He's like the PRF's eccentric uncle. Sure, he spouts off from time to time but he stands by the strength of his convictions and has spurred some interesting debate.
Just saying s'all.

The strength of his convictions is mental illness, and rarely does he spark what I would call interesting debate, as he will never ever admit he was wrong and since that never happens is it really a debate? Aren't you call kind of feeding his paranoia problem?

Also If he can derail a thread can't I? I mean I haven't called anyone a name or been a complete ass hat about it... so no we can't lay off of him here... Its really not ok to defend his character or tactics, its ok to defend his right to say what he wants, its ok to agree with him, but any sane person can see he has a real mental problem.

That would put him in a club of say, one hundred million people worldwide.

That dosent make it right, at all there are a 100 million people doing fucked up horrible things every day, that dosent make it right does it?

I was referring to you casting aspersions regarding his personal life, of which we know practically nothing.

The sole point being that just because he's a bit loopy online, it doesn't mean jack shit in terms of the real world.

yes actually it does, I find this to be a horrible charcter trait, I know many of the people who post here, I have known many of them for many years before I posted here, I have known Faiz, Hench, Lemur, Mandroid, Ect for well over 5 years, I have met many other people on this board, I have let them sleep on my couch I have have grilled them the finest bratwursts I can afford, and all of these people are exactly how they are in really life, and to come on here and be a fake asshole to these people is a real sign that you are fucked up, and I would not ever trust you or anything you have to say, I would say in my eyes this would be a much worse crime than just think the sky is falling and you are allways right...

I can deal with mental illness, one of my best freinds in my 20s was a 1/2 homeless mentally paraniod person, but that is just who he was, but at least he wasn't an asshole on the interet and a "nice guy" in real life...

If you are an asshole in real life I can deal with that, hell anyone who has see my band has seen the glint of a asshole in my eye, but then don't be mr fucking nice guy in real life...



Edit: sorry if that came on a bit harsh, Tommy if you were to come to Milwaukee you would be more than welcome to get drunk at my house and eat grilled meats in my kitchen, Clocker not so much...

So people can do whatever the hell they want online and not be held accountable whatsoever? Because the internet isn't "real"? This is all a fantasyland here?

This thread already exists, though I don't feel like searching for it, but I think 99% of us are exactly like they are in real life on this board.

I know I am. An interloper with atrocious spelling, who primarily cares about music and sports.

Nonetheless, I wouldn't care to have my posts used as analysis of my mental state, and I think It's unfair to do this to CBob. Skip his posts/topics/rants. I often do. As has been said, he does often bring something interesting to the plate.

Sweet Daddy was just a drag.

Damn it. I go to the bar after work and now I have to read eighty or so pages of funny stuff? This PRF thing is a work out.

It's as if The Internet had some unfortunate reboot today.

Whatever, Grohl.

I don't know if he has a mental problem as I'm not a licenced psychiatrist.

With all due respect, you claim in your sig to be ignoring him yet here you are trying to assemble a lynch mob. If I found derailing topics to be as distasteful as you do I would take the high road by NOT derailing a topic as opposed to doing so and saying, "Well, he does it!"
