On the other hand, think about how angry he manages to make a forum full of people who dedicate their lolcow hobby to being chill about what assholes they are. There is something about Bob that uniquely sets people's teeth on edge, and I can easily see that translating into some kind of bullying...

My delight upon seeing the trailer for The Many Saints of Newark is actually pretty damn good was almost immediately doused by the realization that in a few months I'm going to have to suffer through Bob's take on The Sopranos.
Threatening suicide is a form of extortion. Null absolutely did the right thing.
Fuck everyone playing Pin the Blame on the Donkey. If you knew him and you didn't help, you have a ton more responsibility than randos on a forum you hate.
