I was willing to give him a chance when I saw him come here and behave normally, and he was really doing a good job until the "Roger is Bob's boy!!!" stuff started. [/quote]
Ok Guys, here’s the deal.
First off I'm a she and not a he.
My dear friend Linda Riegert worked on Price for years. Over the years I spent a lot of time on the set and at TV City. I didn’t go to the Goodson offices often. I spent most of my time at Price hanging with Linda, and flirting with the crew and with the cute actors over on Y&R and B&B. I made a lot of friends on Price and at TV City.
Sadly Linda was one of the women Barker fired after she testified in his lawsuit against Holly. It was excruciatingly painful to watch my dear friend lose her job, her friends, her career, and her whole life as she knew it, all because she wouldn’t lie for Barker. The deposition questioning and testimonies were grueling and unbearable.
As a result I cannot stand Barker or Roger Dobkowitz. Every ruthless dictator has a lieutenant that actually carries out the dictator’s orders and does his dirty work, the firings, the betraying, the snitching. On Price that was Roger. He was not well liked, and even less respected.
In the original post that started this controversy the subject was felony perjury, and I posted that at least Barker wouldn’t be alone because “his boy Roger” would be in the cell next to his, citing one of Roger’s nicknames from the show. Roger’s other nickname, that in hindsight would have been more accurate, is BobbleDob, because whenever and whatever Bob said, i.e. with every lie Barker told Roger was right there bobbling “Yes Bob, that’s exactly what happened. Yeah, yeah that’s it.” “Lying through his teeth” as the original post said, and costing the jobs of many hardworking, longstanding Price employees. Obviously not a well liked guy.
TroubadorNando cites posters on GSN that make it uncomfortable for him to post there, namely me, DeNo1MatchGameFan, and atty1day. I can’t speak for DeNo1, and atty1day seems to only post facts and quotes from court documents blah, blah, blah. But for myself, rather than accept TroubadorNando’s apology and then turn around and post something he considers not “behaving normally” i.e. posting benignly pleasant, non-threatening anecdotes about Price, I have to ask TNando (and anyone else here), “If the truth and facts of Barker and his boy Roger consistently show that Barker was an ass**** and Roger was his right hand man in all the bad stuff that happened on Price, are you okay with it?”
It’s ok if you say “no”, because I have been beaten and/or banned from numerous websites. Some websites don’t want to hear anything other than Price was one big happy family. Others have these pseudo authorities who absolutely cannot tolerate someone with genuine inside information or someone who was actually there, that clearly know more than they do.
I can handle the rejection and keep looking for a forum in which to share the good about Price, and the bad, with gamers who love the show and don’t have personal problems with the facts. Trust me, it’s ok.
