Sir,
You stop denying you had nothing to do with the day to day picking, even if you did it in a playful manner. Others did not do it in such a playful manner as you. They were down right mean, rude, ignorant. call it as you will. If I were in your shoes I'd be feeling a little guilt, just because I was involved. Of course that kept you in with the" ...[text shortened]... g to get out and enjoy some of our great weather while it lasts.

The BBQ in 2009 was a meet-up for RHP members living in or visiting New England. You were invited, as I recall, but declined to attend.
Are you still stewing about the BBQ after seven years?? It was not, by any definition, a gathering of the "in crowd."

He is out of the hospital, but is in a facility for rehabilitation.
Please continue to pass on all of our very best wishes for a full and speedy recovery, and if you feel it appropriate, let him know that he is still here, creating controversy.

It comes down to the point of WHOM were the pretentious blowhards. The 5 or 6 picking at GB on a daily baises, or GB??? I at that time was one of his biggest defenders, as you are well aware of.
I'd say it was the 5-6 sometimes more constantly picking at him on a daily basis. All GB ever did was defend himself against the "IN CROWD" or "INNER CIRCLE" as I called "you all" at the time.
How many of GB'S defenders were at the BBQ? Let me answer for you NONE!!!
One thing I did learn from GB was no matter how nasty people get, you don't have to lower yourself to their standards. I believe he stood head and shoulders above you all in that department, including myself!

Always a Pleasure,

Originally posted by HandyAndySo who does this slander? If you're guilty of what people say, how can you turn around and call it slander?
Originally posted by josephwApparently fell ill and is in the hospital last I heard. Bob had been suffering from medical issues for a number of years. How he held up under the barrage of verbal abuse he was subjected to in these forums for as long as he did is a mystery to me. Someone, or ones, even had the underhanded gall to flood his email with porn. Whoever did it is a lowlife scumbag.
