After Alan posted his address and email for me to send the material, which he did in response to Rob claiming I wasn't me, I posted that it would be on the way. Alan then PMed me that it wasn't necessary, and that he believed me. I said it was necessary because in 40 years I had never fudged a number or made a claim that was inaccurate (therefore the name of my business, Bob Dietz's Integrity Sports), and Rob had to be proven completely wrong to keep my reputation clean in case my plane went down tomorrow.
Alan then said it would be okay to just send some photos of the front pages of things. I said the package was already en route, which it was, but that I would email photos of the cover and first few pages of the paper I presented at the National Conference on Gambling and Risk-Taking at Bally's in Atlantic City because I had not wanted to damage the binding by flattening it on a copier. So I did that, which Alan privately said he got.
Alan then announced with a post that he had received the package.
To be fair to Alan, he privately made clear that he believed me. To be fair to me, I'm not sure why he hasn't taken a look, said publicly I am who I said I was (which Rob disputed), said I did what I've said I've done (which Rob disputed), and said that whatever expertise I claim is backed by wide-ranging credentials from neutral third parties (unlike Rob).
This has never been about Alan not believing me. I have received PMs from other people who have said they believe I am who I claimed and did what I said. This is about demonstrating publicly that Rob was completely wrong, and that his theory that anyone with expertise would of course pop up on a three-second google search is also very, very wrong. Rob has accused me of identity theft. I think that needs to be publicly debunked. The material in the package demonstrates I have been doing this in a public fashion for 40 years, regardless of google results.
It's all about truth. Some people tell the truth, undeniable or otherwise. Some do not.
