The problem here is that Bob has no official capacity within the group. He isn't even a member. While his claims are likely to be true, there's no way to corroborate that independently. Evidence can be faked, and even "voting the current owner off the island" by polling existing members has its problems. Thus support's hands are tied.?
The group owner owns the group, not the members. He should be able to run it as he sees fit. If he wants it to wither from neglect, that's his right. If when he dies, he wants it to die with him, that's his right, too. He should not be subject to ouster by those who think they know how to do things better, even if it's just from a misunderstanding. If that happens even once, that's once too many.??
This question has come up over and over and that's why
it's in the FAQ. If you think it might become a problem, do something about it now. You cannot buy life insurance after you're already dead.

Bruce
