You've locked me out and banned my IP address, remember?

email addresses in the database. Every time we find one of your
multiple secret accounts, I remove the new email address from the
database.
Belson, just admit you thrive on creating drama. You really don't
want to be removed from the database because if you didn't keep
getting our emails you wouldn't be able to complain about getting the
emails.
Email me the list of addresses. I'll be happy to remove them. But I
know I will not be seeing that email from you.

Once again, I ask you: Why was I banned?
Simple question. You should be able to answer it straight.
I never did anything to deserve a ban, IMHO. So tell me what I did.
It's all I've ever asked.
OK, that, and to stop sending me TPR mail.
(My e-mail address is on the profile for my TPR account, so that

I don't think you'll get very far using reason and logic Chris...
Profile of the Sociopath
Glibness and Superficial Charm
Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving
behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly
hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument
to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."
Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for
them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught
up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities.
Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their
core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets
and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and
accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means
and they let nothing stand in their way.
Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is
more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged
by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would
upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their
promises.
Incapacity for Love
Need for Stimulation
Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are
normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.
Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only
contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage
of them.
Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and
approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as
creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful,
all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries,
no concern for their impact on others.
Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet
"gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends;
aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing,
etc.
Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or
indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame
themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously
committed.
Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all
sorts.
Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the
future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.
Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story
readily.
I count easily 13 out of 15 that I have personally witnessed.

Belson, those email addresses have been removed from the database for
a long time. You know this because you're getting the emails through
the fake screen names you've made up that we haven't discovered yet.
I'll ask you again, send me an email with the emails you want to have
removed from the database and I'd be more than happy to remove them,
but I know that email will never arrive in my inbox.
Please stop stalking us.

Hey Douchey McDouchehead. Speaking of sociopaths, lets discuss your
behavior, shall we?
Profile of the Sociopath
Glibness and Superficial Charm.
-On your website, and in person, you are known to be charming to many
people, only to get them on your side. As soon as they do something
you do not like, the superficial charm is off, and you ban them from
Red Dot City. It is always as such. "Come to my site and read my TPRs,
but even QUESTION me, you get kicked out." Ive seen it with my own
eyes.
Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving
behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are
covertly
hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument
to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
-Your teenage fanboy members are merely instruments to be used. While
you get them to go on trips, they are delegated to be in your crew,
which makes them want to buy and buy your merch and be a part of the
site. Again, when they do something which is not wrong and is
something you do not like, the instrument is tossed aside like an old
worn out guitar. This also applies to your former wive(s), your
children, who you used only to move on to the next. Check MySpace,
your own daughter wont even talk to you.
Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."
-It seems to me its YOUR RIGHT to get ERT anywhere you want or to use
your camera anywhere you want, or to steal anywhere you want. Your
arrest record proves it, as does the fact you were thrown out of one
park for stealing, and banned from video usage at others.
Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible
for
them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught
up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities.
Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
-You lie all the time to anyone who is not part of your clique. You
give them reasons why you ban them, though those reasons are only a
front.
Incapacity for Love - Need we say more?
Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life
story
readily.
-Check the arrest record.
Im not going into the rest, it would take too long, and you simply
arent worth it.

Sigh.
See, you still lie.
You say I'm only getting spammed at dummy accounts. That's a lie. My
primary personal e-mail account still recieves each and every piece of
mass e-mail that you send.
You say I'm stalking you?
What a laugh. After you banned me from TPR, I made a couple posts at
Coaster Fanatics, and within hours, you were on there bashing me on
their forum.
I joined WestCoaster, and you sent the moderators there personal e-
mails as to why I shouldn't be allowed to be a member of their forums.
Same thing at RideWorld.
So, really, who's stalking who?
I've never done anything to wrong you, in fact, I used to DEFEND you
when people told me how they disliked you. When I lived in Japan, you
asked me for trip planning advice and assistance in countless e-mails
(to the same address I'm trying to get you to stop spamming now, in
fact), if I could send you foodstuffs, and get you those Tokyo Disney
New Year's Eve Special Event Tickets, and I did all that and more.
All I ever wanted was decent treatment in response. Once I left Japan
and was no longer useful to you, though? I was dirt to you.
So obviously, you never liked me, and that's fine. It's the way that
you used me and my wife that made me realize what kind of person you
are and that all those people who warned me about you and bashed you
to me were right.
So, you know what?
With all the lies that you spread, all the bridges you burn and all
the people you mistreat, it's no wonder you've set yourself up in a
little castle. But someday, you're going to find yourself alone in
there.
People can toss out stuff about your ex-wives, and all your kids, your
criminal record all they want though, because it isn't slanderous, and
it isn't libelous, and you can't do anything about it, as long as it's
true.
My concience is clean.

Robb, I don't get why you won't stop being a hater and just talk to
us. We we're all friends with you at some point. It seems like all of
a sudden you got this "buisness" attitude like you had to cut ties for
your own protection or something.
None of us are out to get your buisness market share or customer
demographic or anything. We're not going to start competing websites
or tour groups. I don't get it why you gotta be internet tough guy all
the time.
I ate a dead body, I ain't proud of it. I told you all about it, and
you all applauded. We got problems, look, I'm haunted by a carnival. I
could run and tell a doctor but what for? I just put it on tape with a
fat beat and make a quick buck, I'm like fuck.
Anyway, we don't get to ask you stuff on TPR anymore, and we hear
stuff like how some peeps on your trip were stealing stuff from parks
and how Cedar Point refuses to give you ERT and access to stuff so we
gotta comment amongst ourselves. Since you are a buisness now instead
of a homie you are subject to critics and watchdogs and we are
entitled to broadcast that as most of us are (or we're) paying
consumers of yours.
I'm not stupid, I know what you want. You want a controlled media
outlet where you can ban critics and valid complaints by banning
people that disagree with you but still have inactive accounts so you
can brag about readership numbers to park PR people that don't know
any better. You can't have it both ways though dude.
Plus since you cut off communication with peeps we can't get your side
of storys we hear. We have all been in this hobby as long as you have
and we have park connections too. I get stories from PR peeps I've
known and stuff gets passed around amongst us. I'm really intrigued by
the whole Holiday World blackmail Tamar no seatbelt thing you are
supposedly involved with.
We're not stalking you dude, you have made yourself a very visible
personality in the hobby so we're going to follow what you're doing
just for the interest you generate.
I wish you'd just come back on the boards and open a dialog instead of
being all secret agent about everything, unless you really are a
sociopath and are sensitive about it or something.

1. Robb acts like Hitler.
2. Hitler was a tyrant.
3. Therefore, Robb is Hitler.
I like that logic.
GodsOnSafari
Invoking Godwin's Law for the purpose of thread killing seems unfair.
I should check the Laws of the Intranetz about how that works.
Personally, I'm thinking less genocidal dictator, more televangelist
faith healer. I suppose to the televangelist's credit, they generally
admit to leaving the wife and kids like a scumbag and ask for
forgiveness instead of ever changing lies about what happened and
when.
Rollermonkey
Rollermonkey profile at your site. You've got my e-mail blocked, so I
cannot e-mail you. (I get the failure to deliver notice when I try.)
Honestly, I know that you don't care, because if you ever deleted me,
then all of the videos and PTRs I posted at his site would suddenly be
changed from Rollermonkey to Guest, like a lot of the threads/posts
that are made at other forums by people that have actually been
deleted.
So, it'd be obvious to others that something was up, and since nobody
can question the great Robert Lee Alvey Jr. or your actions...
You won't do it.
I still laugh that the TPR Terms Of Service claim that if you ever
post a picture or video there, that he owns it. Even YouTube,
PhotoBucket and Flickr never try to make such an outrageous claim.

3. then A = B
Correct:
1. if A = B
2. and B = C
3. then A = C
Try this:
1. By constantly complaining about Robb you're acting like a skipping
CD.
2. Skipping Cds are annoying.
3....well, I'll let you complete the logic.

Tell me why I was banned, delete my account and stop spamming me, none
of it is that difficult, Robert.
For that matter, actually tell me that I've been banned. I only have
heard that I'm banned from TPR trips from people who went on later
ones. Never from you, though. Weird, huh?
Kind of like how you never were banned from ACE, huh? You just ran

I don't know why you are hung up on the word "co-own" regardless if
that word was including in the language, by posting the videos you
still granted Theme Park

reserves the right to use your videos in updates, DVD releases, front

I'm not getting into any personal discussion of your TPR account on a
public forum. If you wish to discuss this with me, like I have said
many times already, please email me about it, however I know that
email will never arrive because if it did, you wouldn't have any

Except of course, I DID e-mail you about it, and all I got from you
was "grow a thicker skin." Your avoidance of that topic is comical.
I'm the banned one, if my conduct was illegal, and/or offensive, then
it's MY image that would be tarnished by bringing it up in public.
But, since everything I've been told thus far by third parties were
lies, that's YOUR reputation that would be tarnished if this was
discussed in a fair, impartial and open forum.
And we all know that you can't have that happening. Your family might
suffer! Well, at least the members that you currently acknowledge
exist. But that's as far down that ugly road I'll go.
On the other, less important topic, I suspect that choice of language,
co-ownership, would be very interesting to a copyright lawyer.
Unlike the 'entertainment' lawyer, whom you claim to be in contact
with.
Fair Use, what a laugh. The real reason you're making the TPRTV thing
is because you know it's just a matter of time before YouTube starts
muting or deleting your videos.
Any ways, once again, I ask you: Tell me why I was banned, delete my
account at TPR, and stop spamming me, and I'll ignore everything you
do.
It's SO easy! Why won't you do it?

Don't get mad at Robb for failing to read his contest rules. Most, if
not all, contests in which entries are judged (video, photo, song
writing, short film, etc) have it as part of the rules that anything
submitted to the contest becomes property of the party holding the
contest. I did a quick Yahoo search for "video contest" and found
these:
http://www.justdoone.org/videocontest/contestrules
(d) At the end of the Skill Contest, in Sponsor’s discretion, all
participating Entry Videos may remain posted and available for viewing
on Sponsor’s Website.
License of Rights to Entry Videos: (a) All Entry Videos submitted,
become the property of Sponsor and will not be acknowledged or
returned.
http://www.farmtoschool.org/newsletter/jan09/OfficialRulesoftheRealFoodIsVideoContest.pdf
Grant of Rights in Videos Submitted
Submission of a video constitutes the irrevocable right to the
National Farm to
School Network of all rights in the video, all rights to use, copy,
sublicense, edit,
modify, make derivative works, publish, exploit, transmit, distribute,
publicly
perform, publish, delete or display the content of and elements
embodied in the
video and the video itself, in whole or in part, in perpetuity in any
and all media
(whether now existing or hereafter devised) without limitation, and
without
consideration or acknowledgment to the entrant and the unconditional
right to use
the idea and statements about the video for advertising/publicity
purposes without
additional compensation, except where prohibited by law.
Those were the first two links. I'm not going to waste my time with
links from the other search results but I'm sure if you check other
video contests you'll find the same/similar stipulation in the rules.
