Memo

Like i said, i moved on.

When you say, "Later, when I reminded him,," It only goes to highlight that you, FMF, hadn't. This of course is your own decision. I prefer to take an apology when it comes and then draw a line through the issue.

To recab:

1. I challenged comments.
2. Apology received.
3. Apology accepted.
4. Moved on.
5. Didn't bring up at a later date.

You are, it would seem, content to portray yourself as gullible and to portray "moving on" after a weasely supposed apology as commendable in some way. The "Facts hurt. Truth stings" retort was Grampy Bobby cocking the snook at everyone, including you.

Your incongruent, inappropriate and transparent attempt to reset your brand as the "dear old gentleman of the forum" wrapped up as this nauseating appeal to the "ladies of rhp" to come to your rescue, sums you up.

You can fool some here all the time, but me none of the time. I see you.

I recall, a few months ago Dive, you posted a really nice message in support of GB. (In response to him receiving quite harsh personal comments). You called him the backbone of the forums, or words to that affect. (Apologies for not using your exact words). I'm just a little confused how this computes with your most recent comments, "You can fool some here all the time, but me none of the time. I see you."

i will not assume to post for divegeester, only something that i know, that you haven't yet seen...
bostobobollo, in one word, is duplicitous...
you might want proof of this statement, i'll not provide it here...
i know that asking for trust on a subject discussed via the internet is a radical idea, but,
trust me, this guy is not who he portrays himself to be...

I've never ever called GB the backbone of the forums. I have however defended his right to post whatever he likes, unless it is offensive. I have also referred to him as an "engine" or "catalyst" for discussion, a "big cog" and as his threads being key contributors to the high metabolism of the forum. The forum on the whole would be a worse place without his posting in my opinion.

However, he craves attention and pushes the boundaries in order to get it; it's like a drug to him. With that energy and pitch comes risk and feedback. He's been here since 2007 getting the same feedback year after after year from posters like me, many whom are long gone now: @phlabibit, @crowley, @starrman, @darvlay, @hand-of-Hecate to name a few. If he ever "really" did leave I would be disappointed; he's a nemesis of sorts. But I'll grind his gears as he deserves nevertheless.

Kinda like a cold beer, or two, after a round of golf.

you guys really think that I am in real life the persons I portray to be
on this forum for the sake of my own amusement --and that of a
select few who appreciate the Kauffman school?

I am sorry to disappoint you but I had to break character to, once
again, mop the floor with the hypocrisy, ...[text shortened]... ll soon return to my usual routine but,
remember, this is the internet. We're here for the lulz 🙂

So why in the world not choose to be yourself here as you are in your home and community?
Besides, "the internet" is in fact reality otherwise we wouldn't invest our time and effort here.in this online public forum.
Life's much too short to do otherwise.

Do you think this vicious attack on another's character makes your arguments appear anymore valid because i can assure you, you are coming across as a spiteful, malicious and quite frankly a rather unsavory proposition. Now I know you'll probably cry 'you're a disgusting cultist', 'you have disgusting values' etc etc, but i don't think i have displayed as much bitterness and hatred as you are doing here and if I did I would seriously think about taking time out to redress some kind of balance, its a wonder you haven't given yourself an ulcer with all the negativity that you are projecting.

Golf? you play golf, dude? after a round or two on the cross trainer and the tread mill followed by steam room and sauna, but golf, say it ain't so! Which ever country invented golf needs their bums felt. Saying that I am supping a Caledonian Porter that i made myself, its delicious, it has amber malt, wheat malt, acid malt, chocolate malt, marris otter pale malt and crystal malt and some Belgian Candi sugar in it, nom nom nom ! ABV 5.6 % 😀

I only recall the apology.

Then, i moved on.

I also recall the apology. People apologize in their own way and not one of us can measure a poster's sincerity (or lack thereof) nor can we measure the motives behind a apology. GB could have apologized in many different ways, using various word choices, etc. Wouldn't have mattered. Outcome would be the same. If GB bothers certain individuals, (and clearly he does) any apology issued by him would never suffice.

Some posters never think to apologize for anything they post. When perhaps they ought to. Just a thought.

I vote "move on."

Man that Porter sounds like a real mishmash of malts but only 5.6% ABV. Here that's a lager and lime. FORE!
