He done got himself banned.  I guess it was "board suicide" after the recent restructuring announcements.

I generally don't get into things like this, but I had a soft spot for the guy.  

I didn't chime in on his blogs much, but as a general rule, if I track you, I read your stuff.  He was/is hardcore into gaming and he participated regularly, which is all anyone can ask around these parts anymore.  He was enthusiastic and at times hot headed.  He was heavily modded and dodged the GS grim reaper longer than anyone I can think of and, to his eternal credit, he delivered a heart felt apology to other users he had once alienated.  It was a genuine mea culpa, complete with a request for forgiveness and, for some reason, the humble magnanimity of that act -- something very, very rare on the anonymous, telephone-toughguy internet -- stuck with me and I appreciated him for it.

So here's to him.

Another GS vestige bites the dust.
