Outrageous twisting of court records? Not to my eyes and I had no particular reason to come to the matter prejudiced. FWIW.
Gene wants everyone to respect, praise and support him for the person he insists that he is: a science fiction author, the host and producer of radio shows, a technology guru and award-winning legitimate journalist.
This requires not only buying into every one of Gene's pretensions (and to be fair we all have them, especially if called upon to promote ourselves), but also ignoring all of his horrible behavior. Thus it is anathema to even mention his begging emails on the Paracast forum, where who Gene thinks he is must be upheld and respected, and none of the shady things that he does can ever be acknowledged: "Let's move on."
The truth as Jack Brewer has laid it all out is, IMHO, quite damning (and frankly angering) when set alongside the narrative provided by years and years of Gene's own emails and forum posts.
Gene's response then is that he is the victim of obsessed online trolls, a hate pack, who with no explanation and for no reason that Gene can give (and frankly were one given I have a hard time imagining it would make sense to anyone save for Gene and possibly J. Randall Murphy), are determined to sabotage his otherwise flourishing career and prosperous personal life. Does this make any sense? Only if you acknowledge who Gene claims to be, and ignore all that Gene has done.
Is it a need for attention that prompts him to email Paul Kimball? Does he really expect some kind of validation, understanding and apology? (Apology? If so an apology for what?) I don't get it but, it's just one more baffling transmission from Gene in his motel room space capsule, out there in an increasingly eccentric orbit of reality.
He seems to have really slowed down on the begging emails though so I'll still hope that represents some progress toward Gene no longer expecting to make his way by ripping people off, living on his terms and on the sympathies of his poor abused email lists.
I don't think there's any helping Gene, he'll keep getting away with whatever he can until enough breaks that he can't go any more. But I can and do hope his craziness doesn't ferret any more generous donations from the good hearted and under informed. There is no reason for anyone to give this man another dime, unless they really want to contribute to his next venture in squatting.
