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.
Kind Regards,

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."

All that said, i'm a little offended I wasn't invited.

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!
Kindest Regards,
Always a Pleasure,

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.
