    Default Fragony

    So it has come to my attention this morning that Fragony has passed away.

    I had the opportunity to meet with him in his home town of Amersfoort back in 2015 and he showed me nothing but kindness and hospitality.

    He was a very active user on these forums and he will be surely missed.

    Rest in peace Frags.

    Good God?!?!! This sounds untimely...

    I will miss him. He had a nattering charm that was part of the culture here.

    Rest in Peace.

    Wow, I'm shocked. Almost never agreed with him, but that doesn't mean I didn't wish him well.

    Very sad indeed.

    How terrible, he was young. My sympathies to his friends and family, despite our differences he had a strong personality. Absolutely awful to hear.

    Really sad to hear that. He was always exceptional at remaining civil and calm during any political debate. Rest in peace, Fragony.

    Rest in peace and i hope all is better for you where ever you are and i pray you are smiling to us from there. Too many Orgah´s have been taken too early, too young: Tosainu, HoreTore and now Frag´s. Ive said it before and say it again.I always thought you had a big heart, while many of your opinions i could not agree with, but then opinions are opinions and actions are what counts.

    Fragony was most certainly a controversial character on the Org, a kind hearted person with some political contradictations which could mask this side of him. As an example, he could make it clear his view of immigration from the east but that didn't stop him from offering to share his home to a Syrian Refugee who was desperate and in a crisis.

    I hope you find the peace you sought in life.

    Strange how devastated I am by the death of someone I never met in real life. His opinions were thought provoking, but the man had a heart of gold. For all his though talk about immigrants, he was always there for friends in need, no matter their origin. A beautiful personality.And a great sense of humour. I had some brilliant and hilarious conversations in the TYOLT thread together with him and the Dutch-speaking gang.He was one of the main reasons I sticked around in my first few years around here.The good die young, they say. Bas was a good man. I'll miss him.Het ga je goed, mia muca, waar je ook bent. Laat die man met zijn witte baard een poepje ruiken en zet die hemel daar maar eens flink op stelten. Ongetwijfeld vind je wel wat knappe engeltjes wiens anatomie, geef maar toe, je altijd geïntrigeerd heeft.

    Fragony has been on my mind a lot since learning of his passing. He was an interesting man. I never engaged with him on any serious matter, but read a lot of what he had to say on serious and light topics - it was hard not to considering the number of posts he had here at the Org. He was often at odds with most other patrons on some subjects and yet, when the discussion was over, he never seemed to hold a grudge against anyone who held an opposing viewpoint. He was a fine example of the kind of person many of us need to strive to be like, especially those of us in the US in the current political and social environment in which we are currently embroiled, where disagreement has become the equivalent of hate. And, as Andres said, it was very apparent he had a heart of gold. He left me with the impression he knew how to live life for the pure enjoyment of it - the Hunter S. Thompson quote comes to mind when thinking of Fragony:

    “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'Wow! What a Ride!'”
    What a ride you had here at the Org, Fragony. RIP

    I'm shocked. He was frequently active in this forum. I felt as if I knew him personally. He was so civil and calm that it took several of his posts for me to realize that he had controversial opinions.

    I'm sorry to hear that, gentlemen. It sounds like he was a good dude and he reached out a few times outside this forum on social media. RIP Bas rest his soul.

    I learned about this yesterday coming back from a week afk.
    Although I did not really know Fragony (we never chatted/posted directly) it took me a whole day before I was able to post here. I am as shocked as everyone else by the news but also touched by the warm words people have for him here.

    If comments and replies in this thread are coming in slow, I think it is just because sympathy cannot be measuerd in numbers of posts. It probably can not be measured at all. So easy to add a funny comment to a funny video - so hard to find the words that truely show how you feel. Rather than saying something awkward or out of place, many would rather say nothing at all. That's just how it is, nothing more to it.

    Reading back over some old posts and reading what people have written here, it reminds me that although we play our games in the virtual world hiding inside virtual characters and avatars, there are very real people behind each post here. Somehow I find comfort in it.
