[quote name=\'kenbob_clarker\' post=\'189487\' date=\'Jul 2 2008, 01:06 PM\']but it is totally beyond me why bandit_bobby is so hated around here. [/quote] Give it time. I'm happy to explain. For me, bandit_bobby embodies everything that I don't like about the internet. Mr. Foster-Gray nailed it; his posts are laced with a condescension that isn't appropriate. Back when he first started here, he would "recap" Jeopardy! episodes. That is to say, there would be errors all over the place, important details missing, and so on. I don't know whether that was the haste to be first, or just laziness/non-caring on his part. But it kept up, and there was never any contrition on his part. One time he said "I'll try to be better," and he wasn't. Thankfully he took that part to his silly "game show results" blog, which he'd try to advertise here by saying "If you want to know what happened on tonight's episode of Wheel of Fortune, click on [my blog]." (Of course, when he made a goof on THAT site, he was all too ready to apologize to his eight adoring fans.)
Every time he makes a post, he gets at least 3 totally hateful and uncalled for comments thrown his way. He may not always have the wittiest thing to say, but all he seems to want to do is add a little to a discussion.
1) The comments are called for, as long as they stay within the realm of the ERs we all signed on.
2) He wants to have this place as his own personal sandbox. He'll jump in with a nonsensical statement, and then run away, leaving us to clean up after him. I don't recall a single time that he followed up one of his comments by actually defending it. It was always "I think
Family Feud should offer $100,000 in Fast Money." A reason was never given. When asked directly, no reply was forthcoming.
That's it. I don't like his behavior, and the fact that he has made no effort to change in the years he's been here.
