Bob Wheeler is a cunt. I know from personal experience. I worked with him to build LFZ many years ago. He made promises of payments that never showed up, and was threatening and generally just a complete beating to work with at all times. He had an extremely high opinion of himself and his importance, and really got off on being worshiped on his own site. A hero in his own mind, as his book cover shows. Major little man Napoleon complex going on there, he's very sensitive about being called short, which he definitely is (notice how he's always wearing high heeled boots LOL).
After I bailed on him when he shorted and failed to pay me several times for work, he left me a rambling VM about how worthless I was and how LFZ was nothing, he was going to "go take a HTML class and figure out this shit on his own." LOL, ok bro. Of course, LFZ crashed a few weeks later when he's trying to upgrade it, and he immediately calls me to swoop back in and fix it. Yeah, no - especially when you start off your message with "I know you intentionally fucked my shit up and you need to take responsibility and fix it or I'm going to sue you." He threatened to sue a lot. Eventually I told him "go for it, I'm judgement proof, p.s. fuck off" Never heard from him again.
A few months later the OSU bus debacle happened. I'm amazed that people didn't see through his bullshit more, and feel bad that people got screwed. Imagine how bad it would have been if LFZ had progressed as far as Shaggy/Surly and treefiddy...I'm convinced he would have stolen a whole lot more than he got away with. Who craters their entire reputation for a few grand? It's been years since I thought of ole' Bob, I wonder what ditch he's slithering around in now out by Mexia...
