Taverner's gone. I feel bad about that.

GD thread for anyone who's interested. Sounds like he flamed out but I like the guy and I know he posted some real concerns here sometimes.

If you're out there, . Stay cool.

He is on Facebook, if you want to friend him.

Let me know, and I'll PM you his name.

His dad isn't doing well, so I would imagine that was part of it. I totally disagree with his PPR.

I didn't know him very well at all and had just started following some of his posts in the last month or so as I have been more active in the Lounge. I hope things improve for him and he someday comes back and rejoins us.
