I'm amazed it's still up now.

Give it a few hours. Gene's paranoia will slowly churn. He will respond with progressively more aggressive replies and then a few hours later the thread will be gone and replaced by a message from Gene saying that another troll was banned. Has happened every time so far.

Recovering Catholic here too. Sometimes I start to feel bad for mocking an old fuck-up who can't get his act together, but then I remember the despicable Hurricane Harvey con, the fraud victim he characterized as "a vengeful woman" and a hundred other sleazy things. He's earned his sorry lot.

Off to the beerboard.

I feel bad for him at times too, I think it's natural, even though I thought he had drained me of all sympathy (and by rights really he should have).

Knowing what I know about him I would never give him a dime. And I am confident he is the author of his own problems.

With his recent declaration of Disaster! it occurs to me that was a risk he was taking relying on a hobby as an important source of his income. One advertiser wants their money back and he's allegedly in the red (well, it's all alleged), and living PayPal disbursement to disbursement.

It sucks. But many of us are one bad day away from financial distress. Most of us aren't expecting everyone else to keep handing us money for no particular reason other than we ask for it. Gene chose his path and nothing has budged him from it yet.

Ok done. There goes my not so secret identity.

I am morbidly curious if his next email solicitation uses a different PayPal address.

1. I am almost 100% Gene does very little driving for Uber/Lyft (if he does any at all). This is evidenced by how much time he spends policing the forums - no way could he dedicate 8-10 hours a day driving or doing any other work. The Uber/Lyft job is just an excuse for Gene to keep a relatively new and expensive car when he doesn't need one and to keep up the pretence that he is trying to change his situation.

2. Gene does not want to budget and live within his means. This is supported by how he stayed in progressively more expensive apartments after each subsequent eviction, his numerous new cars, his need to have the latest gadgets including the latest IPhone and his numerous defaults on loans as indicated on his numerous bankruptcies and court records going back to the early 1990s. As I have said before, it doesn't matter how much money you receive if you spend more than that you will never be able to balance your books.

I see that mindless trolls from that other forum are attempting to migrate their hate, jealousy and spitefulness of Gene/Paracast. shocker.

I lasted 12 posts, one half of a day there, because I called them out for who they are. Insignificant nothings with nothing to show except a bunch of traitors, miscreants, and emotionally stunted wannabees.


wow.. Just wow..
and his post...
I’ll be short. There is no alternative that I can see to raising funds for these problems until they are solved. The consequences are bad. And that is the truth.

It is well known you've asked for money regularly for years and years now.

It is not clear to me what "these problems" you refer to being "solved" even looks like to you at this point.

Whatever generous donations you received over the past few years, they did not prevent you from being evicted from multiple apartments. Do you have a real plan and budget to get into a new apartment? An apartment you can stay in without requiring further donations? Does the plan assume that income from your podcasts will somehow increase substantially?

I don't want to attack you or mock you here Gene but given how you share information about your personal circumstances in emails, it is evident what outcomes your past strategies have led to. You also make clear in those emails, repeatedly, just how miserable you are with those outcomes.

I do not see how you can expect another, better outcome for yourself and your family if your plan for the future is more of what you've been doing. Others have offered you different solutions to consider (I'm sure some more realistic than others) but you only seem to want cash sent via PayPal. Yet it doesn't seem whatever donations you've received in recent years have kept you from repeated evictions. More money can't always be the solution, particularly if the money is unattainable. Yes I know it is hard out there, terrible in fact, but we have to play the cards we're dealt. I hope you can find some stability.

I'm pretty sure this response is from one of Gene's own sockpuppet accounts. Even the language (trolls, miscreants, spitefulness) and descriptions sounds like him, also suggests that he joined here to spy on what is being said about him (hardly a surprise):

Could be one and the same, Gene, I was really tired last night when he came here, it was late...

Some of us work for a living instead of begging...
