That email from Mr. Singer highlights a couple of things. Mr. Singer has never believed I'm me because he gets confusing feedback when he tries to pin down my address(es) and social security number(s). Oopsie, did I use plural(s)!?! Rob also can't track me down on the internet by simply googling. He'd have to google something specific (like
www.vegasWiseGuys.com). Of course he thinks he has the best bag of tricks regarding pinning down someone's location or identity, and he does not. He's actually pretty vanilla. But he gets very frustrated and adamant when his kindergarten private investigator stuff doesn't work. (Did I mention my brother-in-law was the biggest P.I. in New Mexico at one point?)
Anyway, this shows you the weird psychoticism Rob displays...which brings us to Mr. Mendelson, who has always claimed Rob's internet persona is one thing and his "real" personality is something else. Well, Mr. Mendelson of course has it completely backwards because if the bulk of someone's interactions outside their family are weirdness and psychotic, and their interactions with you are fine, then you're the one being fooled. So either Mr. Mendelson is a real bad judge of how people behave when they're not with him, or he's just been helping Rob be psychotic all these years. Most of the people who refuse to engage Mr. Singer, like the guy who was on teams of video poker players and Dancer and Scott, refuse to engage him because Mr. Singer has demonstrated the kinds of behaviors in that email to you.
Gaming Today didn't dump Mr. Singer, who was writing a free, well-written, and relatively popular column, because he was an upstanding citizen and friend to all. Mr. Singer, I predict, will just get worse as he gets older.
