Originally posted by divegeester to josephwIt is a bit strange how some self-proclaimed friends of Grampy Bobby here are seeking to portray him as weak, hypocritical, not candid with those close to him, and prone to interacting with people in a way that they now claim, retrospectively, was bad for his health, and to attribute to him a sense of victimhood we have no reason to believe he would have wanted to taint himself with. I would have thought that many of the things that have been suggested by his supporters about him erecting an insincere facade all these years rather than just being genuine will make him cringe when he reads them.
GB is a stalwart and major contributor of these forums and he enjoyed the fray. He doesn't need to you to turn him into a pussy in his dark hour.

So. 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.

Is this your stance?
You have no idea what you are talking about, just a lot of drivel, saying things I certainly never said. I told you he didn't admit to others he was being picked on, not to me. I'm done with you silly drivel. Talk to the hand now! From what I can see all you are here for is to stir the pot, you haven't played much chess in the last 10+ years you been here.
Kindest Regards,
Have a Great Day,

That's how you have portrayed the whole thing all by yourself. YOU SAID IT.
As usual. You obviously can't handle the simple truth, so you, in your immutable and weasely way, have redirected, misrepresented and obfuscated what was said to reflect whatever bizarre imaginary scenario that swirls around in your head.
And I know exactly what you'll say next. 😉

-Removed-Neither.
I never said or implied that GB thought he was bullied. In fact I'm certain he wouldn't frame it in that way. It is you and FMF that has planted the suggestion in this thread that what was said by myself and others implied that GB was both weak and thought he was bullied.
What I did say, and afirm, is that GB was bullied, and I meant it, but I never said or implied that he was weak or thought to himself that he was bullied. That idea came from FMF and you his solitary follower. 😉
And why do you suppose that is? Two reasons. One is that FMF is off his rocker and seems to have a predilection for misrepresenting the intent and meaning of any given post, and two because you can't see beyond what FMF says and you jump right in in agreement with his obfuscations.
Plain and simple.
