He’s not dead but probably isn’t coming back, either. If he does, he better have a second stomach full of latinum.

    I mean, fwiw I was only debating some random point or other and he got super dickish. Like way off the point being-an-asshole. I think if you agreed with his comment it was fine, if you didn’t and he chose to dig into it you were not going to get along.

      Yeah, i feel the same about squid. He was usually decent but sometimes he would snap and be a total dick to people. People like that shouldn’t be mods imo.

        Agreed on the mod part. Just because someone posts a lot in a community means that they’d be a good mod.

        I didn’t like him, but I hope he gets to a better place mentally, financially, and physically. No Star Trek fan should feel displaced, despair, or discouraged.

      I’m going to chalk that up to stress. I noticed that behavior occasionally in the last couple of months too, but he upended his family’s life to move to another country to try to protect his child against the fascist takeover of the US government.

      That move didn’t go smoothly or as smoothly as he would have liked. It’s at least a bit understandable that he was less chill than in the past. I’m occasionally hu-mon too despite my best efforts.

      I enjoyed his presence here and would be happy to see him return, but if it’s better for his mental health to unplug, then so be it.

        Having moved continents without family and with family once each, I can tell the second takes a heavy toll. He should unplug for a bit. You could clearly see a tipping point in his behavior once things started to get dire. I’m rooting for him and his family.
