Originally posted by FMFGB's explanation is not under question, what we are actually interested in is why Randolf aka Handy Andy posted a reference to the poem from a different website where the author was deemed to be someone else (now known to have been GB) for it gave the impression that Bobby had plagiarized the poem, now known to be false. Now if you can tell us why he did that, then be my guest.
The poem was "published" under three 'names', as it were. It was posted by "Grampy Bobby" as "Anon" here at RHP which was presumably an effort to make it seem like it was written by someone else and not by Grampy Bobby. It was also posted under a name [which I will not mention] that "Grampy Bobby" has used on another website. And then most recently it was posted ...[text shortened]... e name "Grampy Bobby". I think most people will surely have accepted Grampy Bobby's explanation.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieIf he and GB worked it out in private messages and GB is satisfied with that, then good for them. It doesn't mean Rudeolf wasn't looking to dig up dirt on Bobby, it just means Bobby is a forgive and forget sort of person who is willing to let bygones be bygones... and when this all blows over I don't doubt that Mr Hand will back up to his old tricks again, because that's the sort of person he is.
and we are still no closer to finding out what Randolfs motivations were. I like probably most others assumed that it was to level a charge of plagiarism against Bobs, what else could it be?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI think it was the "person" on that other web site who seemed to have plagiarized the poem as it was "published" here at RHP by Grampy Bobby before it was published there under that different name.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieHandyAndy already gave a full explanation on the "few months sabbatical rest..." thread. You posted on that thread several times so you read it too, presumably. He also explained again on the "Friendly RHP Neighbors" thread. So you saw it there again. One wonders why you are behaving as if you didn't. 🙂
It still FAILS to explain what Randolf was doing with it.
