It's been over a month since his goodbye post and the 30 page fiasco that followed. The joint hasn't been the same since.

We may have to start a candlelight vigil.

Bot please come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Bot please come back, you can blame it all on we
Mod was wrong, and we just can't live without you

I was watching Young Frankenstein tonight and thought of him.

He's approaching 15K posts at BWOT and seems happy. I think he needs a hook to draw him back to posting here. What would it be like if Bot was a moderator?

He's posting every day over at Benz World. Funny how that works out, I am supposedly to blame for his demise, yet the first place he shows up is another forum I post on regularly.

heh heh heh

I don't believe that the moderator was responsible in any way for the Bot leaving. Whatever his reasons, he will return when he is ready, not before. I don't know the guy from Adam, but I certainly think he will not be swayed in his convictions.

LUVMB - try sending him a pm with your question and your email, might just work.

"The thing is Bob, its not that I'm lazy...its that I just don't care."

The whole thing was ill conceived. Bot's comment was pointless flinging of dung, the complaint about feeling threatened from the intendee of said dung was pointless (what we have here is the safest distance between debaters yet known to man), and I'm not sure an infraction was needed either, but like BC said, it's a challenge to keep things civil w/o being to heavy handed, so I see that part as neutral.

Guy definitely adds color here, or added anyway. For my part, no one has responded with "Vietnam." to one of my posts in a while.

Whew (deep breath of relaxation). I needed that.

Now, let me say this about that (deep inhale) . . .

I was just wondering where Bot went... missed the "farewell" thread, I guess. Dang... he was probably my favorite OT poster. Bot -- PLEASE COME BACK!

Just read through the "goodbye" thread -- sheesh, that was lame. There's some awfully thin skin around here... I can see how he'd want to walk away from whiners like that. Still, I hope he comes back.
