Hey, sorry you are going. I had you on ignore but I still read some of your posts.

You were definitely part of TheFretboard family and you will be missed. Laughs and insults in equal measure but ultimately it was all good banter.

Well I liked the guy, provocative for sure and impossible to win an argument with but hey, he knew his stuff and he us a musician which a lot of us (ok, me) wish they could be if only I could pull my finger out if my arse.

I never know quite what to say on the subject of, or in threads involving, Drew.  To be perfectly honest, I am more than a little afraid of him. But this place is somewhat less interesting when he's not here.

Unless you know him in person it's just an online persona, like mine is to you. Not sure there's much to be afraid of there  

To be honest, for someone who had the reputation as one of the board's flagship windup merchants, my tiny handful of interactions with him were entirely polite almost to the point of being bland.

A fascinating person but he takes it too far and too often for my liking.

I work just down the road from his flat, do I need to check that he hasn't thrown himself out of the window?




He'd probably survive. It's the ground floor.

He's only on a break and he isn't suicidal. Pretty sure he'll be back.

If hes only on a break, does that mean he can court other forums..Fora...without feeling guilty?

BigBearKris

He'll be back tomorrow with a proper cuntish comment

Nothing to be afraid of. Lovely chap in person.

Yes - he comes over different on here to how he seems face to face .
But I find the idea interesting that in trying to wind up or antagonise others he gets himself in a state - to the extent that he needs to bail out for a while.

Oh, I'm sure he is.  It's the online persona I'm scared of.

For what it's worth, there's logic behind posting here. Drew's tried to take time off from here before, and always ended up coming back. He doesn't want to do that again (he's nuked a few of his other online accounts too), so by posting it he's trying to make it more difficult to come back.

I was thinking that, it's something I do when I take a facebook break. Like I can't log in and be seen online if I say I'm away for a bit, then you really do look like you were seeking attention

He's still on Grindr though.

I can't find him or you on there.....  Do I need to change my location settings?

Sorry, but I really don't think Drew's that thin-skinned to give a shit about his reputation should he recant.

I can make it more difficult for him to come back.  Next time he reappears (which he will do), can I just ban him immediately?

Problem solved all round.
