I have contacted Rob Ford in my capacity as a citizen and his capacity as mayor, and not only did he not address the issues I raised, he did the exact opposite. When, for example, I urged him to save a planned program that was at risk - even presenting my position in his preferred idiom of tax dollars, quantifying the cost to myself monetarily and demonstrating how the cost to me is more than I pay the city in taxes - he cancelled the program in question at literally the first available opportunity.
I am not under the impression that Rob Ford is out to get me. I know full well that a simple person like me can't possibly be of interest to someone with wealth and influence and a complex life like Rob Ford. However, if Rob Ford did receive my message and said "I want to hurt this lady. How can I use the information provided here to hurt her as much as possible?", the outcome would have been exactly what it actually was in reality.
They need to invent a word for this concept - when you genuinely don't think it's a conspiracy, but if it were a conspiracy the outcome would be exactly the same as it was in real life.

paranoia
It's more like the opposite of paranoia. But I can't think of a word either. Definitely needs an invention.
Update: @erussellart on Twitter proposes "serenduplicities".
