1. Wonder why now?

He hasn't posted since May 31. He was on Discussionist bragging about leaving DU and becoming a republican. (Sorry, I don't have a link at this time.)

[cyberswede]

3. He was on time out since May 31...

maybe Admins just got around to cleaning house.

[femmocrat]

4. Thanks. That makes sense.

[CreekDog]

18. 23 minutes after backwoodsbob's timeout started on DU, he posted this on DI:

http://discussionist.com/1016105221

Oh, and Virginia doesn't register by party.

[Art_from_Ark]

44. I thought he was from South Carolina?

[CreekDog]

45. At that point he'd been living in Virginia for several years

to be near family. Said he was moving back to South Carolina.

Originally from Michigan.

[dixiegrrrrl]

2. Yikes. n/t

[Paladin]

5. I think it was time for backwoodsbob to move on. (nt)

41. +1

[Xyzse]

6. He seemed nice enough in the Lounge, talking about his pet dogs.

Well, I didn't really see him in GD much, and couldn't really agree with him in many issues.

However, since I thought he was dealing with a loss and so forth, I didn't really pay him much mind.

Still, not a surprise.

[MADem]

16. He stunk up the place when he was breeding a tiny purebred epileptic dog

with a much larger one, and then selling the genetically compromised offspring. Ugly situation.

[CrawlingChaos]

27. Those threads really upset me

I hoped against hope he was just doing it to get a rise out of people, because I couldn't stand the thought of a helpless little dog at his mercy. He did seem to relish causing an uproar.

Well that's what I want to believe anyway.

[Xyzse]

36. I must have completely missed that.

Hrm... Guess the only times I actually paid attention to his posts were when he lost a dog or something.

[MADem]

40. It was an appalling, and obvious, troll-y thread.

I read it and asked myself "Who believes this ass is for real? Is this bad performance art?" and backed off. One of those "not worth engaging" type of situations.

A few people were ired about his lack of ethics, but he sailed through, unconcerned.

[skepticscott]

43. Oh, the irony

[Arugula Latte]

17. He bragged about shooting a dog,

which did not go over well here.

[Scuba]

31. He also bragged about having a better home than his ex, and sleeping with both her and another.

I won't miss him.

[avebury]

21. If you followed his posts on his dogs you

would realize that he is not what I would call a responsible pet owner. He pissed off a lot of animal lovers.

Glad to hear he is gone.

[Xyzse]

35. I didn't follow them.

All I saw were the ones where he lost a dog or something, or got a new one.

In regards to his treatment of his dogs, I may have missed that since he did not reach a level for me to look in to his posts much, or pay attention to him really.

[Warren Stupidity]

7. Years after obvious troll became obvious.

[Hissyspit]

19. Seriously.

[antiquie]

8. Watching my karma.

[In_The_Wind]

9. Thanks for a great mid-week smile!!!

[fizzgig]

29. that never gets old

[hobbit709]

10. some get banned after one time out, others don't.

[cyberswede]

12. I'm sure the Admins review their posts to reach a decision...

Not just the hidden posts, but their post history.

[LanternWaste]

14. Some understand nuance. Some don't.

Some understand nuance. Some don't.

[NV Whino]

11. 'Bout time

All he did was stir the shit. I'm sure he's much happier at Discussionist.

[pscot]

20. I doubt it

[Major Nikon]

37. Doesn't seem to be much happiness at all in that place

[pscot]

38. Very little

Conservatives often (but not always) come across as angry, fearful and clueless. OTOH, it's fun to be able to mix it up without having to pull any punches.

[Starry Messenger]

13. Now he can be with his buds over at DI

[avebury]

22. I peak in on DI from time to time

and he is just as bad over there. I blocked him so that I wouldn't see his crap.

[Le Taz Hot]

15. Not surprised at all.

I'm surprised it took so long.

[LiberalElite]

23. .

[Kali]

24. !!!

NOT

[cyberswede]

25. !

[Baitball Blogger]

42. LOL!

[CreekDog]

46. .

[riderinthestorm]

26. Good!!!

[mackerel]

28. I never cared about him either way. His posts were just meh.

[Orrex]

32. Can't help wondering if we'll soon see another ban

Some posts are hidden for a reason.

[magical thyme]

33. good riddance

I guess now I can take him off ignore. Naaah...why bother.

[HappyMe]

34. Good.

He was kind of creepy.

[mentalsolstice]

39. Was dreading his return! eom

[olddots]

47. online comedy takes more talent than dumbth .

[JonLP24]

48. I was aware of the shooting the dog controversy

but wow was not aware of all this. I can't count how many times he challenged DUers to a fist fight which cracked me up. Want my address PM yours and I'll PM mine. Want a fistfight or something?

[pinboy3niner]

49. He was a macho, macho man, and he wooed his women

But he had to serve them breakfast in bed or give them a new car to get laid. And when he did get laid, he had to post about it, every time, crudely. What a prince!

[progressoid]

50. Aw I'm going to miss his posts.

Oh, wait. I guess I can't miss what I never read.

[AwakeAtLast]

54. You and me both

I guess I'm a little behind on the news....

[Little Star]

51. Well, well, well.......

Backwardsbob as I always called him due to his posts finally bit the dust.

[Skittles]

52. LOL - backwardsbob is just NOW getting banned?

the guy was a complete rightwing asshole - the confederate flag / gay marriage issues surely drove him over the edge

[CreekDog]

53. and his creepy posts about his wife and his neighbors?

bleh. as if the other stuff wasn't bad enough already.

[olddots]

55. he needed help.

HOOOORAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[trueblue2007]

56. STRANGE GUY with lots of issues.
