I always knew Crazy Bob was, well, "crazy". A crackpot. A nutbasket.
Two burgers short of a Big Mac. Fudged in the head. You know, "cuckoo"
insert ring around the ear gesture. Ever since Crazy Bob turned into
Mark David Chapman and started believing he was me, and signing his
messages with my name, I became convinced this guy was a "lunatic among
lunatics" on Usenet, never mind just RAO!
Then, I didn't understand how a 7phd degreed physicist, audio engineer,
film director, member of SAG and the IEEE, could possibly have the time
to spend every waking moment of every waking day, turning his entire
life into one long mad "soundhaspriority" obsession campaign. Of
course, by the same token, I couldn't understand how Robert and others
can believe that Dr. Richard Graham, a London psychiatrist for
adolescent behaviour, family man and mathematics professor, who has
announced that he's too busy to edit his own newsletters and does not
post on usenet, could possibly be me, posting all these messages on RAO
every day. But apparently, Robert and Ludovic Mirabel and Shovels and
Walt and Paul Packer and Steven Sullivan and Powell can all somehow
understand this, and find Crazy Bob quite credible in his assumption
that I must be Graham, simply because we both used the phrase
"soundhaspriority" (along with a few thousand other people in the
world... but who's counting?).
Given the fact that I was always able to predict that Robert would jump
on nearly every one of my messages within minutes of me posting it, no
matter what time of day or night, its clear this crazy usenet freak did
not have an actual job (if this crackpot doesn't respond to this
message within 24 hours, call a mortitician. Because it can only mean
he's dead). I guess when you're living in a mental institution as Crazy
Bob must be, time is basically all you have.
I received a letter from his old friend Brian McCarty today (reprinted
below), and what he says about Robert is a lot more credible than
anything Crazy Bob has ever said about him, me or anything, really.
Considering Robert Morein's obsessive agenda to libel and defame an
innocent man (Richard Graham) who has never posted here, it is Crazy
Bob himself who I find personifies "purposeless evil", as he calls it.
So now, the tale of "Crazy Bob Morein" is even clearer. As pathological
liars go, Morein makes Arny look like Mother Teresa. Morein is the
biggest bull****ter I've ever seen in the history of this newsgroup. He
doesn't know the meaning of sincerity or integrity. He does however,
know the meaning of "mad obsessive net stalker and delusional usenet
career troll". (How do you define a "career troll"? 7 years straight of
Crazy Bob obsessively netstalking people, with a promise of at least 7
more, pretty much does it).
THE BACKGROUND on Crazy Bob's Pathology:
Mark David Chapman, for those unaware, is the obsessive madman
responsible for shooting and killing John Lennon, who was a popular
figure who courted not an insignificant amount of controversy in his
public life. Chapman started out liking Lennon and The Beatles, but
later felt Lennon was a "phony", and sold out his ideals. He felt that
by killing Lennon, it would allow him to take Lennon's place.
Morein started out liking me, but now feels that I am a "phony", and a
sell-out. I've also been informed that Morein recently acquired a gun
license, and a handgun. Should I be worried that Crazy Bob will fly to
London to shoot Dr. Richard Graham (who he thinks is me), in order to
become Dr. Graham? Robert took a public vow recently to harass me
wherever I post on Usenet. As we have seen previous to that, Robert has
publicly admitted harassing the real Dr. Graham's colleagues at his
places of work at NHS and Priory, and as I have learned, our Crazy Bob
also harassed and threatened Graham's wife and Graham himself, at
around 3 in the morning, a couple of weeks ago.
It's disturbing enough that Robert thinks he's me and posts under my
identity, but apart from hawking "morphic green sex cream", Crazy Bob
has now taken to signing his messages "Love, SHP". I'm worried that if
Crazy Bob is not physically on his way to London to shoot and kill Dr.
Graham, a completely innocent party to all of this, he's already half
way there 'mentally'. It didn't take much to get Chapman on a plane
from Hawaii to NY, after all. If I ever find out that Crazy Bob Morein
bought a copy of Catcher In The Rye, then I'll be afraid for Dr.
Graham's life and will definitely be taking action against this crazy
crackpot that you've got on your group!
The truth behind Robert Morein's crazy bull****:

Then there's Robert Morein and Brian McCarty. Morein is obsessed with
McCarty and has been for some 7 years I gather. You can't get Morein
alone in a room for 5 minutes without him pouring his freaking heart
out to you about all the real-life hardships he's had to endure about
Brian McCarty. Including McCarty making it impossible for Morein to
openly do business on the web, and having the police raid Morein's
house for dope, and sending Morein's neighbour to the hospital (without
having ever met the guy). Morein was too chicken**** to meet Brian at
Brian's invitation, when Brian was in Morein's town on business. So all
of these very real-life actions were all done from what you call this
"virtual" reality. It may have nothing to do with "real life" to people
like you (or I, of course), but it most definitely does to many RAO
memers here.
You should be aware that the vast bulk of "incidents" cited by Morein
in his email to you (below) are either fictional, or were done by
Morein himself, I don't really know. At least some of the harassment
of others on usenet was done in order to justify his attacks on me, and
the email bombing and other internet harassment techniques he cites
were also done to me at the same time he was doing it to others.
Funnily, he tried his telephone schtick on my closest friends in LA,
who laughed in his face. He soon stopped that tactic. Virtually every
"fact" he posts about me is false, from my height and size to my
location and history.
The "fake endorsement" items he talks about ARE true, and putting them
up on a website kept him occupied for months trying to chase down every
item and "warn" these people. Chick Corea's manager and I are old
friends, and we had a good laugh about it - Morein left literally two
dozen messages at his office, insisting that he needed to personally
discuss the matter with Chick Corea! His grasp of fantasy vs reality is
so poor, you can get him to dance like a chimp with just a little
creative thinking. His major downfall is the internet, which for him
is his only reality, not understanding that it has little reflection on
reality. His letters to the Australian business regulators go into
their Bob Morein "crackpot" file, which I asked them to keep so that
Australian immigration can deny him a visitor's visa should he ever ask
for one. He's on the same kind of "watch" list as all terrorists.
It is notable that his stalking is confined to those overseas, who he
apparently believes won't go to Pennsylvania and kick his ass -
assuming that anyone even cares. I wish he was actually part of the
pro audio community, he'd then be at conferences with me like the AES
in Paris next month, and be easy to hunt down. Stories he tells about
"doing business with proxies" are just hot air - this is a guy that has
accomplished nothing in his life including business, where a modicum of
sanity is generally a prerequisite. His parents should be ashamed of
themselves for not kicking him out of their palatial home long ago.
Perhaps they knew he was incapable of coping in the real world, and
thought they were doing him a favor.

Thanks for the reply. You may be interested to know that just today, McCarty
faxed a complaint to two dental societies, naming them as codefendants in an
imaginary lawsuit, in which he claims that I am somehow using their facilities
to transmit scurrilous messages. The "evidence" cited in the fax are a bunch
of fictitious posts, authored by him, in the nature of racial, ethnic, and
homophobic slurs. He's even trying to pin antisemititism, on me, a jew. This
is the second time he's done this.
Characterisictically, the fax is unsigned, except by printed block letters, as
he is mortally afraid of putting his signature on anything, or conversing by
phone. In the past year, he has also reported me to the Screen Actors Guild,
of which I am a member, with allegations that I'm selling memberships, which
is both illegal and impossible. He put my elderly neighbor in a hospital. He
had the state police come to Ken Drescher's house, on the allegation he was
fencing. The pastor of another victim, and the school district, received
anonymous phone calls asserting the person was a child molester. He found a
guy in Newark, Delaware, who was dealing stereo out of his house, and, while
residing in Australia, successfully pursued a zoning violation complaint that
shut him down.But the thing which started it all on r.a.o. is when he got
someone mad at Bill Watkins, famous as designer of the Watkins bass driver. I
can't remember who the other side was, but I knew Watkins wasn't the kind of
guy that emails viruses. He also tried to get Jim Johnston fired from Lucent
(Bell Labs).
But I digress. McCarty is famous for is the fake endorsement. He has literally
hijacked the names of Chick Corea, an NPR radio host, the French Embassy, K1
Ventures (Singapore's largest venture cap firm), and many non-public figures,
including myself. What you did was very dangerous for me in particular,
because if he saw that I allowed your attribution to go uncontested, I could
end up on another McCarty website. Take a look at
http://www.coralseastudios.com. Currently, he's claiming a deal with Shanghai
Film Studio. Characteristically, he picks a target that has an insignificant
presence on the web. Only one small page on the SFT website is in English; the
rest is entirely for domestic consumption.
It's possible, perhaps even likely, that if I had never had the McCarty
experience, I would have simply laughed. As it stands, I do deal with venture
capital. The subject does come up, and I drag out my McCarty files, and spend
about half an hour, and give them some phone numbers to call.
Can you imagine my horror if I had to spend another half hour explaining yet
something else? Thanks for obliging me.
Another of his nasty tricks is spamming a mailbox to death. Since you have
posted that you believe the forgeries are from McCarty, you are now fair game
for this. It takes just the slightest brush. McCarty also uses the
website About.com in an interesting way. This is the only listserver on
the web that does not require an email confirmation of a subscriptpion. Back a
few years, he would pick his targets on a Friday, and subscribe them to
about 200 About.com listservs, shutting down an email box in a blizzard
of messages. The About staff is unavailable during weekends, so took until
the following Tuesday to get the listbots turned off. Although the FBI
investigation seems to have discouraged this, I still cannot display an email
address.
In fact, I cannot display my name on a website info page. In all my ventures,
I have to work through proxies, simply because of McCarty. Ken Drescher says,
in a singular _expression of hate, that he actually wishes McCarty were dead,
and I agree. This is why I keep pulling his chain. I
know that he is morbidly obese; I know that biological organisms have a
certain limited response to stress, and that when the response is exhausted,
the organism is weakened, or expires. My other friends who have suffered
through this have noted that ignoring him does not work. McCarty is not a
full-featured human being; he seems to personify purposeless evil.
I may have to change this email address shortly, because it's picking up some
spam. If you want me to drop you a line, just post something. And be aware
that McCarty could email you as me. I am a subscriber to Verizon;
fortunately, McCarty cannot authentically forge an email header from a domain
he doesn't have access to.
