Well, it appears as though Kevin Weinberg, aka Parogar has come completely unhinged. He has recently sent Avery’s original victim (the bullied author from our post Carpet Bomber #10, Avery Duncan) a threatening message on Facebook. Actually, he sent her 6 of them, all saying the same thing. We were given permission by this author to share the message with our readers. We want to let our readers know that she is innocent of his accusations. She has never contacted either Kevin or Avery or any of their friends in two years. She has also never called anyone any names or bullied them. It was the other way around. She was called these horrible names by Avery and her friends. She was stalked, attacked, and libeled. And her books were trashed.
As you read the message below, notice how Kevin says that she’s “making him” do these things. As if he’s not consciously making these decisions by himself as an adult. You will also notice the projection of his own behavior and that of his friends onto the author and onto us. Namely, accusing all of us of bullying him and Avery. Most importantly, you will hear the threat in his message, that he will destroy this author’s career, on which he has already started to act. As a result of his attacks and the attacks of his friends, this bullied author has had to delete her accounts on Goodreads, Facebook, and Wattpad just to get away from them.
Kevin, if only you had left it alone. The same goes for Avery and all of your friends. If only Avery had just apologized and removed the carpet bombs from this author’s books, none of this would have happened. But instead, what did you all do? You came to our blog with insults, accusations, and threats. We can’t even tell you how many of these we’ve received, nor will we repeat many of them they were that disgusting and hate-filled. You created a media storm, rallying all your friends to do your bidding. You and your friends not only targeted and harassed this author, but other authors as well — authors who have nothing to do with any of this. You and your friends have also trashed their books and while you did all of this, you were the entire time labeling us bullies for calling you out on it. No one here has contacted you or harassed you or threatened you or bullied you in any way. All we’ve done is expose your behavior. And we will keep doing that until you stop this nonsense.
You say you want all of this to stop? Really? Okay, here’s what you do. STOP HARASSING AND BULLYING THIS AUTHOR! Don’t message her. Don’t email her. Don’t call her. Don’t text her. Don’t contact her in any way. You and Avery and all your friends need to leave both her and her books alone. For that matter, you also need to leave any other authors you’ve threatened and targeted alone as well. Apologize for what you’ve done and remove your carpet bombs. Then, we recommend taking the advice the AFT have been giving you. Shut down your computer, go outside and take a long walk or go on a bike or boat ride. Or better yet, go to the beach and chill. Just stay away from the internet for a while. You live on Staten Island for heaven’s sake! There is SO much more to do where you live than sitting on your computer and plotting online flame wars against others.
Go enjoy your life. You will be much happier.
It’s your choice.
It’s gotten to the point where I can no longer tell if he actually believes his own lies, or if he’s really that stupid. Regardless, someone needs to have this guy dragged off to a padded room, because he’s lost his last marble.
This guy is headed for a padded cell.
Unhinged is an understatement.
Can someone please explain to me why Parogar feels the need to insult and offend people, instead of just apologising. Isn’t it sad that he has nothing better to do than bully other people?
The only person who can explain that is him. And I don’t think he can, in any way that would make sense to rational human beings. He’s a gibbering lunatic.
I’m sorry.. What is going on??? I just looked at this article and, who is this guy? And who’s Anne Rice? Can someone explain please?
Go back and read the previous posts, Hallie. Anne Rice is a best selling author that he targeted. Her novel Interview with a Vampire was a hit movie with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.
Some people turn to the world of books because they don’t get along with the rest of the world. Unfortunately, some of these are, not just unsociable or overimaginative, but mean and hostile and unstable, and they come in with gigantic chips on their shoulders.
But this Parogar character tops them all. Even the mean girls who seem to make up the bulk of the bullies featured on this site look sane in comparison. Parogar is like some guy in a raincoat who keeps bumping into walls and then lighting fires in revenge and claiming that people who laughed at him put demons in his head that forced his hand.
Lord. This guy needs help bad. Really bad. Lord.
I’ve heard that this guy is losing friends and followers every day by his threats, insane accusations and lies. He needs to pull away from this, apologize, and get on with his life. He’s not helping anyone, especially himself. Anyone with brains can see that he’s IN THE WRONG and is ruining his own future as a writer and whatever else he is trying accomplish. He’s playing the victim when in fact, he’s threatening to create more victims. If he starts attacking more innocent authors, he’ll find himself facing lawsuits as there is proof all over the internet now, of his threats.
So true. Doesn’t he realize his Internet reputation is forever? Whenever people Google his name into eternity, they’ll see what a douche bag he is. Well, I guess that’s a good thing. Then people will know to stay away from him.
I think Kevin needs meds. Lots of them. If he isn’t on them already.
