Bob tempban

Let me remind you: he said he wanted ‘full and unsurpassing praise’. Can’t find the original post, but that sort of phrase tends to stick in the memory.

EDIT: I managed to find the post. Turns out Bob actually said: ‘I would recommend tempering any criticism with abundant and probably surpassing praise’.

As a lurker who looked at a few of his posts before giving up because it felt like a car crash unfolding, I believe that was the moment I went from "this guy is a bit quirky and likes to ramble a bit about himself" to "there's something seriously wrong about the way this guy is acting"

As someone who didn't pay that close attention to Bob's posts, I only crossed that line when I learned, from the early posts in this thread, that he had treathened and doxxed people.

‘treathened’?

(I actually went as far as looking that up to figure out the definition, and felt rather embarrassed when I realised I hadn’t noticed it was a typo for ‘threatened’…)

Yeah, I still get horribly confused sometimes about where to use the letter "h" in a number of English words.

When this happens to English-speakers, I've heard this called the "floating h problem" or the "Ghandi dilemma".

Sounds like the effect of Grassman's law to me.
