Yeah, and IIRC he dropped off of Facebook and stopped answering emails and such as well. It was not just here, he flat out disappeared.

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.

It's a thing in prison. Be badass or be fucked in the ass (sometimes literaly, sometimes methaphoracly). Typical jailbird atittude that sometimes is hard to let go, I can tell you. In the end he gone free by the same door he got in. The charge is the same, zero. This forum is not a prison.
Well, at least for those that want to remain in the hotel.

That's really big of you for not having gotten angry or held any grudges against him after all he said to you. I'm proud of you L.P.

I hope Sal's ok. It could be real life stuff. Let's hope in a good way.
He added me to Skype and we talked for a while. I think he just got bored.
I guess talking to me can do that to a person

RocketSurgeon was awesome as hell and a tremendous asset to AF, IMO.
He could outthink 95% of this MFs on this forum, easily.

Kingpin was the most awesome of AF theists, as he was the most lacking in pretense. And he was just a great member in general, tbh.
Thoughtful, sincere. Wicked smaht.
Hope he turns up again someday.
