When trying to make friends do you always call people 'blockheads' and belittle them when they don't share you views?

Why not give him a chance and accept his ways are a bit different than what we normally see and tolerated him as we have done with the 'slipper' fetish, the twix loving 'gender bender' and myself who likes to write a little bit more than most?

Tolerated? Are we allowed to write about slipper fetishes, gender benders and the very popular with some "bumchums"?

All seems a bit racy and/or homophobic when bans are handed out for writing about the perfectly politically correct idea that a man can have a boyfriend - a concept accepted by everyone who is not homophobic.

You need to ban yourself Sluffy

It's certainly flawed if you deliberately take it with the interpretation you have chosen to put on it but I think it stacks up quite astutely in the way he's intended it (and fwiw which I think you got in the first place but chose to ignore).

As for being clever or not is just someone's opinion of you, my mother God rest her was the smartest person I've known and she hadn't a single qualification to her name and worked in the mills like all her generation in Bolton did.

As for speaking up for Bob, yes I do because I think there are ways to post on social media and ways not to and you can only get in tune with them by practice over a long time.

I don't think Bob has honed his skills sufficiently so far, that's all.

He certainly doesn't suffer fools gladly that's for sure, but he also posts in a form of lighted hearted mocking style from years gone by that doesn't seemed to lend itself to modern day social media use whose readers seem to become instantly offended by it.

All I try to do is act as a bridge between the two sides to try my best to explain things and deescalate them.

Maybe if people could understand his way of doing things a bit better - (don't forget he may well be the oldest poster on our site and have a way about him that is foreign to people much younger than he) - and him the chance to learn a bit more on how younger generations responds to not necessarily WHAT he says but more by HOW he says them and the (unintentional?) reaction it causes - then maybe you won't need me much longer trying to keep the peace between you all.

That's why I do it anyway.

Go on, you know this is the ideal place for him to call 'home' with the rest of us!

Everyone’s free to post whatever they want on here, I don’t care. But if you call people idiots don’t be surprised if they bite back a bit, I don’t think you need to be under 70 to understand that.

Maybe if he had said something like ' I don't think you are understanding my point here', or 'no, it's not what you think' he would have got little if any reaction back but by simple saying 'don't be a blockhead' he seems to have upset half the forum instead!

Who's upset? I'm just telling you if he calls people idiots he can't expect not to have some back.

I'd like to hear Bob's views on other stuff. Brexit, politics in general, slippers, books , TV, radio, food, drink, and uncle Tom Cobley and all.
He's under no obligation to tell us anything of course, but there's more to Bob than meets the eye.
