Not this: THE DISAPPEARING SPOON
Robert the discontented bobsled (or something) - a member of this blogging community is a bit like someone's elderly and demented relative who wanders away from time to time. Just when you think he's fallen down a hole or been eaten by feral cats he turns up again, a bit worse for wear but essentially the same - that is: addled, confused and ever so more Christian which I guess is the same thing.
Robert keeps deleting or parking his blog with posts disappearing from time to time - sometimes temporarily and often - forever.
Robert seems to think this is funny but, to the many, a few some of the readers, this is very annoying. I mean, why bother crafting a clever and witty riposte in the comments section, or something that Richard might write if it's not going to be left for posterity for future bloggers to read?
When I revisit an old post of mine to copy the link if relevant into a new post, I look at the comments made at the time of the earlier post. If Robert has previously commented, when he deletes his blog his comments disappear as well. Often his comments are so bizarre, racist, sexist, anti LGBQTist or disturbingly religious that Richard and I comment back to him. When his initiating comments go up in a puff of smoke then our responses stand out in isolation like a ship in a dried up sea.
Sheesh!

Yes, sheesh!
I agree, it is weird behaviour. It puts me off following his blog. Well said, TC.
Sometimes your (including RBB) comments are clever and witty; other times they are rude and embarrasing. I wrote a 'nice' light hearted blog including published, little known material, I have read about St Joseph. One comment I recieved referred to 'erections' and the other 'ejaculation'. I'm then put between a rock and a hard place. I don't like deleting comments so the only choice I have is to unpublish the post and revert it to 'draft'.
Like the Vatican confiscating and archiving any dissenting views over the centuries maybe.
