Anyone know why isn't he posting lately?

I kinda miss his posts. Did he get banned or something?

Edit: Posted in the wrong forum. Move to OT please.

I was wondering about that too. According to his profile his last activity MM-YY was 11-24 which matches his join date. I think he decided to stop posting and left us this as a clue. Who can get into Moonbeam's head to figure this out? :p

Moonbeam is alive and well... He and I play WoW and usually every day as we have for over seven years...!

He was given a three day 'ban' probably on that date 11/24/2011... as the related thread indicated... His comment resulted in a ban.
I can speak for myself but not for him... I think he will be back when he resolves in his mind the cause and effect of his comment.

It has been said that the truth stated in context is not often going to be seen as truth or in context... But for him all that matters is truth.

There are a lot of people that have not posted on here for obvious reasons...

discussions here have been a bit dry!

He was smart, but he was also very rude, often, and to a lot of people.

Wasn't rude to me or anyone else I know... If he was to you, there was probably a very good reason for it...:awe:

I miss Moonbeam. I always enjoyed hearing a perspective that was so radically different from the vast majority of this forum (and my own).

I feel like the problem he always ran into with other members is that he refused to speak their language. If you're going to try to convince someone of something very different than what they believe, you have to speak in terms and ideas that the other side will understand. Moonbeam would make statements like they were obvious, and then be confused when people reacted badly to them.

He probably had too much self-hate and quite posting as a result of it.

Honestly, I got pretty tired of the self hate thing. He might be a very pleasant fellow IRL, but here he got very old very fast.

I miss Moonie! :thumbsup:

Your statement misses the entire context. Go back through the record, and learn.

Moonbeam wasn't that way for years and years and years of posting. Then, he entered P&N, and for quite some time, as in a couple of years, he still wasn't.

But he began to be ruthlessly and personally attacked and derided, crudely and repeatedly, by a core group of posters whom I feel couldn't carry his philosophical or moral jock.

This eventually coarsened his approach. The old P&N coarsened everyone. So Moonie began to become more "provocative" in his approach at times.

Moonbeam was and is one of the finer and most distinctive posters ever to grace these forums.

He was to several members, including me. Frankly, I don't miss him.

If he was rude to you then it's a sign to me that you and I probably would have more differing views subjects than similar views. <shrug>

In any case. I'm glad that Lunar Ray can confirm that Moonbeam is alive and well.

Please give my very best to Mr. Beam. :)

I've thought of adopting his trademark signature as a tribute until he saw fit to return.
