I noticed a couple of days ago that Tad hadn't been around - and today I noticed that his old posts aren't on the site and thus he is no longer a member.
Tad was a kind sole and a regular poster on here - he had a passion for social issues and was always keen to participate in discussions on any social/current affair type issues. I didn't always agree with his views but Tad was a gentle fella who was never deliberately abusive, aggressive or robust in his language and - even if he upset someone - there was never any intended malice or aggression in his posts.
Tad, if you read this mate, I would like you to know that there are plenty here who believe the site is poorer for your departure.
I hope you're doing well mate and I hope to see you back on here sooner rather than later.
Cheers brother :)

Haaahaa lol Frankie... that'll win him over. I can see Snake and him spending more time laughing and giggling than anything else.
Also, TAD's a great painter, so I wonder what kind of artwork would come out of that tour. Maybe, some real-life portraits.
The thing with Tad was that you may not have agreed with his opinion he always put forward a good argument, he backed up his opinion with stats and figures and never tried to shout anyone down for disagreeing with him. As a long time eels member of this site I am saddened by the departure of a lot of the other long time members. Some truly great people have gone and you have to ask why I
Tad, you are part of the furniture here mate and much loved.
Its not the same without you mate and i implore you to come back after a bit of a break, we all need that sometimes.
You are appreciated more than you know and add your own type of caring, warm charm to the place.
We are never gonna see eye to eye with everybody mate but running from that is not the right option, being around different people is good for personal growth, even if you dont like em all the time.
You are a special person mate, a thoughtful and lovely man and you will always have a place here, im sure everybody agrees with that.
So please come back and be part of the community, i miss you bro, so do many others.
