(And there are several.) Just like you, Bob is forceful and brash. In fact, I can think of no one else who's posting style resembles Bob's more than yourself. Bob is sure of himself, just as you are. Bob is very hard to turn when running at full gallop -- just like you. Bob has strong opinions on how things ought to be done -- just like you do. Bob is not the least bit bashful in making unpopular statements. Bob responds in kind. If you insult Bob, he will return the insult. Like Chris, he's kind of good at it (but not with CW's incredible flare). This often leads to the "itch-scratch-Itch-Scratch-ITCH-SCRATCH" metaphor where a series of posts escalates from a discussion to an argument. You will find (however) if you have read Bob's posts as I have for many years, that Bob will instantly change his tone for a topical question. That includes a response to Sean or Chris over in r.g.c.c even after years of antagonism (and to be fair, Chris tends to answer calmly at times too). And just as quickly, he will answer fire with fire. That's Bob.
