I used to enjoy reading his ramblings. He did not seem evil, just rambling along. n/t RKP5637 Oct 2013 #26

I think He got a pizza, but I don't remember why.

Quite a few of us picked up on the "beer & travel money" theme. I remember that I did.

He was more a lost soul drifting about, NOT TAKING HIS MEDS.

His flameout was inevitable the way he was going.

His writings were rather fascinating, if not particularly rational. I can only hope he has some people in his life who care about him. I'll always be sorry that he flamed out here.

When the Admins posted the stuff that got him booted in DU2's ATA, it was definitely over the line. Rather shocking, actually. It made me feel very sad for him. I think he was very troubled, but never evil.

I always wondered if his account got hijacked or something. Or maybe it was just a medical issue. Anyway, too bad. I found him entertaining.

I still don't know if it was performance art. But I will never forget the character or the phrase.

I wish he would come back.

It was really, really tedious, crappy, obscure nonsensical performance art.


The guy was a nutcase, pure and simple.

If nothing else, I hope he got help.

I THINK that was him, anyway. And "unique" he certainly was.

As are we all, in one way or another.

Reading his posts I always thought he was on the inside of something I was on the outside of. Not sure I wanted to be in there with him but it was always entertaining.

And then all of a sudden he wasn't there anymore. Couple of months ago I saw a post that referred to beer and travel money, but I couldn't remember his name.

Looks like he flamed out big time. Sorry to see that because I'm sure he'd have some incomprehensible comments on current events.

Not really, but his ramblings were certainly peppered with that word.

Either that or a program that spit out random phrases running unchecked in someone's basement.
