R cannot die as R does not exist in the conventional accepted meaning of the word.
R is actually a
gestalt entity.
He is a composite of the forum staff, and of Fred (the Fred explains the weird shit
).
Fred is an experiment of the R composite and is actually called fRed (the capital R to signify that R is within fred, as fred is a part of the whole that is R).
The fRed paradox is that R is the creator of Fred, but fRed is a part of R, and so technically created himself.
It's a forum version of the chicken and the egg.
It was brought about by R (therefore the whole forum staff) being bored after playing with a pencil and rubber band one rainy Saturday afternoon.
The short answer to the question is that R cannot die unless all the forum staff are wiped out at the same time, and should the forum then promote new staff from the ranks, R would live again.
That said, if the forum staff were to be wiped out and fRed sigma was left, then R would take on the personality of Fred (fRed).
For the Harry Potter fans, think of fRed is Lord Voldermort's final horcrux
