT assessment.

After I posted my own political opinion, this mental ill person (Tom Story) doesn't follow it up with a decent argument for his side... Oh no no no, he goes to EXTREME STALKER LEVEL and actually stalks me through my PERSONAL (Not Corporate like the moron says) Facebook account, then proceeds to spam blast my COMPANY with a nasty email about me but also THREATENS my company by listing all of the other companies we have done business with, as if to say you are going to try to hurt the business. Nothing but a low, lame and personal attack. It was promptly ignored as I am good friends with a whole lot of people and they laughed at his lame attack and saw it for what it was, a MENTALLY SICK PERSON WHO NEEDS MEDICATION. For those who want to see the email I have it available and will show anyone who asks for a copy.

Maybe next time TOM, you will be careful who you harass and start wars against. Your attack against me and my company was UNWARRANTED and not appreciated.

And if someone signed you up for a bunch of crap (sounds hilarious, btw) it wasn't me. Although I'd like to send that person a cake!  I told a WHOLE lot of Republican friends, activists even some political newspapers about the childish crap you started with me and probably one of them decided to have at it. Good for them.

You are proof enough that the Milwaukee education system is full of people who are mental. You really shouldn't be in the classroom acting like you act. Aren't teachers supposed to SET AN EXAMPLE? Think about that before you HARASS INNOCENT PEOPLE!

Completely False

AUTHOR: venataur - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, June 26, 2012

As a teacher in the inner city for the last ten years in Milwaukee of which I have put my heart into), I was shocked to find a person (of what I thought was) using a corporate facebook account to troll on a large news stations Fan page about how teachers are the succubus of the taxpayers. I found it very disrespectful and sent a message saying only, "that is was offensive."

The person has then posted on every internet review source available, signed my name up under, "MeetBlackPeople.com", and a large number of other pornographic sites, of which all were sent to my school, of which I am assuming was a racist dig as they know the location of my school is in the inner city in a highly African-American demographic. My school email account was sent to a spam site, of which I received a nasty message. This person also signed me up for different accounts of which would repeatedly call my classroom phone soliciting roofing, or cleaning supplies, and interrupt my teaching. This has gone on for months.

I have found many other of her reviews on Google of other local places and of over 100 reviews, she has not one over 1-Star. 

I am sure her hate is towards unions and Democrats, but if she truly looked anything up, she would have found out that my family is from upper Wisconsin, (all Republican voters), and that my grandfather, rest his soul, was a Republican Senator. I do not feel I have to say I voted for, but suffice to say she is wrong who she thinks I vote for.

My comment was that her statement was offensive towards teachers (whom are hard working, both Republicans and Democrats), were not the ones .

In summation, this report has nothing to do with my quality of teaching, nor the quality of the school, nor my side business. It has everything to do with harassing me in all ways possible.
