Listen, I know that there have been some alleged “sightings” on the Intertubes about what’s really going on with our ITW here, and I know better than most how it’s almost impossible to resist the urge to speculate and debate such things, particularly when you don’t know what the real story is.
I get that.
I also get that the Intertubes are not the most reliable sources of actual information, and as a web admin of quite some standing, I know how bloody easy it is for sock puppets to spread disinformation far and wide if they feel the urge. Anyway, I’ll repeat something I said in another thread:
I know what DID happen, and that’s it, other than the fact that I would very, very much appreciate it if everybody would kindly understand that I have a good friend who’s going through Hell and I think it would do him well to be allowed to grieve in peace.
I’m not talking about expressions of sympathy, support, prayers or any of that, obviously, that’s always welcome and everybody here have always been wonderful about that, I’m just saying that we should allow the poor guy to NOT have his personal life and sorrows, real or imagined, discussed on the Intertubes while he’s struggling with just staying alive.
When or IF he decides to talk about it at some point in the future, it’ll be his decision and his place to do so, not mine, not yours, not anybody’s.
I know y’all understand this already, so I won’t belabor the issue anymore.
Thatisall.
Hey Emperor,
have you been in contact with him lately? I too know what happened and what he is going through and have been in email contact with him, but haven’t heard anything for about two weeks……
just a reassurance that he is OK is all I ask
I have absolutely no idea what is going on if it is a sock puppet posing as him over at KKKinsane. I will continue to pray for the man. Any updates you are able to give would be appreciated.
May the Good Lord grant DJ peace and healing and guidance back to Him.
i apologize to you Misha
I think about Dave quite often, say a little prayer, send good vibes….for as with so many, this capricious event we call life, often seeming indifferent or cruel……….I can’t even see this site and not think of him……and wish him well fighting whatever it is tomenting him….
So many stricken, just here at the Rott…..too many…..or our loved ones.

It’s alright, my friend. As I noted earlier, I’m no stranger to speculation myself, at times I’m positively addicted to it, I’m just asking that this particular issue be laid to rest. That’s all, really.
OT but DC has been hit by a 5.9 earthquake and we’ve all gone completely batshit crazy. All federal building have been evac’d so traffic is now at a standstill. Phones/cells are down. All ACFD, DCFD-EMS units have been deployed.
Aftershocks and a stronger quake are now predicted.
Cabinet evac’d to a “secure location”
Metro reportedly shutting down (good luck getting home now).
DHS going into “preemptive stance” for possible opportunity attacks
Washington Monument evac’d due to “tilting”

My sister in law lives there, near DC, and she definitely felt it. Out here in Kal I am generally not worried about most modern structures. But I guarantee you, if you have a six directly underneath you no doubt will remain what is going on. I’ve been through a seven, fifteen miles away. Bad enough. I was surprise, though,… Read more »
Hannity’s all “atwitter” over this quake. They’re pikers. You want earthquake? Google the New Madrid earthquake of 1811/1812. THAT was an earthquake.
LC HJ Caveman82952 says:
Amen to that. My parents and other family members are deep into southern Illinois.
That was bigger than any other earthquake in modern history.
hate to tell all y’all, but new madrid is actually a little over due. As is the yellowstone supervolcano. Cheers.
