Grandpa Bobby over some alleged incident on a thread about the death of someone to
be retrospective trolling and morally repugnant. You can mention that if you like.
I was criticizing him for what he said on "about recomendations" just a few days ago. Ponderable said: "Mikelom's death is the course for a lot of postive posts and people are recommending those. A moving moment in the more cynical world of forums!" And Grampy Bobby replied: "Unfortunately, yes." Grampy Bobby was being criticized for that. Hypocrisy was what he was accused of. And this hypocrisy happened on 13th September this year. Just a week ago, in fact. How is it "morally repugnant"?


robbie, is criticism always "morally repugnant" if you disagree with it?

It is what it is FMF, if i have personal concerns I'll deal with them internally, thanks though
for the offer to discuss them publicly, it was very kind.
So are you suggesting that you are opposed to "discussion about personalities" or not?

because you were using some instance to simply make the most vile of accusations and to put the boot in. There is nothing in Grandpa Bobbys words that warranted your vile attack FMF that is why i find it morally repugnant.

Presumably you are not aware of the mileage Grampy Bobby tried to get out of Mike's death in some smack down posts aimed at another poster. Ponderable said: "Mikelom's death is the course for a lot of postive posts and people are recommending those. A moving moment in the more cynical world of forums!" Grampy Bobby, who was the ONLY RHP poster I can remember who made some cynical posts at the time news of Mike's death reached us, should probably have kept quiet if he didn't want to be told that some people found him to be hypocritical.

i doubt they can be any more odious than your willingness to use whatever he is alleged to have said to put the boot in.

But surely you aren't now claiming to be opposed to "putting the boot in"?

Yes i find it morally repugnant too, we should leave people with a way out not 'left in the lurch', as they say.

Grampy Bobby did have a way out: he could have apologized for his hypocrisy,

Have your own efforts at what you might call "putting the boot in" ever been "morally repugnant"?

and that justifies you putting the boot in FMF? If my own efforts have been morally repugnant then ill deal with it internally and again i thank you for the opportunity to discuss it publicly, its very kind.

His hypocrisy was related to the death of a friend. So I criticized him. You should feel no obligation to criticize him too. And you are welcome to disapprove of my decision to do so.

So you are keen to discuss what you declare to be "morally repugnant" in others' behavior but unwilling to discuss what may or may not be "morally repugnant" in your own behavior. There's a word for that, you know, robbie.

Of course people change, if someone brings something up from the which the person has changed their mind on, all that have to do is say - 'Actually I've changed my mind on that, and here are the reasons why'. It's not hard.

Here's some unsolicited advice for you, if you are concerned about retrotrolling I would advise you to follow these steps on this websites forum.

1. Stop lying.
2. Stop making things up.
3. Develop the ability to apologise and admit your mistakes.
4. Refrain from goading, ridiculing, taunting and calling people names.
