Gene has just declared, "I know lots of people lie about me, and they will soon face the consequences for criminal actions."
Where was this said? Paracast forum or somewhere else?

Time for everyone to put on their bat wings and fly back through the portal to Mordor . Let the Dark Lord deal with Gene in his own time.Gene has just declared, "I know lots of people lie about me, and they will soon face the consequences for criminal actions.", so maybe so. Perhaps Gene stole your thunder, Shadow.
Well, Gene did have a point. I was repeating something I was told without being able to substantiate it. Someone told me in private that they had a 5 year subscription to the Paracast and Gene blocked the account. But perhaps this was a lie. So I did apologize to Gene for spreading this. So mea culpa on that one. Sharing facts about Gene is one thing, but to spread untruths is not cool, and I do not want to do that.
The part you missed is that he has been asking for donations for at least 12+ years for a never ending series of emergencies that cynical people believe to be contrived. In other words, he is asking for money under false pretenses. This may not be illegal, since he isn't a recognized charity or lottery, but he is playing on the goodness of strangers to make a living. That money could have gone to a legitimate charity that helps many people.I don't find him that bad, all he did was he asked for donation right? I think he could work well as a NGO (Non-Governmental Organizations) since he could persuade people to donate.
Does Gene know who you are? Your words have weight with us because you were once a total Gene supporter and had "power" at the Paracast as a moderator. I don't know if you ever co-hosted, but you defended Gene. But your entire outlook collapsed, not because of lies, as Gene contends, but because people were sharing a factual history of Gene's emails over at least a decade constantly begging due to 1 contrived emergency after another.One more note. Gene your continued reliance on the good will of others has started this. Begging is not a bussness model. You need to take responsibility.
Gene there are folks who honestly feel robbed by you. None of this would happen if you took responsibility.
Lets start with this:
Another option if you are destitute is to rent or work out a deal to buy an old trailer in a trailer park community. Yes, I am sure that Gene would probably consider this just too low class for his dignity, but it would allow him to keep his dog and have his own place while he builds up equity and accumulates some cash. I just surfed the Phoenix area listings and there was a trailer for sale for $380 a month with no money down. I am sure it is no palace, but if you are so desperate that you have made begging your income source for 12+ years, you might consider such a course. Then you could pocket all the money you are paying for a luxury apartment in Gilbert, stay home and cook your own meals, and purchase a Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plan F or G policy to take care of Barbara's medical expenses. This stuff isn't rocket science. Boomers, who are most often children of the Great Depression generation, should know all about cutting corners.
