One of the last threads I saw by Bob he was talking about having health problems, so that could have something to do with it.
I myself can't ever remember reading anything that Bob said that would make me think he would be the kind of guy that get's banned....Does that make sense?

Re: I Miss The Gnome.....

I think Bob and PGD got together and ran off.
They had that love/hate thing going.

Re: I Miss The Gnome.....

What happened to Brock? Did he change his name or just disappear?

Seems like a few really good contributors have "gone missing"

Agreed,I just remember a lot of train wrecks when they crossed paths.

Bob always had a innocent way of sliding into a thread and taking it off in some hilarious direction.

Re: I Miss The Gnome.....

I liked Bob. Seemed to have a weird/crazy/amazing history. Working in the antarctic and having a heartattack and being taken out to sea to get help on a hospital boat.. I think that is how it went.. Just seemed to be a real, and cool/unique character. Me and Cdat and him had some threads late at night that went PAGES.. not a bad guy at all.

It was almost like he was a German guy trying to be Swiss.
A thread would be getting heated and he would come in to try and calm things down...

A while back in a thread Bob in his usual joking manner was doing the usual joking and hinting at being bi-sexual. He posted a link to a fairly hardcore gay **** site or pic (one of the two) that in and of it self was grounds enough. There were a few others I can't think of off hand.

This isn't my site and I don't know if there were warnings or PMs. Hard to say.

As far as when he came back (Husqypro)I don't think he got banned I think either he got tired of the drama or as stated his health(cancer I believe he said) could have him down and out.

Personally he was my favorite poster on here. No matter what topic you were discussing BAM there was Bob with a suggestion or link. I don’t think he ever lashed out on a newb or member for no reason.

Fun, well rounded individual and all around nice guy. I would like to see more “Bobs” around.

Bob's a good guy. I sent him an email to see if he's still alive and kicking. His last posts were about having his pacemaker replaced.

He may be with some exchange students in Yellowstone, out of gas in a car, frozen stiff. Someone should contact the closest German consulate.
