I don't have a problem with coach belly and blackhole asking questions. As I've said many times, I don't know for a fact if kewlJ is a professional blackjack player, a short order cook, or Heide Fleiss's assistant. I don't know if mickey crimm makes more money machine gambling or as a high end escort servicing Montana widows. I must admit, however, that to a civilian such as myself, their narratives makes sense. And they have been vetted by other professional gamblers. One doesn't get on GWAE without expertise.

My problem with coach belly and blackhole is that they continually give Argentino/Singer a pass. Why is that? I can only guess that it's because he's anti-AP. I suppose it could be because there's a further relationship of some kind. I don't have any other theories.

Coach belly is known for his examination of details in service of providing (sometimes convoluted) "gotchas." Blackhole is known for advertising his bullshit meter. Yet neither looks very closely at anything Argentino/Singer posts, even when the posts are loaded with potential gotchas and bullshit red alerts.

I'm going to list some examples just from the last several months. Argentino/Singer posts something really odd or fails to post something, which is equally odd, and coach belly/blackhole don't have anything to say. The examples are all off the top of my head, so correct me if I'm wrong, coach. In each of these examples, I'm going to try to think like a private investigator.

1) Argentino/Singer posts about his family vacation in Tahoe, where Moses hangs out. He emphasizes that he and his wife never left the rented house at all, except for their daily five-mile walk. What an odd detail. One might almost think the poster is avoiding any Tahoe discussions by admitting he didn't actually see anything beyond four walls. It makes you go "Hmmmmmm, I guess I can't ask him anything about Tahoe this week."

2) Argentino/Singer claims that Gaming Today offered him a writing gig, but he turned it down. I provide the GT phone number and the email addresses for each of the editors. Now if mickey or kewlJ claimed they had turned down GT, would coach belly or blackhole have checked up on them? Did they check up on Argentino/Singer?

3) Argentino/Singer claims he won a five-team parlay and a 2K Patriot wager. Does anyone really think he would have passed on the opportunity for a screenshot, modest as the wagers may have been? Coach belly didn't ask for either the parlay or Pats screenshot, and he's into people posting results. Maybe he just missed it, and will ask now, eh? Very strange, both the lack of screenshots and the lack of questions.

4) Argentino/Singer admits to a default on a "lemon" RV purchase. He admits this for the first time, and the admittance coincides with people pulling up his info from investigative sites. Meanwhile, although he studiously avoids the word "owns," he says he has a $1.5 million RV. No questions or gotchas from blackhole or coach belly. But wait...

5) Argentino/Singer explains that his $1.5 million RV isn't driven to California or Nevada, ostensibly due to traffic congestion? So when he appears in places where Todd or Mr. Mendelson or I might be, the $1.5 million RV (purchased after defaulting on a cheap RV) will never appear with him. Pretty odd narrative. Quite a bit stranger than counting two tables, I'd say. And still, no questions or gotchas from blackhole and coach belly.

Blackhole's bullshit meter never blinked. Coach belly asked no questions. Very odd.

Now, I'm just riffing off the top of my head. It's possible I'm completely off base on everything. A photo of Argentino in Tahoe holding a December newspaper might show up. Or a screenshot of a five-team parlay and a 2K Pats wager. Or photos of a certain someone piloting the same $1.5 million RV during different seasons so as to establish it's not a rental. Or the letter/email from Gaming Today requesting Argentino do some columns. I could be completely, utterly wrong.

But this post isn't about Argentino/Singer. It's about why certain posters go after some people and not others. Is it intellectual dishonesty and disingenuousness? Why challenge counting two tables and not challenge all of these ridiculously problematic narratives?
