OY VAY. That's what's going on.

In a recent post by Money he quoted me as having said that Rob was suicidal and that he had a gambling problem. This isn't close to my original statements. Even though I had wanted to recuse myself from this thread I fell it best I clarify these points since they are so personal and damaging if true. They are not.
As a off-handed comment I told Rob he reminded me of a guy I knew about 15 years ago that had a baccarat system, that ended up killing himself. The similarities between Rob and my acquaintance were speech patterns and mannerisms. I did not mean to imply to Rob or anyone else that Rob was suicidal because he reminded me of a guy I knew that was. He just reminded me of this guy. It would be like saying hay you remind me of Marilyn Monroe. Doesn't mean I expect you to have an affair with a Kennedy and wind up naked and dead in a hotel room. For the record I do not think Rob is suicidal, nor did I ever intend to mean this. I said it in a private email to Rob and certainly never would have said anything like that in forum even if I thought it was true, WHICH I DO NOT.
The comment about Money having a gambling problem was not mine either. I had passed on to money that someone I knew thought he might have a gambling problem, based on some posts he had made that were read and taken out of context. We had a phone call about it and the issue was resolved with me satisfied that I had passed on what I was asked to pass on. I have no opinion on whether or not money has a gambling problem. I am not a licensed therapists and leave such things up to the professionals.
I hope this clears things up.
Sincerely,

Frank,
I am so confused.
Recently, MoneyLA claims you told him that he is "an addicted gambler" and that he is in "need immediate psychiatric help" and that you also warned him that "Rob that he may be suicidal."
Yet, you state something quite different in your last message.
MoneyLA is a well known celebrity, a reporter who has interviewd 4 Presidents, and an experienced television reporter and newscaster.
You, on the other hand, are an author and former professional gambler.
So my quandry, as you can imagine is who is being most truthful. Whom should I believe is reporting the facts accurately? You, with your fancy expensive words, or the news journalist?
Well, I am not going to list the numerous reasons as to whom I choose to believe. I could spend time and include many things said by either/both of you.
But I have a small problem with that approach. I do not recall anything you've written that I found less than credible.
Sadly, with others, that is not always the case.
So, because I choose to believe your side of this issue, and what was said, Mr. Frank Kneeland, you win.
Sorry MoneyLA, but IMHO, (and I am only speaking for myself here. Others may reply with their opinions which may or may not be similar) your reputation precedes you. Your credibility is sorely lacking.
Now, Money, I am not saying that you lied in your written message. You may have written what you "remember", or chose to remember from the communications. You hear and remember only what you choose to.
But, once again, (IMHO) your version of events seems to be sorely lacking in veracity.
Credibility is a hell of a thing to have. Or lose.
