Bit of a twitterstorm this morning over the way the owner of Emma's Pizza in Cambridge publicly slammed a customer who not only had the nerve to ask for meatballs on a "pressed veggie sandwich" but then made a scene when told that would cost extra. More specifically, on Saturday, Emma's tweeted:

where in 'substitutions are welcome' does it read it's free? Adding meatballs to a Pressed Veggie Sdwch is nasty and will cost u, dumbass.

When a follower complained about the tone of those 140 characters, the pizza place replied:

She made a scene in my store when she was told how much something that is not on the menu cost. Called like seen + MYOB.

I never mentioned names which hardly makes it a public berating. I'm wondering who asked you how to run my biz anyway? #MYOB

When more Twitter followers suggested calling out somebody as a dumbass in a public forum was not the best way to handle things, and that such tweeting might even cause them to reconsider their pizza options in the future, Emma's stood firm:

we're being twitter bullied

a woman refused to pay for what she ordered and ate at my store, she is a dumbass. Why chime in when you don't know?

This morning, though, Emma's got a bit more conciliatory, after Jesse Kanson-Benanav suggested that in an era when "teens are killing themselves from online bullying," complaining about meatball complaints on Twitter might be a bit much:

did not intend to make light of bullying. promise. sorry to anyone offended on that note. woman who didn't pay is still a dumbass.

Christine Koh, who does social-media consulting, offers some advice to Emma's and other small businesses who deal with dumbasses: Count to 10 and then just don't complain about them publicly like that.

The Archdiocese of Boston said today it has put Rev. John M. Mendicoa of Sacred Heart Parish on leave after receiving an allegation of sexual abuse of a child in the 1980s:

The Archdiocese immediately notified law enforcement of the allegation and has initiated a preliminary investigation into the complaint. Fr. Mendicoa will remain on administrative leave pending the outcome of the preliminary investigation. The decision to place Fr. Mendicoa on administrative leave represents the Archdiocese's commitment to the safety of all parties and does not represent a determination of Fr. Mendicoa's guilt or innocence as it pertains to this allegation. The Archdiocese will work to resolve this case as expeditiously as possible and in a manner that is fair to all parties.
