OK, it can be a hazard of any phone based job, media, tv and even in my job of radio that from the phone side of things you get wierdo's call, nutters, psycho's, perverts, sicko's and some downright horrid and nasty people but you know, at the end of the day NO one is paid enough to take abuse, horrid name calling and being referred to called what I deem to be downright abusive terms.............
It seems tonight at least one channel has had one of these nutters, abusive idiots trolling the phones using his mobile and at the same time his landline too to call girls and be downright abusive, nasty and in my mind really horrid to the girls concerned with what has been said and is totally unacceptable and unecessary.
He has threatend to bring the channels down and report them to OFCOM when it is he who needs reporting and also hogging lines up for genuine normal nice people to the channels.
I think the gentleman in question might have been drunk, possibly gay (not that this should have any bearing on anything), maybe a disliking of ladies or certainly the girls that do the job they do on these channels. He was definately Scottish (and at this point I stress this has no bearing on the great Scots people that watch/ring the channels and use this forum or Scotch girlies or guys that work on the channels).
I know that obviously in the nature of sex chat line calls certain words terms are used and spoken and not meant in an offensive way and are part of the job, but in the case of this certain person tonight, much of his language I know was VERY offensive, insulting, hurtfull and I find it repulsive, discraceful, and 10000% appaling that any of the girls should have to put up with this.
I hope the channel(s) bar the number(s) of this certain individual and if need be report him to the various regulartory authorities concerned, and in the case of OFCOM, in a positive way, them as well.
I know people have their opinions about girls that do this kind of work for a living, but at the end of the day, they are normal, nice lovely people just doing a job like the rest of us and no one should have to tollerate this kind of behaviour.
I've had to deal with this kind of behaviour from some callers off air in my broadcasting job, plus abuse on radio internet forums over the years from idiots similar to this kind of sicko personlas have various colleagues, plus similar abusive sick phone calls in phone based sales jobs i've had over the years too. Some people I know having them end up as stalkers
I'm more than sure the idiot concerned tonight is NOT someone from this forum, but the girls and other person what ever their profession should NOT have to deal with these abusive calls and people at all.
Sorry for having a rant but it has made me VERY angry!!!
