Add one more item to the litany: when, after instigating an acrimonious clan-year, it finally came to a vote on whether to reform the clan system, and the captains voted not to by a very significant margin, Robbie refused to accept the result and continued whingeing "sour grapes" about it. Casting aspersions against Russ was his last act here. There was nothing amusing about that chapter of RHP; let it be history and done with.

Interesting.
I cannot forget nor forgive the dreadful post he made about Grampy Bobby’s dear but deceased wife, which was without doubt the worse thing I’ve seen posted in these forums in tens years I’ve been here and possibly the worse thing I’ve ever seen written on the internet. It was much worse than his post mocking those who died on Westminster Bridge in the terror attack two years ago, and for which he was long-term banned.
I liked Bobby, he was a gentle soul. We used to correspond by email, apart from RHP, until he fell silent. Rest in peace, Bobby.

I on the other hand did not get along with Grampy Bobby, but I would have gladly flushed setise into the sewer for what he said on those occasions. I guess we each have our perpesctives and principles.

Well, that's just it. I didn't think he was funny. So, for me, when it came to robbie carrobie - on the Spirituality Forum - with him NOT being funny - what did that leave?
He believed husbands could rape their wives because his religion told him that there was no such thing as marital rape. He supported his religious organisation covering up the sexual ab ...[text shortened]... nd typing out bizarrely repetitive "insults" day after day after day. Not missed. Good riddance.
So can't comment on his posts there.
Originally posted by @divegeesterSeitse was, compared to Robbie, marginally less objectionable.

Originally posted by @divegeesterI believe so. The last PMs and emails I sent to him went unanswered, which was not like him at all.
Has he passed away?

... unless he stopped using a computer.
When a member dies, sometimes a relative logs on to his account and leaves a message at the forums (as was the case with mikelom). That depends, of course, on some family member knowing about RHP and being able to log on. So far as I know, that hasn't happened in Bobby's case, there has just been silence (for about a year and a half now). He was formerly very prompt about answering PMs and emails.

If you could “resurrect”, I.e. bring back to the forum as an active contributor, one precious active member of this (any forum) community; who would it be, and why?

Originally posted by @divegeesterSeitse simply ran out of ceiling height. When your main objective is to post something more outrageous and shocking than your last post you get to a point of unsustainability.
I think FMF summed up robbie carrobie quite well on the previous page. Perhaps you didn’t see some of the nastier stuff Seitse posted as it got removed.
He has attempted a few comebacks, but not fared very well.
