I just saw this on DI regarding backwoodsbob.

[polly7]

He lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. I know he posted a lot in here before he was banned, and just thought anyone who'd gotten to know him a bit might want to hear of it.

I'm glad he found some friends at DI.

4. Yw, I was so sad to read that he'd died.

I'm glad he found friends there too, he added a lot at DI, and they will miss him.

Very sorry for his family and friends - in real life and online.

8. Something curious

Bob posted this three years ago:

in the last six months at my old shop in Virginia three people under the age of thirty five have developed cancer...two have died.

A REAL good friend of mine got pancreatic cancer...he died last week.

Who do you call over something like this?It's obvious something isn't right when three people under age 35 get cancer at the same shop in 6 months and two die but really who do you call?

In light of Bob's pancreatic cancer, I don't know what to make of that...

10. Wow

That is very interesting, and scarily foretelling. Im wondering where he worked, something definitely has to be up where they all worked. Would be very interesting to find out where he worked at.

20. Strange

However, I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that the cause is environmental. It certainly could be as the causes of pancreatic cancer are not well understood, however I don't know that there's any known links to it that would explain this. Pancreatic cancer is actually pretty common and things like being overweight and smoking increase the risk factors, which may just happen to be the demographic that fit BWB and his friend that also succumbed to it. Two of my co-workers have died from it in the past 10 years and another has been surviving it for the last 4. All of them were overweight smokers.

9. I'm sorry to hear that.

I know he had his detractors, but no one should die from this terrible disease.

11. RIP

12. thank you. I had no idea he was ill...

RIP Backwoods Bob.

[In_The_Wind]

13. RIP

[Flaxbee]

14. I'm sorry to hear that.

Hadn't he moved to South Carolina? And didn't he have an enormous dog (or two)?

I remember him from when he first started posting; I wasn't around when things got contentious. He seemed like a good person.

If he was working in southern Virginia, that area has a LOT of uranium and mining companies are constantly agitating to start mining again. I wonder if that may have contributed to what sounds like a cancer cluster.

Hi,I'm obviously alive but thanks


How do I explain this?
Other than saying I'm insane it's hard to explain what I have done.

Obviously I'm alive.I am ..in a word..fucked up.

I have faked my death on over twenty websites...using various deaths from cancer to suicide.I crave the attention from people posting about my death.

I have a very obvious mental health problem.I have Schizophrenia I am narcissistic.I have other issues too deep to get into here. I am borderline obsessive/compulsive.I crave attention while claiming terrible things that aren't true.I also claim amazing things that arent true.I am not and have never been in a band.It is true that I can play guitar and I'm pretty damned good but I have never been onstage.I have never raced a car in Nascar.I HAVE raced on a local level but never at the level I have claimed.I have never had cancer or any major disease
Pretty much the only thing I have been true about is my love for my furrbabies.That is an absolute and I love my babies.Big Bear and Little bear and Princess,and above all,,my man..Buddy Guy...every single story about them was true


Part of my therapy is admitting what I did on every website I did this to.
My therapist says I need this and I agree.I have to own up to this.
I can't get beyond what I've done until I Own up to it and I apologize to every person I have hurt.
I never meant to hurt anyone.
I apologize from the bottom of my heart.I swear I never meant to hurt anyone.
I'm in tears thinking about all the lies I have told.I am truly sorry.

And if anyone can crosspost this to DU I would appreciate it.I am banned there.I wish to apologize to everyone there too.
I am TRULY SORRY.My issues are no excuse.I apologize from the bottom of my heart.
I hope to talk on this board but understand if I can't and if I can I can't promise I won't slip but I promise I won't hide who I am
