When will you stop attempting to use that tired worn out old chestnut? It was not as if no one else here every disagreed with him or was attacked by him. And while I do not recall if it was you or someone else, but someone claimed he had some sort of; "problems" so who knows why he went off the reservation? If his problems were psychological possibly he stopped taking his meds or needed them increased, or cut, and he became overly temperamental and could not deal with anyone not always totally agreeing with him about everything so he ran and hid.
Who knows why he actually left, especially if he had the; "problems" he was said to have? He is bound to have just switched boards ... so if you miss your buddy so much why don't you search the other growing sites, find him, join and hang with him again rather than bitch, piss, moan and PMS about me because Hobbes allegedly had; "problems" and took a powder?
Why not drop all the things that are utterly meaningless to this thread and allow it to get back on track? Why can't you do that? Why WON'T you do that?
