Some of you will remember Darwinian who was an active member on here a while ago. I am sad to announce that he passed away earlier this week at the age of 58. I was friends with him, his daughter contacted me to let me know.

What a fucking shame, that's way too soon. Thanks for letting us know.

Sorry to see this.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I don't think I interacted with Darwinian much...probably way above my pay grade...I tend to shy away from certain people so I don't sound like a complete buffoon (which may or not be successful).
But I am very sorry you lost your friend and way too young. I am at the age where any death I hear about, I do the math.
Hugs and a wish for comfort.

I was sooooo hoping this would be a "whatever happened to" thread.
This sucks! Thanks for the heads up @

Yeah, that's a bummer. But Darwinian wasn't just an active member, but also an ex administrator, right? He started the thread of Staff Log Bannings.
Thanks for letting us know.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
