Goran, pay phone?-, could be. I wonder how many pay phones in large metro areas are not close to surveillance cameras.

Here in SJ the weekend past, a gun murder was filmed by surveillance cameras near St James Park

waiting_for_the_fall says

that is scary. It is best to be anonymous on the internet. who knows what crazies are out there?

Hence.. why I call myself "Thomas Wong"...

BACAH, a lot of video is filmed of crimes, but unless you have pretty much the perfect lighting, and a pretty good close-on shot of the person, most video is useless in identifying perps.

waiting_for_the_fall,
If what you think is right as I do, then you did the right thing with that deletion.
Thank you

Are we even sure someone made a call at all? Do we have anything besides one random poster that has said that?

Could be Roberto simply decided to no longer waste his time here, couldn't it?

Roberto? Impossible.

@The Professor please delete all threads that link to identifiable places for him above, since this is your posting.

Bob, this comment was done by a separate IP address.

From what you say you work at a Community College so it would be very easy for you to set up any number of accounts to troll the internet from.

I use my name, and have for years. Bobby Boy here is one of only three people in my many years of blogging who has ever cyber stalked me.

So in my opinion, Bobby Boy is the ultimate stalker, but why would I care?

This is just more Bobby BS.

If it wasn't a nervous breakdown, maybe Bob left because he's selling all his homes. Bob didn't want us to know he missed the peak and wouldn't get top dollar for his crapshacks.

how did Bob cyber stalk you and why would someone bother to do it?

Could be it wasnt. If it is though then its bad karma to be an outside stressor. I'd rather not take the chance if the chance is that the consequences are real to a real person even if they had been obnoxious. And in that case there can be innocents involved too like that golden retriever (never me one that wasn't a fine "person").

Except he's already posting here with an alias

well, that's too bad. It seems like a waste of time to stalk someone. Where's the benefit?

I know Bob will be back, he can't stay away for long since he's obsessed with this blog.
Bob always made me laugh with his ranting and raving. It was kind of pathetic and sad how he could never stop himself from responding to taunts. He just couldn't stop himself! Couldn't look away and ignore anyone disagreeing with his opinion.

Yeah, Bob will be back. Guaranteed.

waiting_for_the_fall says

how did Bob cyber stalk you and why would someone bother to do it?

He didn't. They just argued a lot. If Roberto 'cyber stalked' David, then David 'cyber stalked' Roberto.

Wow, I just checked all his reviews. As a teacher, usually, if you see a few bad reviews, its a red flag. He has dozens of pissed off students.

Isn't he a teacher ? He's probably just very busy.

But I think it's cute that you miss him.

Right, and one of those whack jobs caused Bob to leave.

How many students do you think he's taught? People are more likely to go to a place like Ratemyprofessor if they want to complain. Most who are happy just don't bother. It wouldn't surprise me if one or two from here have had fun posting up a comment or two on there as well.

Maybe Bob is on a really long bike ride. Really long.
He's out there. Somewhere. Pedaling up a storm. On his bike.
Because that's what he does.

He rides his bike.

In Phoenix.

The best place on earth.

With his hot young girlfriend. Nude. Soaking in sweat.

Most people don't bother at all. That's why, when you have a few, its usually a red flag. When that many show up, you've obviously pissed them off. I just took a look at his youtube vids, I can see why they get frustrated with him.

Bigsby says

He didn't. They just argued a lot. If Roberto 'cyber stalked' David, then David 'cyber stalked' Roberto.

I have no idea who Bob is, nor do I care.

He's proved to be a complete troll who is now just a nut job.

So now Bigsby, are you really sure this person is all there?

theoakman says

I just took a look at his youtube vids, I can see why they get frustrated with him.

Why would you bother?

lol, this was my favorite review

He put problems on the board and sat down. At the end of class, he solved a few and we left. Most of the time we sat around trying to figure everything ourselves. The most hilarious thing was him always surfing on MySpace.

Now replace Myspace with patrick.net

so much suing. so much loss. Underwater, can't sell.

Bob?

I'm a teacher, I was wondering what his teaching abilities were like.

His Financial Math videos seemed okay. Then again, I haven't taken a math class in decades.

btw, and this isn't a diss on Roberto, he looks like a perfectly, in shape, professional guy (sort of bad fashion sense though) but he looks exactly like my gay professor friend at USC.

Cool factoid: His first name is Robert, and his last name starts with an "R" as well. They even have very similar voices.

So now Bigsby, are you really sure this person is all there?

As opposed to you?

I suppose it would be easy for someone to email his school address and ask him wtf happend.

BTW I bought a house last year and posted about it and got roasted for 'being dumb'.
Its now worth 325k more than I paid which I can back up with very recent comps but I want to be anonymous. Only Roberto, and a couple others, said 'hey this guy will probably make bank' and I did.
Roberto has the cold take on reality that Mr Spock does - he doesnt 'suffer fools lightly'.

When you are always right - people hate you. Try telling everyone you know there is no god and no afterlife and Jesus was a con artist who got the death penalty from the government for banging too many jewish girls....its true and they will hate you.

It's a forum, isn't it? I can express an opinion. I've read your back and forth with Roberto. You frequently responded to posts he made that weren't directed at you. If the pair of you then indulge in a lot of arguing, which you both did, then you can hardly accuse him of cyber stalking you. You were the catalyst plenty of the time, so your complaining doesn't really wash.

waiting_for_the_fall says

The simplest solution is usually the answer: one of his former students made the threat.

so an out of state call, that says he posted ON THIS SITE that he had a gun and was going to go crazy at school...

and you conclude it had nothing to do with this site, but rather was a student?

prime time detective work, that! about on the level of most here's real estate prediction ability!

nw888 says

I guess someone got tired of your rudeness roberto. karma is a bitch isn't it?

prime candidate speaks up...

waiting_for_the_fall says

When Bob finds out it was one of his former students

someone calls, from out of state, and claims he posted ON PATRICK.NET that he had a gun and was going to go crazy at school...

you conclude it has nothing to do with this site... but rather a local student. good detective work, right up there with your real estate analysis...

still waiting? 3 years now?

Bigsby says

cyber stalking

Forgive me, I misunderstood.

Cyber Stalking is when a person goes on the internet, to stalk some one. You, or anyone can look me up on the internet. I have nothing to hide, or fear.

Bob kept challenging me, and every one here to look him up, look up his properties, but why would anyone bother?

Why would I or anyone care?

As you say, it's a forum. I don't care who you are. I'm old enough to take what information I want, or need, and move on.

Bob was dangerous because he was encouraging people to buy property, and saying they were stupid if they didn't buy property.

I'm happy to say that I have given my clients the best advice, to not buy, and if they own, they should sell.

I could go on, but like I said, anyone, at any time, can look me up. I have a very good internet presence, actually, it's kind of what I do now. It's a learning curve.

Welcome back, Bob!

As I said, Bob falls for it every time. He can't resist. Can't ignore and look away. Has to reply. Hilarious!!

And you wonder why he argues with you? And what do you mean you've been advising your clients to sell or not buy? You run a cleaning company, don't you? And to say that Roberto is dangerous because he's talked about his success in Phoenix is utterly ridiculous. If the bears on here had bought back in 2011 and 2012, then most of them would have seen their properties rise in value, substantially in many cases. Clearly very, very dangerous.

egads101 says

yes buying property 2 years ago would have been very very bad.

Yes, Bob it would have been a mistake.

As you know the property we bought in 2006 gave us a $64K profit.

The house you keep insisting is under water already has it's money out of it, $270K, but surprise, surprise, with the work we just completed we can now sell for a slight profit more.

@Patrick, this is a very sophisticated troll. If he did call in a gun threat using your website as the catalyst, you should think about if you want him, or her here.

As much as I hate feeding a troll, it is a fascinating train wreck you have going on here.

He's a sophisticated troll because he boasts about his success and argues with you about your often strange posts? Hmmm...
And you should knock your gun theory on the head.

This is a tough one to figure out, then Bob follows that with a comment about my right to bear arms?

@Partick, very sophisticated trolling.
