Skid Row Joe. I miss that guy.

Does anyone here know what other forums he frequents?

Our almighty mods gave him a permanent ban I think.

I think he said that he was going traveling. You could try the RV forums or BW.
OD is much quieter with his absence.
There have been a few high profile members depart either by choice or direction this year.

What's there to miss? A constant adulation of self and loathing of anyone who didn't bow down to his rambling pontifications?

His thoughts about benzes were usually right on. (except when it came to Craig).

His other thoughts I would not give a nickel for.

Iirc he was also banned from bw. I'm not sure if it has expired but I know that is NOT easy to get banned there...

His posts in the other forums were interesting and informative. Here he was stunningly predictable, redundant and quite frankly boring. I don't miss him.

He took the BRK credit down grade very poorly. With lots of therapy doctors say he has a 50/50 chance of rejoining society. We wish him a speedy recovery.

They just had different business models.

Probably the feeling was mutual. The difference is it appeared that he had plenty (of nickels) !!!

X2, lotta talk but never stood up to questions about inconsistencies. I think he was playing fantasy broker and giving us his score

Isn' that true of most of us? Seriously, if we are guided by principles, won't our responses be rather predictable?
I think that you just do not accept his principles.

He did manage to get himself banned from Benzworld which IMHO is quite an achievement.

I think because he made a few racist comments regarding blacks or Chinese but I forget at this point.
