He also obviously knows Spencer Pratt otherwise Steph wouldn't have brought it up

Gary didn't deny knowing him because he was was being 'badass' or 'owning' somebody with a put down.

He obviously doesn't hav any recollection of him
I don't know whether he has a genuine memory disorder or not. But to be honest, if I have a memory disorder at his age, I'd hate the thought that people were uncomfortable to watch me go about my daily life just because I couldn't remember some stuff. Neural damage and disorders are a disability which are likely to affect many people, and I believe having exposure to it in this way is a good way to remove stigma attached to such disorders (that is if he does have a problem, I don't know either way).

Basically, we shouldn't be writing people off just because they have a disability, it's a bad attitude to have, and not one I'd like to be on the receiving end of.

70 years old IS NO EXCUSE

Keeping blaming his age is being ageist

No, it's being realistic.

You're being offensive by blaming every single aspect of him on his brain injury as opposed to plain old ageing.

Being in your 70s IS AN EXCUSE for bad hearing, aching joints, bad eyesight, moving a lot slower. Pretty common sense.

Saying he shouldn't be in the house because people are repeating themselves a little louder so he can hear is ridiculous.

Great post, especially the bolded part.

I've asked you to elaborate and you can't actually come up with any proof that he's isn't of sound mind or is a "loose cannon" beyond struggling with his hearing and taking a few seconds to place the face of a woman he hasn't seen for years.

Not very convincing so far.
MARSH 4 times I've given several points to prove what I'm saying

All you have done is say its normal for a person to forget someone they've had intimate times with!

Apparently it's now normal to 'take a few minutes to place the face of a woman whose gone down on him every night for two years'

It's well documented that his brain injury affects his daily life

The fact your denying it is just ludicrous

He's golden. "Orgy?" & "Shhh" is legendary.

I think you are looking for a problem in him, that's the issue. Try accepting him for who he is. For someone of my age, I have been familiar with him and his antics for years. I would be the first to be uncomfortable if I felt there really was an issue. So far, I'm not seeing any issue other than a bit of deafness and that is no reason to be uncomfortable at anyone.

I'm not denying anything. I'm saying it's not unusual for a man of his age to be a bit rusty in many areas.

You are claiming his brain injury is making him a loose cannon and crazy. Proof? You've simply latched onto "brain injury" and are now looking for faults, looking for signs and making yourself uncomfortable.

How do you know she was with him every night for 2 years? Met in 2008, I'd bet they were on and off. Looking at pictures she's had a lot of work since then and a lot has happened in his life since then. May it be his brain injury affecting his memory a bit? Possibly. Does that make him dangerous or unfit for CBB? No.

I bet his brain injury does affect his daily life, is that a reason for him to leave CBB? No. If he can handle it, he should be welcome and until a time comes that he can't handle it you shouldn't make assumptions off a 5 minute clip.

There is no proof at all that they were in a real relationship for 2 years.

She is also a woman that isn't a stranger to cosmetic procedures....

You know why I'm laughing? Really? I think he's a lovely man, and he does know what's going on. He's 70 years old and has a hearing impairment and been through a lot, and I think he's just fine.
