Post This Isn't Mando Is It? I Don't Think So

I found this message on one of the other CATM message boards on another CATM site which claims to be from Mando (Isaac Ruiz). It sure doesn't sound like Isaac to me, even tho I don't know much about him. From what I read on some CATM message boards I remember reading on a few CATM message boards (& I think these may have been one of them) where some lady was able to track Mando down & talked to him on the phone & how nice he was & he'd wrote her. Reading this message here I'm wondering if it's written by someone pretending to be Mando. I remember the lady said Mando didn't have access to the internet yet & they were trying to figure out how to get him into a chat room so we could all talk to him... Figured folks would be interested so here's the link to it:

Cool

I think, after reading the site, that it probably was someone pretending to be Mando. I do remember Starshinej from
our group here receiving a phone call from Mando back in March sometime. I don't know whatever happened to that situation though
because as you say, he didn't have any way
to correspond with us. She would probably know if she sees this message. I did recognize some of the other names on that message board though didn't you? Maybe they
would know for sure.

I just read the post over at Starshine's board and that doesn't sound like something a sane person would write. I don't know Issac Ruiz either but I highly doubt he would use a reference to Russian Roulette. That was really poor taste for whoever posted that.

On going back to that same board, I found several messeges by "Issac" posted there..all on the same day, May 11. Gee, I don't know what to think. In one of his posts he sounds almost like a thug and a stalker. But in another post he sounds like he knows an awfull lot about her. Kinda scary. Maybe one of us should write to Starshine and ask her about this.

Hi,
I read the message board and that was creepy.
That doesn't sound like the Isaac(Mando) that Freddie's mother wrote about in her book
it must be some guy whose a few bricks short of a load

When I saw that I wondered if it was someone pretending to be Mando. Why they would do that I dunno but the messaage sure didn't sound like the Mando we know. Hope everything go okay for the lady who was trying ot get in touch with Mando.Maybe she needs to let Mando (Isaac) know what's going on. I figure he might need to know that someone is impersonating him. Weird... Hope all turns out well for her & Isaac/Mando (The REAL Mando). That Russian Roulette comment was not very tasteful considering what happened to dear Freddie...

It's a shame someone would do that to Mando. He seems like a really nice guy!

Talking

I'ts Mando!!! but please know that even if that letter sounds rought to all of you, it's a joke to Starshine. I know it's him 'cause he answered my letter on that same site (the one I sent to him)...He answered to me in spanish and he also send me a message on my phone, cause I send him another letter. Please, if he said that, he didn't mean it!!! How do I know it's him..'cause the way he answered the letter to me in spanish it's the same way he left the message on my phone. Let me try to explain: You know the difference between an englishmen accent and a nothamerican accent (even on the way they write). I can't clearly recall Mando as a mexican by the way he writes (I'll figure it out later) But, you know...We do some pretty black joke stuff every now and then...I even told Mando on my last letter to him that if he didn't send me an autographed photo, I will cut my veins out!!! ( I love him, but I'm not gonna cut my veins out, ha, ha!!!) So, my sweet kids, cheer him up at that site and say hi to him, 'cause that's the first site he looks when he's at the internet. Love ya', your puertorican friend, Rose

Cool! I am sooo glad it was him! Since it didn't sound much like him I thought maybe it was someone pretending to be him as a joke! Glad it was him! It's nice to see him online! I was watching some CATM episodes on the VCR the other day & noticed he was the 2nd cutest person on there! He & Chico were the cutest! I am working on a tribute to MANDO on my CATM/Freddie site. You'll have to tell him about it.

Why not coax him to come over here where all the action is? He's have lots of fune & on the CHICO & THE MAN ROLE PLAY topic he could play himself! Mando is a real trip!
