Woolshedwargamer Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 I am an old gaming mate of markdoc's from as far back as 1980. Looks like he dropped out of this forum a few years ago. Cheers WWG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 IIRC he received a ban from Dan Simon for a remark on the forums. He may have chosen not to return after it expired. A pity, I really appreciated Markdoc's input. It was usually well-researched and informative. I join with Ragitsu in wishing him happiness and good health.

L. Marcus Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Yes, it was a comment in the then-new politics thread that did him in. I also join in the well-wishing. Ragitsu and Bazza 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja-Bear Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Banned? I would’ve expected him to get a ban. And I too wish him well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woolshedwargamer Posted June 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Ah that makes sense. He was always a bit of a 'well f you too then' even back in the day when we were young. I will try to contact him via where I think he works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sociotard Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 If you find him, let us know what forums he frequents now. I wouldn't mind perusing some of his more recent stuff. Maybe he blogs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come now, I have always been the meekest and mildest of men Anyway, nice to see all the comments - Old Man contacted me and mentioned this thread, so I thought I would post. I wasn't actually banned back in the day, but Simon did give me a warning about making rude comments in a political thread during the last US presidential elections. I didn't think the comment was terribly out of line, to be honest, but these are Simon's boards, and I appreciated the effort he goes to in maintaining them, so rather than giving offence I said I'd bow out during the elections and come back when things were quieter. That was actually the plan buuut ... you know how these things go. By the time the election was over, I had a new job in a new country, and I was busy with all kinds of stuff (work, and being a tourist, mostly). Then there came another international move, and then we bought an old house that we are doing up, and I was active on other sites .... basically, I kept meaning to drop in, but never got around to it. I'm still gaming regularly and carrying on much as before: hope everything is cool with you guys. cheers, Mark assault, Trencher, Enforcer84 and 20 others 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Awesome! Thanks for updating us, Mark. It's good to know your absence has been contributed to by mostly positive things. As you can tell, you've been missed around here. Here's hoping you can visit more than annually in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narratio Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Doing up an old house? That ranges in difficulty from "lunch time sandwich run" through to "National News Breaking Event as Federal and State law enforcement agencies surround headquarters of satanic cultists."

st barbara Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Is hunting the wild Markdoc anything like hunting Snarks ? Does one need to threaten his life with a railway share or can he be charmed with smiles and soap ? The world wonders ! tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
