Sounds like an attention horse.
Some dude joined (no idea why), Grampy Bobby said hello and was instantly damned for it, I jumped in with a few scolding comments to Starrman, then it all kicked off and Great Big Stees drinks wee wee.
That's about the long and short of it.
Oh and there was a webcam of birds eating other birds somewhere.
Edit: Forgot the smug face.

Originally posted by avalanchethecatHealthy disagreement, yes.
I don't generally find much in Freaky's arguments to side with, but I'm with him on this - aren't the forums just so much more vibrant and entertaining when there's a bit of healthy disagreement on the menu?
Repetitive, dull and passive-aggressive trolling, no.
I was disappointed to return to the forum and see him back. It was a good couple weeks. I choose to completely ignore GB when he posts and when he PM's me. Most of the time, I don't read his posts and I suggest that for others.

I don't want to make another post listing all the old (and some new) information about the deplorable things that Grampy Bobby has done and is doing on this site because I'll probably end up on the top of the recommended posts list again. So I'll just write this:
The first and last thing that all newcomers should know about Grampy Bobby:
DO NOT give GB any personal information about yourself, including your name, where you live, your pets' names, your hobbies, or anything like that, or very importantly, your email address.
Good luck.

In days gone by I did a bit of voluntary work (not exactly voluntary but that is a different story) and it involved teaching internet use to retired people.
People from gb's generation don't see the internet the same as people who grew up with it, they are not aware of the hidden dangers and are completely unaware that what they share is not just viewed by the intended audience.
People would enter personal information on websites where no security is in place [https:] because they think it is just their computer talking to another computer. Also, they start out with the false notion that people (other internet users) do not read what is not meant for them (if only).
This is not an excuse for all of gb's antics, but I feel he may be getting shot for things he may be unaware of.
Edit: Removed annoying smiley face.
