Hope you're doin' OK Tad :)

Posted by Kramerica on May 19, 2020 at 5:00pm in Current Affairs

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 :)

    I'd like to echo those sentiments Kramer.

    I've always enjoyed Tads input to the site, and even though like you I didn't always agree with his views, he was always thoughtful and respected others views.

    If you're out there Tad, come back mate, we miss you!

    Well said Kram, and agree on that. Hope Tad is ok..

    Top blog mate, Tads a great guy with a kind heart, hope hes ok and not gone for good.

    Does anybody have any contact details for him?

    Come back Tad!

    • Hell On Eels > Snakey - Sack Dylan Brown May 19, 2020 at 9:19pm

      Snakey, I've contacted him. You're right, he's a great guy, mate. As are you.

  • Hell On Eels May 19, 2020 at 9:17pm

    Great blog, Krams. I'm a big fan of TAD, and you're right he's a wonderful person. He has always had my respect. A wise, gentle and creative soul. I've sent him a message outside the site, and I'll let you know what happens.

        Thanks Mick, TAD's a top bloke. Really glad so many have realised this. I can't praise the guy enough.

  • Kramerica May 19, 2020 at 10:52pm

    Jeez you're a good bunch of blokes - hand on heart - all of you :)

    HoE and Pop, if you manage to make contact with Tad let kim know he belongs here, with us (I know you will).

    Cheers lads - fucking legends!

  • Bourbon Man May 19, 2020 at 11:16pm

    I'll throw my hat in the ring too! 

    Come back Tad! I can't fight all these right wing lunatics on my own ;-)

  • Prof. Daz May 20, 2020 at 9:14am

    Come back, Tad. We all miss you. Even Snake's tiny little heart burns for you. 

  • Eric The 17.78cm Eel May 20, 2020 at 3:29pm

    Come back Tad, your open & honest posts are always appreciated, especially by Snake.

    Here is Snakey at the re-opening of his local pool. Just like you Tad he believes in honesty.5184372068?profile=RESIZE_930x
