True nature

Think about this for a moment.

Michael Tonello is a 52 year old man who has bitter vendetta against a purse forum. And is now taking public shots at woman he has never met ... because she happens to be wealthy and have a large collection of luxury items.

If this was a kid, you might expect this kind of frankly childish behaviour. But from a grown man?

We wouldn't expect any less from you, Michael. And you've shown that we certainly shouldn't expect more.

Do the words "grow up" mean anything to you? Try it. You just might come to like it.

People need to an together to take this bully down (legally). Actions speak louder than words. He resides right here in the United States in Stuart, Florida- not Barcelona!!

To cyber bully anyone is just sick!! and it has to stop. It's destroyed many lives amongst adults and especially our younger generation.

MT will never have the financial means to have a large collection of any valuable things, except building a shitload pile of lies and ugly things dissing people he doesn't know.

What business is it of yours anyway, Michael Tonello? People around e world, of varying degrees of weath who are happy with their lot, can have the means to make a collection of things their hearts desire; cars, properties, jewelries, travel alot, dine in posh hotels etc. You who have nothing, dismiss this as being offensive and that the owner's showing off. The greatest showoff is you! You even wrote a book about it, and explicitly bragged about jetting around the world and living in posh hotels. The irony is, if there were no women who collect Hermes, you would not have existed, your book will not have existed, and you would still be living in poverty in Ptown. Why is he so evil
tto pick on women who chose to collect bags? He hates tpf and wants to hurt its members. Waiting for the arms of the law to reach you and keep you behind bars. With no internet.

""Donna you'll never have half the collection of melliesmom".

"And why would you want to?
Why would anyone in their right mind need a couple hundred handbags and a few hundred Hermes scarves?
(Especially someone who never leaves the house?)


Note: The photo is of floppykelly wearing the new Birkin 90cm Paper Bag edition. Someone forgot to tell her though that it was created to be worn over the head (after all, it was inspired by BaltoBagLady), not on the shoulder"."

Again evident of the blackness of their hearts. No conscience saying the thing they do. Don't believe in karma? Look around you and the endless obstacles that you've faced. There will be more because you disbelieve and do more evil. They say karma hits the next generation and the next and the next. Depends on how much you need to repay.

This isn't childish behavior, it is mean, sick and vindictive and shows that he is a sociopath.

The definition of a sociopath and this just for starters:

Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.

Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."

Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.

Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

This is jut the tip of the iceberg.

The lie is obvious to any and all just by looking at the photo that MT posted.....

The 90cm Birkin Paper Bag is a fake! The real one has an orange color, not the cream one as shown.

Yes, yes. I know one cannot authenticate based on photos alone, but I am willing to stick my neck out and claim it is FAKE FAKE FAKE.

"I think you're missing the point. It doesn't matter if she doesn't leave the house. It's just important that everyone knows how much they cost, and that she has a lot.
She feeds off the envious reactions.

It doesn't make it wrong.
It makes her happy.

Many women buy designer bags primarily because the love that other women know how much it costs.

Yeah we get it seems silly to you and Donna.
Got it. It seems silly to me too. But what good does it do to keep harping on it?"

Can't we move on to insulting M&V that never gets oldlo IMHO.

Hey, AMATEUR SHRINK. melliesmom doesn't post her pictures, left TPF a long time ago, and no one knows what she has, so I doubt she feeds on anyone's envy. If she did, she'd be posting pictures of all her things, not only bags, like Donna. Duchess likes to brag about everything even her junk furniture.
Duchess and MT don't know her and no one else does either on TPF or the internet. Is this the best "creative" writing of MT and Donna? MT get a REAL job, you are pathetic. Donna you are just so envious, it's sick.

I would like to say this whole story is unbelievable, but sadly it is the truth. Michael is a sick person, obsessed with women who have more than he does. This won't get him anywhere, but he will keep attacking any member of the purse forum because he can't get over his reputation being damaged. He isn't even a reseller anymore and has not been one for years, but he still continually attack those who had bad transactions with him many years ago. It's pathological.

How then is one expected to understand about his incessant attacks on members of the Purse Forum who never had any transaction with him?

Here we go ladies.

It's magic time.

Time to prove your precious karma exists.

4 yrs this has been going on.
So when exactly will this karma sink it's big bad teeth into MT & DL?

Let me guess it's a slow build, they will spontaneously combust decades from now.

Shame karma couldn't at least shut down a website.

If he is going to be on television a show on bravo, I hope the executive producer of that show gets clued into his online antics. The network might have second thoughts.

PFAE idiot
She currently has no pictures up.
Melliesmom had them taken down.
Melliesmom is currently a PF member, Vlad changed her name.

Maybe someone can draw pictures to help you follow along.

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit.
Hopefully some of that Karma will come to your rescue.
Because that's the only way you'll ever get a clue.

June 4, 2011 6:02 PM

FYI, one can't leave TPF, just not go there anymore.
So you have no clue about anything. It isn't your business either so why so hot and bothered. You know nothing.
I don't need any pictures to follow MTand Donna's lies maybe you do.
Gee, you're really angry. Is this your post Michael?

Nope, karma is the sad and empty state of Donna's and Michael's minds.

Karma is the people who will not come near them anymore because of who they are and what they write. The opportunities Michael Tonello has missed as an author to promote his book because owners of bookstores, readers' clubs and ladies groups saw his blog and decided that he was too poisonous to deal with, which he doesn't even know about. The women who refuse to give Donna the time of day because of who she is. Ebay, for kicking Michael Tonello out. That book of Michael's that never got published and doesn't get talked about anymore...

Actions do have consequences, and these consequences might not be immediately apparent.

our illustrious author isn't a sociopath, he's not clever enough. a guess is that he's an antisocial personality.

"Antisocial personality disorder is a mental health condition in which a person has a long-term pattern of manipulating, exploiting, or violating the rights of others. This behavior is often criminal.

The causes of antisocial personality disorder are unknown. Genetic factors and child abuse are believed to contribute to the development of this condition.

People with an antisocial or alcoholic parent are at increased risk. Far more men than women are affected.

Some people believe that psychopathic personality (psychopathy) is the same disorder.

A person with antisocial personality disorder may:

*Be able to act witty and charming
*Be good at flattery and manipulating other people's emotions
*Break the law repeatedly
*Disregard the safety of self and others
*Have problems with substance abuse
*Lie, steal, and create conflict often
*Not show guilt or remorse
*Often be angry or arrogant"

" Re: Would anyone care to meet up in NYC Nov. 12-14th?
Hermesmerized, how exciting about your consultation with xxxxx xxxx.
It will be fun getting together in New York. We are lucky that our Canadian dollar is so strong! Now is the time to shop in the US."

duchess replying to her other ID "Hermeserized" This is why she was banned from TPF.She had many others as well.
MT and Donna are still posting about the same few people. They go back and forth on those they hate/envy. They just keep repeating themselves over and over again. It's juvenile.
They are both liars. Those that follow them and post are either MT or Donna with a couple of other "mean girls" joining because they were banned from TPF.
They know nothing about those they hate/envy.
They are evil, no doubt, but eventually they will get it back. One of their victims is a friend of a mega talk show hostess. This, cyber bullying by MT and duchess, was discussed at a dinner party at length with great interest.

Michael Tonello's attempts to scare the owners of the Purse Forum with comments about 'a big luxury house' launching a forum that is huge and is run by people who are 'close to Megs and Vlad' is pretty pathetic. What he can't remember is that the Purse Forum started very small, way back in 2005. It grew bigger because people liked the place, the format, the information available and because it seemed a good place to discuss handbags.

So no forum actually starts huge. It just gets bigger if the membership likes what it offers. If anyone wants to leave the purse forum and start another forum, and work hard enough to make it bigger and attract a crowd, then more power to them.

I wish Tonello wouldn't waste his time dreaming up alternative scenarios, and imagining that people swallow his fabrications.

5.41am I have posted on the PFA, and not for reasons you have posted. I 'know' one of the people MT targeted, defended her, and stated that he had got it SO wrong. Frankly, I left the PF because of the real nastiness I witnessed towards members, and MT is NO better with his vitriolic threads. Not everyone that chooses to read these blogs, believes everything that is printed, or does so out of hate for the PF, so please stop trying to lump us in the same group as him.

As for this big 'Luxury forum' I don't think Megs and Vlad need to worry, as MT seems to blow a lot of hot air.

I was thinking the same thing. A forum starts with just a few members and then builds from that. It takes a lot of time to amass a database of information that continues to attract those who search for related terms within Google.

The database of information is a very valuable asset of a forum. Because that database is what attracts new members. That is why it is so hard for new forums to grow. 

And Tonello continually speaks unflattering terms about the Purse Forum's membership as a whole but that is so silly. DUH! Anyone can join. The members are not chosen or vetted in any way. The members come from all walks of life.
 
And over on PFA they say that Effenhaut is out of luck by getting a bunch of Purse Forum members; well the people who started EH are former purse forum members, so maybe they will see some old friends on their forum.
 
Almost all forums that have any significant number of members are run just like the Purse Forum. The posts are moderated and when a member breaks the rules, causes drama and has a bad attitude about the forum itself, they are banned.
 
For example, I saw Korizonka's posts and yes, she needed to be banned. She had a bad attitude and forums don't like bad attitudes. Forum administrators and mods work hard to
keep their forums pleasant places for the majority. When it is obvious that someone has an "attitude", it is usually time for them to go.
 
And quite often the banned person takes revenge. I've seen this so many times on lots of forums. What happens on the Purse Forum is not unique in any way. Those who are
banned always think they were banned for no good reason and they always hate the mods and owners who banned them.
 
But the difference here is that in most cases, the anger goes away in a reasonable amount of time. Duchess and Tonello must have no life if they STILL are taking
revenge on a purse forum. It's time to move on, for heaven's sakes!

Yes, it was just a hideout for bag owners to talk about handbags, as it would be the same to say of forums for car owners, yacht owners, wine collectors, antique collections, PC geeks and the list goes on.

I hate it that Michael Tonello and Donna Lehtonen have spoilt it for me. Stalking me and making fun of me. Get this - you don't even know me. You don't live my life and don't comment like you know it all. You two are just sick. The mean girls who jumped onto the bandwagon as well, you would so deserve it when karma catches up with your bad deeds and your lives turn upside down. When your lives don't run so smoothly, many obstacles surface, ill health, more quarrels, money flow stalls ... it's a whole life and the next generation. So deserve it.

May the last impressions of the world of the both of you be tied to your malicious acts on PFA. Anything good at all, that had come out in your lives, will just be washed down the toilet. They (relationships and possessions) must be worth so little, because they come on the internet to cyberstalk, cyberharrass and cyberbully, without any cares that their crimes will catch up with them.

These two must be caught and shamed.

Someone should send the alert to Bravo! Knowing MT, he would come up and defend himself that people are just jealous, hateful that he is so successful etc. If anyone is in the media industry and is always respected as a reliable source, this is your chance to pull those strings.

Karma for them is that they are haunted by their darkest secrets causing malice on the internet, and eventually the full force of the law at their doorstep. That is the day when you know the law works.

Bravo isn't dumb. They wouldn't touch MT with a 100 ft pole.

Why would you believe this garbage?
