FWIW, even though I though Gary was a jerk and we had a serious
and permanent falling out within a few days of our first thread,
I find the current jokes and general discussion of his "status"
in poor taste. No one knows where he is or how he is and I think
you should drop the subject. I for one find these posts in
really bad taste.

Terhune I think did always think you were too much of a bellyacher &
complainer -- thanatoid! And I'm going to put a line to that effect in
his obituary!

I doubt he will be happy with my nym appearing in his obituary.

Sort of avoiding the issue I raised as well, aren't you?

I see no evidence of jokes or bad taste. Perhaps dadiOH and hemeroid
would like to point them out.

And besides, Gary could have always chosen to post under an alias if he
wanted. What expectation of privacy do you have when you're not trying
to hide your identity?

No one knows where he is


I believe I posted sufficient evidence to the contrary.

The entire thread is in bad taste, is in fact despicable. Doing an
online search and then posting a phone number that may or may not be
Gary's is beyond bad taste by quite a bit. You apparently value no
one's privacy but your own. Now we will likely be treated to an abusive
discourse by you on how *you* know how to protect your privacy, and if
someone else didn't plan in advance for it, then they deserve to have
their privacy invaded by mean-spirited people such as yourself. When
Gary and countless others were posting here with our real names and
email addresses for quite a number of years, in order to further help
the, at that time, sincere group of folks posting, the Internet was a
far different place and privacy was not a large concern. We took
private emails for extra help as a matter of course. You were nowhere
to be seen, you were not here helping anyone, all through the late
1990's and very early 2000's.
Once contact info is available, it remains. That doesn't require you to
post other's personal info here, except to be a mean-spirited person.

It is just this sort of talking-behind-someone's-back thread and all the
references to someone's death when there is no evidence of it, that has
dragged this once-helpful group down into a sewer of personal attacks.

The comments made in these threads about Gary, about "God's intentions",
and the attempted humour the idea of Gary's death, I find personally
offensive to the extreme. Having dealt with the deaths of three of the
closest people in my life in the past year, one of them horribly tragic,
I can only find the whole lot of you, and your comments, sickening. You
are a bunch of spoiled and cruel children.

I am done with this group, and good riddance.
