The shadow
The shadow knows!
Gene could make awesome money at the genius bar in an apple store!
Instead he lies and panhandle while living in luxury.

Gene has given me access again to the Paracast Plus I paid for. I can also suddenly access the Paracast Forum as SheaOlmsford again. Thank you Gene. I appreciate it very much. I doubt I will participate in the forum but I am glad I can access commercial free episodes until October 1st. I hope Gene knows that he cannot just cut off any subscriber who has prepaid in advance for Paracast Plus just because he doesnt like their behavior on the Forum or in Private Messages. The forum is his to do whatever he wants. But if you accept money in advance from a customer to provide a service, you better provide that service, even if you have to hold your nose while doing so. That is what is called "doing business". Unless you are baking wedding cakes for gays, you can't just cut off your customers once they have paid you.Gene moved my issue about Paracast Plus access to a separate thread called Paracast+ Membership Glitch.
His words seem very frosty. He is claiming that I changed my user name and that this somehow changed the Paypal access to Paracast Plus. I would have to rely on someone with technical information here to explain. But I subscribed to Paracast Plus as SheaOlmsford on October 1st, 2017. I paid a year's subscription immediately then to pay for access until 10-1-18. I did NOT change my name. I always accessed the Paracast website, which recognized me (it had a cookie?). So I never had to log in to download the Paracast Plus episode.
Suddenly, after writing to Goggs MacKay about Gene, the Paracast website no longer recognizes me. when I try to log in as SheaOlmsford with my email address, I get a message that my account does not exist.
To me, this seems like someone pulled the plug on me. Gene seems to be saying it was my fault for changing my user name, but I didn't change my user name. I had a pre-existing name that I had not used in years on the forum but I wasn't using that to subscribe to the Paracast Plus. Perhaps Gene just doesn't describe things very well.
I know from experience that arguing with him is hopeless and would probably get me totally ignored. So I am saying as little as possible there and hoping Gene can grant me access again. He does not seem at all happy about this situation. He is quite annoyed that I posted this publicly instead of bringing it to him privately. But believe it or not, I do not have Gene's email address. Do you? Is this a common household piece of information in the USA? Gene actually accused me of knowing his email address and intentionally not using it.
So much melo-drama. Good Lord.

I usually do not address nonsensical comments such as this but since I am aware of who exactly wrote this post on that link I thought I would repost what is written below, a post I wrote which is back a few pages in this thread...Many people do not share much of their personal information online, I'm one of those, that is a non-issue, simply beating a dead horse...I thought it rich to claim there was a self-interest nastiness or maybe meant a selfish interest in my endeavours to offer people an open and positive atmosphere for public discussion without ridicule, discrimination, or soliciting...lolThis nivek character (using an anonymous moniker) is the owner of the alien expanse chat site. There is no way to know who this person is who is trying to beef up his small chat site’s numbers by feeding off the fall of Gene Steinberg (might be an old Paracast member for all anyone knows – I have my hunches who he is). Nivek went on the Paracast Forum as nivek and infested it with invitations and links to his AE forum recently. Same old self-interested nastiness rife in the ufo/paranormal world. Unless there is transparency in such endeavors I’d leave it be, just like I’d advise no one to donate money on the internet. Be savvy regarding who you give your time and money to.
The Paracast has been, in the past, a really excellent forum because of a lot of very bright, talented, and thoughtful people who were interested in the topics discussed on the podcast and the forum. Many, many of them have left because of the panhandling. I used to work weird hours, and also had some health issues that had me up at all hours, unable to sleep or do much of anything but sit on my ass in front of the computer. Thankfully, that's all years in the past. I saw a lot of things come and go within minutes on the Paracast forum, in the middle of the night.
Poor Old Gene cannot stand the least bit of criticism; we all know that. Some of what I saw (and got screenshots of) was appalling. Recently I ran across this, which I saved as an email draft so it's easy to copy and paste. This is an example of the sort of thing Gene's behavior has caused. I won't give the poster's screen name, but he was one of the most intelligent and sensible people I saw on there, and that is saying something. He had been a member for many years. The web image says that I clicked on this message three minutes after it was posted. Immediately after I saved it, I refreshed the page and it was gone. This really is sad.
I'm gone.
Having listened to the Paracast for many years now, I thought it was time to donate a little money to the show in good faith. I donated $100 to the Paracast on Oct. XXth.
Then this morning I receive this email from Gene Steinberg:
Hi Xxxx,
Thanks for the help, which came in the nick of time.
This weekend, I confront a rent payment, and, on Friday, I must pay the electric bill, phone bill and other critical payments.
Would it be possible for you to contribute anything towards these critical expenses?
Peace,
Gene=
Now, I don't really like clichés, but in this case I'll go ahead and use one: I wasn't born yesterday. This is pathetic.
I know times are tough, but they're tough all around. I had heard some comments about Gene asking for money, but this is ridiculous. And I recently donated to a local children's hospice so the email bothered me even more.
I can't continue to listen to this show or support it with this kind of strange and unwarranted begging going on. I'm gone.
This post probably won't last very long (if at all) but I hope some of you see it and have a bit more information about the kind of sketchy things Gene is up to.
Good luck to all of you good folks.
I felt quite certain that Gene would have done next to nothing to help me if I had approached him privately. You saw how frosty his responses were to someone who inexplicably suddenly was locked out of content they paid for. I have received a few poison pen emails from Gene prior to my problem chastising me in various ways (he likes to invoke shame if possible) for forum posts they he found unacceptable. I truly thought that a private request for help may have just resulted in a tart rebuff. Since Gene responded with veiled hostility even in public gives me a hint of how it might have gone if no one else was aware of my problem. Perhaps needless to say, I will NOT ever be renewing my Paracast Plus ever again.Beyond, I am glad your Paracast Plus access has been restored.
I took a look at Gene's responses to you on the Paracast forum and good grief, for a guy who is in constant need of cash, he truly seems to have never heard of customer service. I can understand him saying something like, please don't reply to the show discussion with requests like this, PM me or post over in this other area, thanks. Instead he has to wag his finger at you and lecture in multiple different posts... despite that it seems entirely likely he shut down the SheaOlmsford account, thus creating the problem in the first place. And if you only PM'd him, I have to wonder if he would have ever addressed the problem, or just banned your additional account. But that might have been too shady even for Gene. Well. Maybe.
A few things from my point-of-view.I publicly answer a private question.
After I saw the hack was a lie. I started to look for a way out. I had made Chris a promise. But those in the camp that were pointing out the fraud that Gene was committing seized on several things. That before my twitter account was hacked that I followed two porn stars. One had political ties with a certain D.T. one was a favorite of my wife. After I regained the account I saw a comment posted that I did not send out on a twitter page about Gene. It was explicit. Those there began to refer to me as “porno Bob “ . this childish action angered me. I Had done nothing yet they began to denigrate me. I posted on the paracast that expressed my anger. It was also at this point I saw clearly I was enabling gene. I began to speak out. I at that point was ready to depart. Upset I was Being trashed by one side and used by Gene. Then Paranormal Davy happened. I saw what Gene was always saying was happening. I warned gene. I told him it was a trick. And by doing so I became more “On his side.” the “porno Bob” comments increased. I was on the edge. Finally two things happened to put me over the edge. The “Porno Bob “ card post and the fact I had indeed found a good home away from the paracast where I was viewed as “Gene’s toady “
Gene gave me his number. We talked. I told Gene I was stepping down. Gene told me that we had “Haters “ attacking a Moderator and if I had received any undue Pressure from the same hater.
I said NO. that is when he said “Goggs got some hate mail from a hater. “
so it is my hope that this answers some questions. I will of course be open and up front on my past association with Gene.
Did I consider him a friend? At one point I did. I Liked Gene, but the one I respected was Chris O’Brian
Only reason I stayed.
And lastly Do I hate Gene. No I don’t but I cant understand why he did this. Why he chose this way.
If he went and worked at the Apple Store He would be set. Heck if Gene had gone into a private tech service he also could make tons of cash. Gene has vast tech experience.
I feel sorry that it has come to this. That he is Homeless. But it is true..
The weed of crime bears bitter fruit. Crime does not pay! The Shadow knows!
A few things from my point-of-view.
1. If the "stars" in porn are adult and their filmed interactions are always with other adults, then I see no problem. Our society is still so guilt ridden about sex. I have that same guilt drummed into me as a little kid when I had no defenses. But I have a more mature liberated adult self that goes beyond that early programming. My stance is that porn has a useful purpose, especially for singles and older people who "aren't getting any", so to speak. As long as the porn does not encourage a mindset that demeans either men or women, then I do not see a problem. So using a term for you that demeans you (for something the demeaners also probably indulge in) is pretty vicious.
2. I am the hater who wrote to Goggs referring him to the UFO Trails site to read about his glorious leader. I wanted to be sure Goggs, who always to me came off as a gullible fanboy, knew what was going on since he is off in Scotland. He knew and choose to ignore it. That was his response. I have no respect for Goggs. Then loo and behold, suddenly I could not access Paracast Plus material that I had prepaid for through October 1st 2018. This must be the wrath of the Lord, right? But Gene needs to realize you cannot just cancel an account of someone who has prepaid you for a service.
3. When someone reveals the TRUTH and the FACTS of Gene's nefarious actions, that does not make that person a "hater". But this seems to be a common ploy nowadays. When people present the simply facts about Donald Trump's actions or use actual footage of him speaking, Donald refers to such people as "haters". If I abused my wife and someone recorded it all on film, would that person be a "hater"? In my opinion, only a guilty person would smear the people who are simply revealing the actual FACTS of a situation.
4. You don't seem to get it. You still believe that Gene is homeless after all this? Did you see the luxurious place he is living? This is a gorgeous complex with pools, community center, a gym, gorgeous landscaping with palms, and all the amenities of a yuppie life. If Gene is destitute, why is he living in such a upper middle class place? Wouldn't it make sense to rent a cheap trailer? Phoenix is full of trailer parks that are well kept. Many snowbirds rent trailers when they spend the winter here. Remember, I live in Phoenix also. I know that a lot of Gene's "woes" don't make sense, since Phoenix (like parts of Florida) is very geared toward the elderly. The cost of living is pretty low. If you are destitute, you should not be renting a luxurious apartment as if you are a young technology executive.
Beyond, I am glad your Paracast Plus access has been restored.
And Thomas R. Morrison, not saying it is a terrible lapse in your knowledge or gap in your education that you weren't aware of Gene's grifty ways, but there is now plenty of info online if you wish to read about it. You may not. I do recommend this post and the comments to get an idea of the duration and scope of the issue, and Gene's responses to people questioning him: Is Gene Steinberg A Fraud?
.
It is like renting a Rolls Royce knowing you have no way of ever paying the fees.Gene was evicted from the luxury apartment. Make no mistake.
I know he was trying to live high on the hog.
But today the evicted him.
Is Gene homeless? Maybe. If he is it's his own fault
he lived in a apartment that cost $960 to 1300 a month. it was gated full amenities.
yes you are 100% correct. he did live in the lap of luxury but today he was evicted. and it was his own damn fault.
