M. SINGH

From CaseyPedia

GENTLEMEN,

We commend to your attention the name of possibly the most eloquent, and certainly the most scrupulously polite, member of the Haterz™ community, M. Singh.

Mr SINGH is too modest to provide much (or any) information about his biographical circumstances, but he appears to possess considerable adeptness in the dark arts of Photoshop (that invaluable creation of Mr KNOLL et al), as well as a formidable fund of expertise in other areas for the purposes of commentary on the activities of Mr SERIN, Mr SWABY, Mr DAWG, Mr RATLAB and others nearer the periphery of this saga.

One of Mr DAWG's contributors is so impressed with Mr SINGH that he dubs himself 'I Like M SINGH'. This sentiment is echoed by the delectable Ms ASPETH, who slyly upped the eligibility ante by introducing evidence of her own sophisticated literary tastes by means of the following interjection:

When I read his sign-off, it always makes me feel like I'm in a Rohinton Mistry novel.^[1]

Mr SINGH maintains an online presence via the 'weblog' M. SINGH SCANDAL SHEET.

We remain,

The CaseyPedia Editors

[edit] M. SINGH Writes

M. Singh on Mr. SERIN's image:

Where is the obligatory CafePress merchandise? Your Adobe Photoshop skills, combined with your androgynous appearance, may provide a much-needed source of revenue.^[2]

Mr. SERIN needs supporters like you to take avant-garde photographs of him. You may wish to inquire about his "best side" before committing his image to your camera.^[3]

M. SINGH on CashCall's collection techniques:

I am intrigued by one of Mr. SERIN's recent comments concerning a "work-out department." Perhaps other sub-prime lenders should follow CashCall's commitment to employee health and well-being by establishing "work-out departments" of their own. Physical training is one method of relieving stress -- especially that caused by rapidly defaulting borrowers.^[4]

M. SINGH on Ms. SUPRUN:

The fact that he is purchasing bulky furniture may mean that he intends to stay longer than his sister-in-law expected. I hope, for her sake, that she does not let Mr. SERIN encroach upon any more of her home than he is entitled. Otherwise, she may come home one evening and find that she is the proud recipient of a garage conversion.^[5]

You can also see that she is qualified for "premium overtime." I imagine she volunteers for that in order to spend some quality time away from Mr. and Mrs. SERIN.^[6]

Many of you have been wondering why his sister-in-law demanded that she be paid with a certified check. I assume that she did not want Mr. SERIN to stage a photo opportunity for his journal, where he hands his sister-in-law an oversize check in the vein of "Publishers Clearing House".^[7]

M. SINGH on Mr. SERIN's threatened eviction:

Perhaps his sister-in-law will find an alternative to the court system. She may recruit upstanding members of the tight-knit Russian immigrant community to perform binding arbitration between her and Mr. SERIN. (If this is the case, then perhaps his bartering agreement with the chiropractor may provide some welcome relief.) However, more importantly: Where will Mr. SERIN live next? My prediction is that he will ask his readers for lodgings. I suppose someone reading this message may attempt to agree to taking him in -- either because the reader believes such a situation would provide untold amounts of first-person comedy, or because the reader has fallen victim to Mr. SERIN's supposed mastery of "The Secret."^[8]

M. SINGH on Mr. SERIN's tax escapades:

A quick check of IRS publications shows no clear-cut form to document one's "crazy adventures." The current crop of tax preparation software falls short of his expectations as well. There is not a single package on the market that automatically provides three-dimensional pie charts showing "where all the money went." [...] To paraphrase Spongebob SQUAREPANTS, these will be the "best tax returns ever." We should be so afraid.^[9]

Mr. SERIN is to be given credit for his excellent use of fuzzy logic. Does he intend to write his tax return in Prolog?^[10]

M. SINGH on "cute agent lady" Ms. COLEMAN:

Perhaps we can add Ms. COLEMAN to the ever-growing list of people affected by Mr. SERIN's negligence. Or was Mr. SERIN, in his own misogynistic matter, attempting to do her a favor? Perhaps he thought: "The agent lady is trying to find my house a good buyer. In return, I should help her find a good husband." If Mr. SERIN was marketing a movie script, a romantic sub-plot like this would have been critical.^[11]

M. SINGH on Mr. SWABY:

The demographic and career information volunteered by the readers of Exurban Nation confirms a very important point -- one that Mr. SWABY may have missed. I believe the reason he wishes to "out the haters," so to speak, is because he believes that only a professional mortgage broker is qualified to speak about Mr. SERIN's actions.^[12]

You may have heard of the Church of the SubGenius[tm]. Messrs. SERIN and SWABY have created the Church of the SubPrime[tm]. Not only does this provide a vehicle of "sweet" 501(c)(3) tax-exemption benefits, it also gives them an even bigger opportunity to court media attention. [...] Its misogynistic scriptures preach the evil of tinfoil clothing on females, and advocate a return to "traditional duties" for women -- such as cabinet assembly, pool cleaning, lawn-mowing, and basic wage earning. The first thing they plan to do is picket foreclosure auctions, such as the one this Friday. Also, in a bold move, they are also planning on picketing the funerals of Wells Fargo and RE/MAX employees. You can see a still image of their recent efforts here.^[13]

I believe that if Mr. SERIN wishes to make lucrative sales, he needs to target the "upscale hater." Either that, or he needs to tailor his advertisements to the part-time mortgage brokers that are sure to read his blog. Will we see ads for Axe body spray and the BMW 3-Series anytime soon?^[14]

M. SINGH on Mr. SERIN's tortured contractual style:

I was taken aback by both the grammatical errors and the poor attempts at legal jargon. I wondered to myself: How could Microsoft Word not catch this? In order to find out, I opened Word and started typing the contract exactly as he had it. As you can see from this screenshot, the Office Assistant had a very amusing response.^[15]

M. SINGH on Mr. SERIN's blue ball:

I wonder if Mr. SERIN received an instructional DVD with his purchase of a stability ball. If so, I presume it is lost forever under an avalanche of unopened envelopes.^[16]

M. SINGH on sweet media:

I propose that a better avenue would be the network television staple “The Jerry Springer Show.” Mr. SPRINGER could introduce surprise guests such as Robert KIYOSAKI, Savvy Chris, The East Coast Mentor, representatives of Wells Fargo’s fraud division, and the man who loaned $3000 to Mr. SERIN. The show would culminate with a fight between Mr. SERIN and the “No Limits Ladies” — with improvised weapons ranging from folding chairs to large blue exercise balls.^[17]

M. SINGH brings a scholarly light to Mr. SWERIN's trolling:

It is indeed possible that Mr. SERIN writes in a way to generate as much negative feedback as possible. However, I would not be so bold as to rank him with garden-variety Internet trolls. Their out-of-pocket expenses nowhere match those of Mr. SERIN.

There are two interesting journal articles that might shed light on this situation. The first, Allure of Negative Feedback: Self-Verification Strivings Among Depressed Persons has an interesting premise: People with negative self-assessments "preferentially solicited unfavorable feeedback, although receiving such feedback made them unhappy." Why? Because the feedback helps "to confirm their firmly held self-conceptions out of a desire to maximize their perceptions of prediction and control." [...] The second article, which I believe has already been brought to Mr. SERIN's attention, is Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments.^[18]

M. SINGH claims a first:

GENTLEMEN,

I believe that I have the singular honor of being the first to comment here.

I remain, M. SINGH ^[19]

M. SINGH submits award-winning 6 Degrees of Casey Serin to Mahatma Gandhi entry:

Both Messrs. GANDHI and SERIN had "early riser" habits: "GANDHI rose early, usually at three-thirty, and before his first bowel movement (during which he received visitors) he spent two hours in meditation, listening to his 'inner voice.'" Mr. SERIN, as you know, claims to have an "early riser" habit, and entertains his site's visitors by moderating comments while on the toilet.^[20]

[edit] M. SINGH Speaks

M. SINGH was a caller on CHJTS's "IAFF demise" talkcast.^[21] He also spoke to Mr. SERIN on the final (for now) Foreclosure Fridays talkcast, a conversation in which he lost his usually sanguine and measured demeanor to bellow: "GET OFF THE INTERNET!"^[22]

Of this latter appearance, he noted:

GENTLEMEN,

Thank you for your positive comments concerning my admonishment of Mr. SERIN. I am glad it was well received. [...] I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to my neighbors. Not only does Mr. SERIN make home ownership more difficult for them, but they also had to listen to me berate him.

I remain,

M. SINGH ^[23]

Fellow Hater Mr. MINATTI subsequently created a visual accompaniment ^[24] to said admonishment and beration. We commend this to all our readers too.
