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 :)

Who upset Tad? , out the fool.
I can't mate - out of respect for Tad - I'm sure he wouldn't want me to. The thing is if the bloke had of unloaded on me (or you or plenty of others) like he did on Tad I would have torn him a new one - but Tad is the sort of big hearted fella that probably thinks he may have actually done something to deserve the diatribe he copped (he didn't).
I mean who the f*ck would unload on Tad? It would be like giving it with both barrels to Sluggy - it's not acceptable. I think Tad posted in reply; "I'm sorry (member name), I don't know what to say to that" and that was it.
Really hope he makes it back here and shares in what looks to be a great season with the rest of us :)
It truly saddens me that someone like Tad feels like he can't continue on this site, actually I t pisses me off that someone had driven one of the site legends away. There isn't too many , if any, members on this site that have been here longer than me, since 08, I have seen and heard everything and everyone one on this site and I can state without a doubt Tad is a site legend. I don't agree with a lot of his views but damn if he doesn't make you question your own beliefs. He needs to come back , end of story, make it happen.

Well said HKF I really hope he comes back
thats really sad to hear kram
Kman i think it would be a sin if you don't let everyone know who caused Tad to leave ?
I can't Fongy. I don't know - they may have privately apologised to Taddy and if they were man enough to do that all good - we all make errors of judgement. But if they didn't they're a c*nt.
I'll leave it at that - they know who they are and I don't really know if anything transpired between Tad and this person after they left.
Think I'll go and listen to Mick and the boys doing "Living In A ghost Town". How good is that?
Thanks, Krams. You're a top guy. I told him a lot of people miss him on here, that there was even a blog on him, and he was a bit surprised: "really?," he added. But, he's really happy and has a lot more time with family and loved ones, now...so that's a win.
That's true HoE - as long as he's not carrying any baggage that he doesn't deserve..
