Imagine for a moment that your name is Rob Rexrode. You have a nice place in North Raleigh, and everyone you know erupts into cheers and shouts “Hey! It’s Rob Rexrode!” when you walk into a room. Yep, life is good for ol’ Rob Rexrode. Then one day, while Google-ing yourself like people do, you find that someone shares a name with you. You find that because Google’s number 1 Rob Rexrode is somehow not you, but someone who posts on the section of Yahoo! where the “swingers” post ads to find other swingers in the area.
Since you’re Rob Rexrode, you know that all of your friends are big into checking out the swingers’ section of Yahoo! to make sure no one they associate themselves with is into any unwholesome activity (you know, things that can’t be classified as lawn care or patriotism). You must clear your name. So you, Rob Rexrode, man up and post not one, but two Craigslist notes to assure those friends that it’s a totally different guy, honestly. The result? Once again, everyone can love Rob Rexrode.
Or you could simply be Rob Rexrode: Swinger. Determined to live a double life as both a proud PTA president and a swinger who likes to get crazy while the kids are at a sleepover. So you fake your outrage and even go so far as to post on Craigslist to refute your Yahoo! identity. No one will be the wiser.
Whoever the real Rob Rexrode is, be there one, two, or even twenty in the Triangle; we can safely say that he has an awesome name.

I was tipped off by a concerned parent about a Rob Rexrode being a swinger.
It can all be related to the Rob Rexrode that works for Brooks Building Products. [Super creepy and uncorroborated identifying details edited out by this website] It looks like that is the Rob Rexrode you should be concerned about.
If you do have concerns about this person, do the research yourself.

Methinks Rob Rexrode doth protest too much.

Um, why exactly should parents be concerned about someone being a swinger? Don’t they have an Adam & Eve protest to go to or something?

Looks like someone is trying to set this guy up!
I was framed by an ex-girlfriend in the same manner. Don’t trust what you read on the internet regarding anyone if it is posted anonymously. Anyone who knows the guy could have written this. Sounds like this Northridge Elementary person is the culprit.

Tipped off by a concerned parent??????
That’s funny. How many parents out there are concerned about swingers these days?
I could see it if the guy had been accused of slashing tires and convicted or something crazy like that. Then maybe I would be concerned enough to let everyone know what kind of danger they could be in, maybe call their job (if they worked for the state), alert the parents at the schools so that they know to keep their kids away, etc.
But swinging? I don’t see it.
Sounds like some sort of grudge thing.

Ok, I can’t believe I’m closing comments on a post for the very first time over a freaking joke about a guy with a funny name all freaked out over another guy with the same funny name being a “swinger,” but here we are.
Folks, the interesting thing was that this guy has a hilarious name. And it’s also a name that you sorta believed belonged to a happenin’ guy, who seeks out social encounters on his own terms.
Clearly, one of the Robs disagrees, and has communicated with us via email and obviously is posting at least one comment here to clear the good Rexrode name. That’s cool, but consider the record duly amended, and consider that you started it by freaking out on Craigslist, on the Internet, which never ends well. So, no sympathy. Chill out.
That’s that. Nothing to see here.
