How very disingenuous. You know very well that my opinion of Bobby's mental state is based on far more than his father's obituary and his latest fawning picture of his papa.

We all enjoy playing amateur psychologist in trying to figure out why a particular sovrun or TP persists in idiotic behavior, so trying to rein in that aspect of the conversation is pointless.
However, we have drawn the line at dragging that person's relatives into the discussion, particularly if they are not involved in the subject matter's stupid behavior. Putting up pictures that were taken by the family is not particularly informative or clinical, especially since there may be a context they were taken under for which we have no knowledge. To try to come up with some amateur conclusion at the expense of the relatives' reputations is unfair and mean-spirited.
If people insist on doing this kind of stuff in the future, it is going to be dealt with.
I'll admit that my original post and Wake Up's follow up of the picture was in bad taste. My apologies.
If dragging people's family into the discussion and conjecturing on the mental health of freemen gurus is now out of bounds then I think y'all mods better hurry over to the UK threads where calling freemen gurus crazy and making their families (Crawford's and Ceylon's in particular) prime targets for ridicule is par for the course.
I am reminded of the cypher cat calls about Crawford's obese wife and the pirated YouTube of his cubby daughter dancing in an unbecoming bath robe.
Is my heads up enough, or should I get a weak kneed lurker to point out these posts out to you?
