I doubt that he hopes that the Moderators will go back and remove posts from over the years.
I think VR is referring to all the vicious, cruel and hateful comments leveled against GB over the years.
Originally posted by Andrew KernI think FMF is trying to minimize the level of criticism GB recieved as merely "par for the course", but in terms of frequency, volume and severity I'd say GB was bullied to the full.
I agree.
Part of the fact of what makes the criticisms of GB so egregious was GB's refusal to engage defensively. He rose above it all, and that fueled their fire.
Originally posted by josephwPeople get criticized and disagreed with according to what they say and how they behave. Like I said, I get criticized and disagreed with - sometimes constantly - and probably just as much as Grampy Bobby does, and yet I don't think I am "bullied to the full".

Originally posted by FMFWell, you and I know, as I'm sure VR does, that no such thing will happen. I don't think it should. What has been said has been said. There's no taking it back. The only thing that can redeem the damage is sincere apologies. We both know that'll never happen either.

Originally posted by FMFSo you're denying Bobby was excessively bullied more than any other poster?

Originally posted by josephwWhen you said "[by "comments"] I think VR is referring to all the vicious, cruel and hateful comments leveled against GB over the years", I think you were mistaken.
