The Silence of Silent Bob

WTF? You know, when this idea was presented as a joke in another thread, it was funny. But here it’s not cool at all. SILENT-BOB has been around for longer than I have, and has endeared himself to everyone (myself included). Now, when he’s had this happen you come along and call him a troll, or my sock puppet?!?
It should suffice to say you’re mistaken, it’s coincidental, this isn’t the place for accusations, and that I echo UncleBeer’s sentiments.

I like Silent_Bob. I don’t think he’s trollish at all. For a guy who never says anything, he sure can convey more meaning and feeling in his posts than a lot of the true trolls who somehow find their way here.

And Bob doesn’t say mean things to people when sad news is posted about them.

:frowning:

Bob, I’m sorry for your loss, and I hope that the time away helps you grieve long enough to start remembering all the wonderful things that you loved about the person who isn’t here anymore, but since YOU are, they continue to live on through your memories.

Way to make friends, Fonz.

:wally

Sympathy and warm thoughts going to out to Silent Bob.

(And Pink? The mods are actually very good at identifying and dealing with trolls. Somehow, blasting your negative opnions about a poster in a thread about a death in his family doesn’t reflect well on you.)

Cheer up you Tubby Bitch

I mean that.

This isn’t exactly true. We had a couple of posters who did this first, and got banned “for vandalizing the board”, as I recall Tuba’s phrasing. I think one had the name blank, and made up for a while and got the name FormerlyKnownAsBlank. Then there was a one who’s name was “.” and one “?” or perhaps “!”

And their stchick was just as dumb. And mute.

And for Silent-Rob to say the -bob “has endeared himself to everyone (myself included)”, that’s a bit much. If you aren’t his other sock, then you must be his spin-doctor.

Don’t speak for me, thank you very much. I’m not a fan of either of you.

I bet none of the people he “putzed” are in his fan club.

There do have to be a lot of people who find him dull-witted and stupid, but aren’t up to mentioning it because they don’t want to see more putz cartoons.

Can you guess why? No, because you’re in his fan club. You can’t see that everytime he says putz half the readers think “only a putz says putz”. Look up at the people who have used it here and you’ll see it’s true.

It also seems we have our most annoying posters declaring they are gone, like they have no clue that other people take time off for a million reasons. That’s because they are so full of themselves they can’t see there are thousand of posters, thousands of which are gone in any given week.

It’s time for silent to grow up.

Actually, there was a troll that took Silent Bob’s name back when there was that glitch in the software that allowed it. IIRC, because of the real SB’s low post count, the fake was able to blur the difference between the two rather quickly.

I do agree that the real SB is NOT a troll, he is loads of fun and, so far, true to form. You have to admire his ability to communicate only in smilies yet resist the temptation to expound. He’s a model of self-control and I don’t care if he’s a sockpuppet, I dig him.

I am sorry for his loss and I hope he returns soon.

(That wasn’t meant to be all bold, I missed a ** somewhere after the quote)

:wally

Yeah! I was right again!

Lets see we have ShakeNBake , Pink and you Easy Tokyo

:wally’[sup]s[/sup] all .

Now if you’ve got something about SB you want to get off your chest please take it to the pit . I’m sure you will get a good reception over there :rolleyes:

Leave this thread please . It is not about you or your anti-SB crap .

It’s like this, ET–there are two classes of posters: those who would be missed if they didn’t show up for awile, and those who would not. Judging from the majority response in this thread, SILENT-BOB would be in the first catagory. Judging from how you just have to post crap in a thread like this, it looks to me like you’re jealous about yourself being in the second catagory.

Maybe youshould grow up.

I think the empty frame with just “putz” in it was WallyM7’s trademark, wasn’t it?

And Satan used to do the single icon post.
Usually with his special flaming guy.

Oh Mods, dear Mods…can’t you guys PLEASE delete all these nasty posts from the :wally:'s? Please please pretty please? Make them go away and tell them to start a Pit thread?

I have one started, Feel free to Flame away. Anyways, this is Bob’s thread.

Silent Bob has asked me to relay that all the supportive posts have really helped him feel a lot better, and he thanks us all for helping him through this rough time. And he loves us all, and he loves this community. Hopefully, we should be seeing him soon.

SB: Back atcha, sweets.

You do tend to overreact, don’t you?

It’s seems the complaints aren’t anti-SB at all, but anti-troll.
I personally find the silent joke ok, but to say all it’s detractors are anti-SB makes no sense.
I’m sure if we took a vote on your opinons, results would be mixed. Why should that not apply to the Silents?

Take care Bob, and please do come back when you’re ready. We need you here to balance out my big mouth!
