Farewell to Pi2 (aka Xanadu).... R.I.P.
Chir;i thx for clearing that up I was wondering about that - the infamous Xanadu ranch with 'Groundhog day parties'..
Classy.
Actually, according to the World Health Organization, "Tuberculosis (TB) is second only to HIV/AIDS as the greatest killer worldwide due to a single infectious agent."
WHO | Tuberculosis
Rest in peace, Pi2
RIP ... and my condolences to his family!
I knew he was real. We had traded some PMs. and he was a very different personality there. He even gave me his contact info.
Different, yes, but he was serious about what he believed in. He knew he was being teased. But he also knew that there was some respect for those beliefs.

Makes you stop and think as we banter (some good and some bad) back and forth that until we have walked in someone else's shoes we never really know. His concept was good, save the earth, his ways of doing it just were odd at times. But you have to give respect to someone who believes in their convictions. Life is too short sometimes.
i must say i feel like a bully now. yes, he did pi** me off immensely, being often so far off the mark and drifting towards some unrealistic solutions. but be was not a stupid man. and dedicated to his cause.
this will be a constant reminder for me not to get cross with posters here
as far as TB... such a shame. this disease is on the roll again, like the blast from the past, after so many thought it was nearly eradicated or controlled. i know the medication for TB sucks and in worst cases therapy with antibiotics can last even two years. i am surprised he was not forced into treatment. i know that in poland, and also in the UK this is a notifiable illness and new cases need to be reported. in PL the treatment used to be compulsory and fully paid by the government (that was post was reality), not sure about now...

He may have been a man of means....kept talking about his properties in Spain and London as I recall..... he could support that w/ land/housing prices.
He may have fooled everybody..... seaweed salads were for real, I expect

Both Ellie and I enjoyed reading the "back-and-forth" postings that occurred whenever he got involved in a thread. Where we did not agree with his perception and way of thinking sometimes, we were impressed by the way he "stuck to his guns" regarding his beliefs despite the fact others did not agree with his view of things.
Life just got a little bit more boring without him
R.I.P. and we hope he didn't suffer at the end.
Respectfully.
Ian & Ellie

well in the DR, i think that you are banned from getting your cedula if something shows up on the chest xray.. i mean they do not care about lung cancer, right?
So he may have known that he had cancer and decided to come here and not be forced into treatment for TB.
ye gods.. Are they getting it in England and the States again?
Thought we had whopped that one.
but it is contaigious, is it not?
It would be hard to believe that this gentleman, with whom I engaged in so many discussions with opposing views, is now gone. He was a character on par with with Doc Brown from the "Back to the Future" movies trilogy. He used to refer to me as "The Planet Trasher", in spite of the fact that I work in the auto industry providing alternative energy powertrains to clean up the environment. I used to refer to him as "Mucho Loco."
I have to admit that I was beginning to acknowledge his extended absence and missed his wild and far out postings. It never occurred to me that he had passed on.
Mucho Loco, wherever you are in our galaxy, you are sadly missed and I hope your existence here was satisfying and your exit painless. Please rest in peace and forgive me if I ever offended you, for everything stated was in the heat of battle, between gladiators.
With much regret about your passing,
MJEV, "The Planet Trasher".
