We no longer debate the merit of ideas here.

Don't I know it heh, talk about being outclassed. We both found it hilarious. It's kinda funny he leaves near me and we go to the same bar, he told me he was leaving and we would never know it if we were sitting right next to eachother

Hate to bring the bad news and it makes me feel even worse that it took me so long to care to look up and find out a few years too late. Anyway...

Many years ago it so happened that we "met" with Adrian II, ie. exchanged real names and even had a couple short phone chats. It was extremely important for him that I shouldn't reveal his identity, to which I promised and with which promise I'll remain bound to the end. A few weeks ago I did a web search and came up with his obituary :(

Ouch. Really sad to hear that

Dreadful news. Any details?

My lips are sealed to protect his anonymity. Only these: He passed away naturally (health reasons) and no, he wasn't Tosa (that was a popular ORG/Chatroom urban legend once upon a time)

:sad2:

Well wish I hadn't read this topic now.

Enjoyed Adrian's contributions seemed like an intelligent guy who knew what he was on about.

Hore Tore was a great guy as well, after reading up on it's even sadder than I thought, guy was so young as well.

Getting older sucks.

:sad2:

That's all I can muster.

Sad news indeed brother Mouza, as Adrian often referred those he appreciated. He was one of the patrons here who brought the discussion to a higher level.

For those who didn’t know Adrian – a thread with a potential flammable topic. Yet the clientele around Adrian always seemed to keep it cool.
He was sorely missed even before he passed.

I remember Adrian quite well. This sucks :(

When did he pass on?

Incredibly sad. RIP Adrian.

I don't there was ever a time that it wasn't partisan in here. A lot of the older partisan debaters seem to have left or passed away but I still enjoy coming back here and mostly reading the various opinions here and on rare occasions participating.

The monastery used to have good historical debates as well but seeing as everything seems to come down to racism now all debates seem to really occur here.

I've seen far more hate and inflammatory debates on the now defunct militaryphotos.net forums.

56 according to the obituary.

I know who he was than. How horrible all this. In his way too short life he had a whole lot of fun, that's comforting

Life is fundamentally pain. :(

No it isn't you just get hurt once in while. I am really sad he's gone but I'm sure he doesn't mind that I do
