A lot of us are personally involved in eachothers lives. Zap's passing just brought the degree of this to light. This place is a second home to a lot of us. Theres always some reservation to admitting this because its the internet but its true. A lot of us have been here for years, we all talk to eachother near daily. We're here for our victories, and our loses no matter how big or small. Theres always been some less then desirable members but this place has sparked a lot of lifelong friendships, genuine friendships, and it truly is a community to many. Let his passing push you to seize the moment before its gone, and love your fellow man before he too makes his.

Here to say RIP, Zappa gave me tons of great advice over the years. Most of his advice to me was "grow up and stop being an idiot" and when I started taking that advice seriously, my life got better. From helping me with job stuff, to dealing with relationships and family... I would ask advice here and he'd frequently chime in.
RIP man, you obviously impacted a lot of us in good ways. And I bet money people talking shit don't even get a second glance here if someone rolls in saying they're dead, not one.
RIP

Awesome point, Bodhi... This place has given rise to a lot of positivity in my life, allowing me to cultivate not only mushrooms, but real friendships and connections in ways that may have not have happened otherwise in real life... I can't say I would have ever gotten to interact with someone as old as ZiG in the ways that many of us did debating and talking, it's really hard to see someone's age through text, so it kind of levels out things in a sense.. but I'm glad I did. His abrasive, blunt sense of humor and ways of communicating were refreshing to me.

I kept coming back to this thread today. He was one of those people where many of us loved to hate him. Not even truly hate but you get the idea.
His presence will be sorely missed.

I never hated him. I always appreciated his point of view here and actually agreed with him about 80% of the time. Maybe it's because I'm 41 and my once anarchist viewpoint is becoming more moderately realistic in the world we live in.
Icelander was also a sad loss. I got really pissed at him a few times and even threatened to beat his ass if I ever saw him. I felt horrible when I learned how sick he was. Sometimes this computer shit gets more personal than you ever think it possibly could. Turns out there's real people with real problems in their lives behind these avatars and sigs.

He's been very sick and stopped posting, but he was generally moving away from posting. On another note, I was supposed to stop by his place this summer and he stopped responding to my messages around the time he stopped posting here.
Its possible, personally I've come to accept this lack of closure, not having a solution and being that death is inevitable.
To Icelander, regardless

I am usually not one to show compassion under any circumstance, but in this particular situation we should keep this thread in a positive light. No need to be passive aggressive and talk about how everyone loved to hate him, he is a person, had many good contributions here and was a long term member who kept the conversations he was involved with moving, this man had his ways of being sure everyone considers all aspects of their politics and theology.

So, I've been kind of chatting with his daughter. (don't worry, not in a tacky or weird way).
She replied to my initial message I sent a week or whatever ago asking if he was ok. I then posted on his "wall", and that's where she 1st replied and broke the news shortly before I made this thread.
I woke up this morning to a message from ZIG's daughter apologizing that she didn't see it sooner, as it went in to her "other" folder. Of course I told her it was quite alright obviously and more or less just said her father touched a lot of people over the years and they're all mourning his loss and reminiscing about him currently. Also extended the courtesy of telling her that if she or the family need anything that we would be capable of providing, it would be happily done ASAP. I don't think there would be anything, but if there is, I'm fully confident that en masse, we would be able to assist. I'm being purposefully vague about where and what "we" are, but she knows full well that he had a large online presence, so yeah... If he never told her he was popular on an Internet mushroom site, then I don't intend to, but it's clearly not a mystery to her that he has a lot of online friends.
So that's what happened and I thought I should share.
It's not my intention to insert myself (or us) in to a place that we don't obviously belong, but I do intend to reply to any message she sends... So, I'll let you know of anything else comes up.
I don't want to ask her any questions about him or his death, nor over-extend any welcome, but did want to at least reply to her message and extend an offer of assistance if there was anything I or we could help with.

I don't think my words were overtly negative, and I don't want to BS about how I felt towards him. Suffice to say I miss him. He was very cut and dry and I think i'd be doing a disservice to pretend that I didn't agree with a lot of what he said.
Regardless, none of that matters, we're here to mourn.

At least he won't have to see Trump become President. That man truly did not like Trump.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I wasn't implying that you lack compassion, I was making sure the people here who know me, knows that I am being serious and not fishing or trolling.
For me to be serious, compassionate, and not looking for a weakness to exploit is very unlike me.
