Originally posted by josephwI am not projecting anything onto it. I am drawing attention to the fact that you posted it on page 1 of this thread which is about an elderly man's ill health. People can make of it - and you - what they will.
Are you intellectually constipated or what? Why do you insist on projecting an interpretation of my post as an effort on my part to gain points or settle scores?
Originally posted by josephwFour bedrooms with mirrors on cupboard doors. One on the landing. One in the bathroom. Do you have more mirrors than that or less?
How much time do you spend admiring yourself in a mirror? I mean, with six mirrors in your house I bet you can't take ten steps without seeing your reflection. No doubt you think you're the most admirable person you know.
Originally posted by josephwWith regard to Grampy Bobby's poor health you asked how he had held up as long as he had with people disagreeing with him and criticizing him for some of his behaviour.
And how you can expect me to believe what you think about why I posted what I did is pure stupidity on your part.
If you weren't trying to draw some link between his health and the reaction he gets from some people on these threads, then what on earth were you saying?
And if your disapproval of Grampy Bobby's critics somehow wasn't connected in any way to his health, why were you posting about your disapproval of people on page 1 of a thread about his health?

It would not be unrealistic that all the people harrassing him, may have had something to do with his health issues. Now of course I have no evidence to this. A doctor couldn't even give you postitive proof, but the possiblility is there, the harrassing may have been a contributing factor.

Originally posted by Very RustyAs I understand it from people who speak to Grampy Bobby regularly on the phone, he absolutely loves the attention his very calculated behaviour attracts. Your doctor would need to factor that into his diagnosis. Grampy Bobby has been getting his laughs here on this web site in a very particular - and deliberate - way for many years. The likes of you, josephw and Suzianne scuttling around, spitting indignant chips, and trying to be as ever-so-mean as you can, unilaterally, but as if on his behalf, would, I think, be the sort of thing that would tickle his fancy.

I was friends with GB before any of these people were talking to him on Phone. He told them he enjoyed it, because he did not want to play the victim. He did not want people to feel sorry for him. So he claimed to enjoy the exchange. This was not the case for many years & when I was one of his few defenders.
If things changed after that, it is news to me, and I would have to hear that directly from GB for me to believe it. I know he would be truthful with me. I've helped GB in more ways than you or the ones who have spoken to him on the phone claim to have knowledge of.
Don't talk more drivel, when you are getting 3rd had information that could very well be misleading. Like I said GB may have changed his mind over the years. I only know what he thought in the early years when I was one of his few defenders.

Have a wonderful day,

Originally posted by Very RustySo you're only claiming to know "what he thought in the early years" which was a time when you realized - as you told us earlier on this thread - that he didn't need you to defend him because he enjoyed it and "gave better than he got"?

"You would never here him say he was being bullied. He was not that type of man. He took it and dished out (in my opinion) as good or better than he got. I do believe he was bullied and he knew it, we had many conversations in the early years when I was helping defend him. GBS was close with him also I believe! I learned quite quickly he was much more articulate also more subtle than I was, and really didn't need my help. He really didn't want anyone defending him.
This is a description of a somewhat mischievous poster enjoying himself, is it not?

It is not ( at least in my opinion) It is someone who did not want to admit being a victim. Also some who could give as good or better than he got, not someone I would say ENJOYED IT, as you put it! I am not going to play with you about this, as it is not a joking matter.
THE END!!

Originally posted by Very RustySo. You had many conversations. You claim to have been close. And yet he never once said to you that he was upset by any of the criticism he got. And now here you are, 4-5 years later, trying to portray him as a man who wasn't open and honest with you about the bullying issue, a man whose health was being damaged [that is your most recent claim right?] by the reactions he was deliberately courting, reactions which he claimed - you would say falsely, I presume - to have enjoyed when speaking to other friends he had. Is this your stance?
