First, a little background. We did a story about the little girl who was killed by her mother. Her body then stored in the attic. Read all about it here. The thing is, I made a personal observation about the dead child's name. Insensitive? Sure. But I truly meant no disrespect, as it really was just an observation that admittedly, maybe I should have kept to myself.
Anyway, someone close to the family found our story, and all though we were obviously disheartened about the murder, they really did not like the fact that I associated the child's name with a porn star. But understand, I never know who I am actually dealing with. And so it began with this:

Hey my name is Amber and i was reading the article you wrote about Harmony Jade Creech..and i was woundering what you meant by how in the hell someone would name their baby Harmony Jade Creech?
Morbid Wrote:
Oh, I don't know...I have always thought it best not to have your female child have a name that sounds like a pornstar. For example, here are some actual porn actresses stage names:
Amber Waves
Sylvia Saint
Misty Rain
Chasey Lain
Violet Blue
See a trend? Harmony Jade is a PERFECT name for a porn star. The only thing that truly saves the name from being perfect for porn is the last name of Creech. Don't know what it means, but the only two things that come to mind immediately after hearing\reading it are Creek and Screech. Not real pleasant.
So, my comment was specifically focused on the first two parts sounding like a porn star, conjoining with the last name that conjures visions of muddy, running water or that dude from Saved by the Bell. It's just a terrible, terrible name...but that shouldn't be a big surprise, look at the woman who help name her.
Thanks for contacting us!
Amber:
Seriously, get a life... I hope you know that it does offend people/family members when you talk about the name sounding like a porn star. I mean do you think my name sounds like a porn star? Amber Nicole? You definately need to sit back and realize that their is other things in the world to talk about. I mean why judge somebody's name? Hello.. get a life. You wouldn't like to see/hear something about a family member or even a friend {who died} when it was not even irrelevant to the subject... I mean why would you practically just sit there and actually say hey.. that sounds like a porn star name.. Let me write about this.
Have a nice day.
And one more time.. Get a life.
Amber
Oh and by the way, the name you are talking about is my baby cousin, who I will never get see.. So thanks..
You made my day.... =)
Morbid replied:
Amber,
Thanks for replying!
Sorry for the loss of your cousin. As far as me getting a life, I have one...but it is you I am worried about. You are the one that seems to have no life as you seem to have time to email me twice about a comment made about your dead cousin's name. Don't you have anything better to do with YOUR time? I mean, seriously, why do you give a shit what I think?
But I am a genius and I do find people hang on to every word I utter, and for some reason, people seem to care what I think about their relatives names. But if you ever
want to talk about why you care what I think about any particular issue, feel free to contact me anytime and I will do my best to help you in any way possible. My sessions are short and do not cost too much, depending on how in-depth we get, if we have to do any past-regression therapy, or if you are required to send naked pictures of yourself. In any case, I will give you a discount since you seem like a nice person with too much free time on your hands.
BTW, Your name does not sound like a porn star name. It just sounds like two first names, which is not a bad thing or even uncommon.
Thanks for replying and I look forward to our further sessions!

Ok first off let me let you in a little secret, your apathetic asshole who really needs help!...Obviously you are one of those types of people that think that the WHOLE world owes you something well guess what you'd be freaking wrong...Why would I have ANY sessions with someone so cold?..and why whould I send YOU naked photos..you don't sound like a therapist or anything you sound like a rapist...because why on earth would ANY Therapist request naked photos of their clients?...and you do NOT sound like a genius..you sound like an idiot, because I am not hanging on everything you say, I was curious as to why you would talk about someone especially a child, who will never get to live their life the way we did, just because of their name....honestly do you feel anything on the inside other than cold emptyness?...It sounds to me you need to stop trying to be a therapist and you need to get one!...Oh and you told me to look at who named the baby well what if it wasnt the mom who wanted to name the child HARMONY JADE CREECH?? what if it was the dad? thank you for your time?!
Morbid replied:
Good! Good! Let it out Amber...it's ok! This is actually the first step in many towards your recovery. I expect you to lash out at me and I do not expect you to understand my methods. My intelligence far outreaches yours (and many others, so you are not alone) and I do not expect you to grasp some of the things I will ask you to do.
Now since you have done what I have instructed, by replying back to vent out your frustrations, indirectly aimed at me when actually you are unhappy with your own life and the fact that you feel unhappy and unfulfilled. I will now ask that if you expect me to help you any further, you PayPal me 25.00. Otherwise, I am afraid these pleasant exchanges will have to cease. And Amber, I would hate for that to happen as we have made great progress with you in such a short amount of time. In my professional opinion, I feel there is hope for you yet...I light at the end of the long, dark tunnel you have been traveling through.
Thanks for your reply, and awaiting payment.

Hello I really am not being rude. I like your thoughts on certain things, except for the one saying Harmony Jade Creech (the name) sounds like a porn stars name. My little sisters name is Harmony and really like it. Okay this is probably where you will say, good for you, yes great for me. But lets get off the subject of me, I have friends of friends that have gotten unkind e-mails from you, I mean you are not being nasty about it, just smart ass. We get that you are smart and we get that you are an ass but come on, I know you are prolly going to say the meanest things about me when you get done or you are prolly going to write me back and say some awful things to me, but while you are doing that, i am going to hold my head high and say I have great friends and great people That say good things about me, I'm not worried what you're smart ass comments are going to be, but i really don't appreciate you're negativity on names. Names doesn't make you a person! What if the solider that is, harmony's dad, serving our country, came up with that name. Is he so crazy? He hasn't done anything, I mean anything wrong to deserve you're negativity on his baby's name, I mean they are going through it tuff, friends and family. they don't need anymore pressure with what other people are saying. All I really ask is for you to stop being so smart ass and actually showing love and kindness towards people that have lost someone that they have loved. Well, I honestly believe you are going to send me a comment or an email on this matter, but like I said earlier, I really don't care! you know what? So when you do send something, you are going to have to live with the fact, that i said something mean and I wonder if that person will ever read that e-mail that i sent her? If you do send one even at all, i don't care if its nice, because I have to all of a sudden assume that it is going to be rude because of past events, I may not even read it because I don't want you or anyone like you to ruin my day! Harmony Jade Creech is a pretty name. Do you know what Harmony means, agreement; accord; harmonious relations, what does that have to do with porn? You must really know you're porn to know names of porn stars. I really wish you great luck on getting a life! One day you may lose someone you love and then someone will say something so small, such as you did, but it means so much to you. It hurts and I'm sorry i have the time or to much time to write this, I'm sorry that it means so much to you that i took my time to write you this long letter, but you know what? So what! I may not have much of a life either, but come on, i don't have to go around saying mean things and hurting peoples feelings to have a "so called life". Thanks for reading this all the way through! I am glad you did.
Thanks,M.W.
P.S.
I have sessions too! I believe you will fit right in with the arrogant, self centered, jerks!
Morbid replied:
Thanks for contacting me! I read your entire email and to your credit, it was not a painful experience. You sound extremely nice and professional and are able to spell!
I am sorry if anyone was hurt or offended by my opinions on Harmony Jade Creech's name. I actually like Harmony. I like Jade as well. Not too fond of Creech...well, unless it was a bad guy in a Sci-Fi movie and he was a general for the race of Zaknod hell-bent on total galaxy domination...well, then the name Creech would be a good one...especially if it was proceeded with Admiral, or Corporal.
But it is simply the combination of the first two names that leaves one thinking of a porn star. But as I have asked the others of your clan that keep emailing me about this
subject, why do you care?
And lastly, since you seem like a nice, attractive person, I will let you on to a little secret...an honest, from the heart secret...I wouldn't care one bit what anyone,
especially a stranger, thought about me or anyone I know living or dead. I guess I cannot fathom why anyone would.
Thanks, M.W, for contacting me and I hope to hear from you soon.

I was just responding to the article you posted referring to the 11 month old that was murdered by her mother. I have heard of this story in the past weeks and was horrified at the thought of a mother killing her child, and then preceding to put the baby in a diaper box for weeks. It was a sick crime and she should punished accordingly. I was looking for more articles about this crime and any new updates when i found your article. I read the article and at the end when i came across your comment i was completely disgusted when i saw your comment about the babies name. I was completely amazed when i saw that someone could actually make fun of a child that had been murdered. You have turned this crime into some kind of joke at the cruel expense of the child's family because of her name. This was a tragedy that was not taken lightly in any aspect of her family's life and the fact that you have the nerve to add on that one sentence that completely discredits anything about her the reader had just read, makes you a terrible person in this sense. I don't know anything about you, and honestly i don't want to, but based on this article, you are a horrible person that does not deserve to be able to say anything, or post anything on the internet. But that's our country with freedom of speech and i love it . So now i say this, the fact that you can ignore the crime and focus only on the fucking name that has nothing do do with what happened makes your life invaluable. it makes you the scum of the earth, almost just as bad as her mother who ended her life. Her mother is going to jail for her actions, i think she should hang, and since you are almost as bad as her lets set up another noose,Lets see just how badly people would fight to save your sorry ass. I highly doubt that anyone would give a damn whether you lived or died.
I can only write this e-mail and hope that you have read it all and taken it to heart. but really I'm only kidding myself... i couldn't care less what the hell you do with your life, or even if you have much of one left. My only thought was that one sentence you added on and made someone else even more miserable over their loved ones death.

Thanks for contacting me, Christian!
For someone who does not care about me or my life, which is impossible as I am a very, very important person, you sure seem to care about what I think about a baby's name. Why is that?
I do like the way you associate someone who killed there baby and stuck her body in the attic like an old box of Christmas ornaments with a person who doesn't like the name Harmony Jade Creech and wish both of these people a date with the end of a noose. To me, that is extremely strange coming from a person who seems so sensitive.
But I have taken your email to heart, Christian, and it has struck a chord with me that has resonated to the very fiber of my being. Thank You, Christian, thank you a million
times over.

I dont care what you think about the babies name you smart ass, its the fact that you have the nerve to completely disrespect a loss of life, especially someone so young who never stood a chance. Your life means nothing to me which is why i can compare you to whoever i so please. I am glad that i have"struck a chord" with you, and youre very welcome. Although your lack of being able to spell simple words such as "they're" and Christan when it is right on the screen the correct way troubles me i believe that i
have put enough of my point across. Thank you OH SO MUCH for taking the time to read my thoughts and i hope that we are able to talk more in the future about important topics and terrible grammar!
Morbid replied:
Sorry I mis-spelled your name, Christian, but I like my way better. It doesn't sound unnatural. Also, the next time you want to degrade into pointing out grammar, be sure to capitalize "I" and spell "you're" correctly when you do it. I know they are tricky, but you'll get the hang of it.
I cannot wait to discuss further important topics with you, but I have to tell you, I normally overlook grammar (trust me, some chick named Amber emailed me a few times and I could have had a field day, but why bother, right?) as pointing out spelling mistakes is pointless, child-like in nature and overall just a waste of time.
I look forward to continuing our new found friendship.
One month later, I received this:
Christan's Mom:
You are such an idiot. Do you know you are arguing with a child? I am blocking any future contact from you with Christan, not Christian. Get a life please and be a valuable member of society instead of someone who has the time to reply to people who are able to give you some constructive criticism (even children know you are not right). Learn from this. It is sad that you are only able to make fun of a persons name or their spelling it. Yes, Christan will be talked to for some of the words she has used. However, I do believe she is right and that you are a dumb ass. MOM
My bored reply:
Jesus Christ, lady. I was completely aware that I was either talking to a teenager or a retarded adult, that's why I attempted to be as nice as I could possibly be (albeit sarcastically). How about you keep better tabs on your kids and nip this kind of crap in the bud when it is actually happening, not a month later?
Oh, and I feel you are a dumbass for thinking Christan was right or even thinking they gave anything resembling constructive criticism. But I don't guess I can really blame Christian as I now see where he\she gets it from. The apple doesn't fall from the tree, it seems.

And unless we hear something because we posted this, that was the end of the Harmony Jade saga.
