(September 2, 2017 at 3:42 am)Cthulhu Dreaming Wrote: RS, as far as I could tell, was a big misunderstanding, at least the final straw. I do think he had some gripes about how the forum was run. I liked the guy, I was sorry to see him go.
Most of the regulars from back when I joined are long gone...and there's been more than I can count since. I would like to know what happened to padraic, he just dropped off the surface of the planet by all appearances. I expect he must be dead.
I read through the thread where it happened. Doesn't look like a misunderstanding to me, looks like he got mad about the general mod post reminding everyone to be nice on a welcome thread. And then he threatened L.P. with physical violence. I love RS but that was a bit much imho. Wish he were still here though.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
