I think because he made a few racist comments regarding blacks or Chinese but I forget at this point.
So the infraction I recieved for calling him a racist awhile back..was taken with a smile on my part.

I am the first to admit the dollar is an important component in life. Still only one component in a balanced life though. Any fixation on it though is probably generally unhealthy.

This is not an attack on a previous member just what I percieved as a possible issue. In the final anyalisis we all leave this world financially equal at least.

In reality there are still so many more things in life more important than money. The only time excess attention might be devoted or should be devoted to it is if you cannot meet your current daily needs.

Or for example if or any member of my family could become seriously ill later today for example. Any money then is pretty well meaningless. I think you have to be there as both my wife and myself have been to really understand this. Me with cancer at one time and my wife with a very serious heart attack she was fortunate enough to get by.

As the end of the road seriously hopefully slowly approaches I for example will be lucky enough if I get through a list of things to do. They all have little to do with money.

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.
One of the baloney skins on his motor coach must have popped going over a particularly rough bump. Now he's stuck on the side of the road because he decided to save some money by not carrying a spare.

At first his posts made me mad, then they made me laugh, now I look back and think he's a sad man. If his posts are anything like he is in real life, that's a really sad way to live. What a lonely, pathetic existence.

wear out your welcome and move on, works for forums as well as RVing. I cant imagine sitting around a camp fire with him too long if his normal discourse is similar to his online charm

At least at the campfire you can flick a flaming toasted marshmallow at him for entertainment...

We have some thing in common there Clk Man.
Just as well he is not in that position anymore or OD would have a different persona.
