RWebb??

Saw this in PARF and wondered if it was the same guy. Anyone have any connection to verify?

If not true, would be a pretty elaborate post fraud...or a different Randy Webb? Anyway, I had his email...just sent one. Will post if I learn anything.

We definitely had our differences, but I hope this is a mistake...

And I think he was in Oregon. I hope it's not him.

RWebb's last post was 26 Aug of this year.

And “thor66’s” last 40 or so posts were also on August 27. So, yes.

Wow- I do hope he is ok. I pledge to take both of his user ids off my Ignore List if he is.

I thought Thor was Maddawgi, but I don't keep up. I ignore most of political crap here, and rarely visit PARF, so I never had an issue with all eight of them .

Face it boyz .... the long timers here are on short time now ... kinda sux when you've been interacting here for over two decades and then you realize they haven't been around and won't be back .

RIP Randy...

I hope it’s not him but that sure looks like Randy. I don’t think Randy was Thor, though. Randy had been a lawyer briefly and you could still tell from his posts that he had legal training. Thor wrote slightly differently and didn’t show any legal sophistication. Randy always went out of his way to be complimentary to me and Thor was, if not hostile, at least unfriendly to me, so I never thought they were the same person. But Randy could have been so clever that he kept character so well he filled me. Either way, I hope he’s still here. If not, Godspeed.

Randy and Terry had legal backgrounds... I never had an issue or anything negative from them. They both "provoked" as a tactic... for those who engaged .

Now who was Ziggy?

I miss them all here on PPOT ... just figured they were in PARFland ... doing what PARFers do..

Yep. Had a lot of people fooled thinking that Thor was Corgi when it was actually Webb. Pretty sure that he was Ziggy as well. I guess that some people find it amusing to play around on forums. I don’t get it but then I don’t get a lot of things.

The timeline of him stopping posting and dying sure sounds like Covid but I suppose it could have been something else. Sad. 😞

There are those that meet one another outside this BBS and those who “hold their cards close to their vest” for one reason or another.

RWebb seemed to be the latter, don’t know if he socialized with any Pelicans out in the wild.

If that is him RIP.

Seems too much of a coincidence to not be him. Here today gone tomorrow so live well. RIP
