Difficult Simple

I presume this will just be an epilogue of sorts to The Muvico Incident, all previous parts of which are still available on this blog. That they’re still available is, I suspect, what prompted this post. I shall explain.

I’m going to guess that at least some of the folks at Muvico aren’t too internet-savvy. After the initial incident, which was bad enough, two Muvico employees decided to leave “anonymous” comments on the entry in question, not realizing that when they did so, their IP addresses were automatically recorded and traced back to… Muvico. Oops.

Eventually I was put in touch with someone in authority at Muvico and things seemed to work out amicably. I haven’t been back since, but I’m no longer opposed to visiting their theater. And now somebody’s still poking around.

A couple of times over the last week or so, I’ve gotten search hits for matt william muvico. Any one of those by themselves would be totally innocuous, but all of them together? Matt and William were the managers on duty at the Muvico Egyptian 24 that day, as you may recall. I guess one or both of them wanted to see if, having gotten an apology from both the Director of Operations and the Managing Director, I would take those posts down. The answer — William and/or Matt, if you’re reading this — is no.

To be fair to Matt, he seemed more bewildered than anything else. It was William who completely blew the whole thing with his robo-service and generally snotty attitude. While other people cleaned up the mess William and Matt made, there was still a mess, and those two were the ones with whom the buck stopped that day. It happened, they screwed up and now it’s documented.

As with the whole IP-address thing, I guess William and/or Matt don’t realize that not only do I see search terms coming into the blog, but I see every page anyone reads, what links they click and so forth. With a simple plugin I could track IP addresses of visitors, but I don’t see the point. Yet.

I’m not angry or even irritated that these people are still lurking. I find it more amusing than anything else, especially since I don’t see what gain there is to reading and re-reading those posts, some more than a month old. Unless another post on the topic, and more notoriety, is the goal.
