Is he still around, does anyone know?

Also very active on FB.
He posted this yesterday:
Link to videoJust watch the first 2 minutes...
I watched the entire video. Wow. That is scary stuff, and that poor woman. If it were not so tragic, I'd say make a movie out of it, one of those "based upon actual events" movies. Can't help but feel so sorry for that brave woman. It's angering. She was murdered, and nobody gave a damn, especially the media and "journalists."
Anyway. . . why doesn't David Burton join us again? Maybe someone could invite him to come over for a visit. He always had a unique perspective on big issues attributed to "the barge" but as I recall, he was often right, or at least difficult for anyone to prove him wrong.
Because there are assholes that ganged up and hounded him until he shook the dust of this place off of his feet.
Pity. I liked David.
-
I don't recall any group ganging up on him. One poster referred to him as a kook over a post he made referencing his borderline anti Semitic barge conspiracy theory. Burton then responded by first having the late apple, a moderator at the time, delete all his posts and then leaving in a fanfare of paranoiac fury.

I recall he left after Kenny objected to him calling AIDS a disease of homosexuals.
No, that was one of the reasons Kenny left. DB left as AC described.
'Assholes ganged up on him' - seriously, Jolly? It was me and one other poster, who I would say is anything but an asshole.
-
The only time a gang of assholes ganged up and drove anybody away was the case of the illustrious Mr. Cosmored. A seeker of truth beyond compare.

Truth hurts, I guess. It can infect anybody, but it is more prevalent among gays and bisexual males, especially at that time.

Seriously.
But it wasn't just you, it was a small cadre. People don't mind arguing passionately, but few people can take a barrage from several people. Especially when it's constant.

Jolly is confusing him with Kathy K.
DB left after bachophile noted the antisemitic undertones of one of his posts.

Kathy is an exception. She is an idiot.

Right, and you right wing chaps never, ever do that to anybody, unless of course they fully deserve it, in which case it's perfectly OK.
If someone is going to post enormously controversial claims, and also state that they have inner sources providing secret information on the outcomes of 2008 elections, for example, then they need to be able to withstand a bit of ribbing, particularly when these anonymous sources are shown to be completely wrong in their predictions.

jon's friend. Jon liked her new boyfriend, he posted that he's a cool guy.
-
I did, and he is. That reminds me I still have her pie pan from the dessert she brought.

Here’s the thread where DB self-immolated. He edited out his posts but Bach quoted much of it on p4.
It goes on for 23 pages. I only skimmed the first 5. There might be more of it quoted.

I remember one of his defenses in that post was that some of his best friends are Jewish.

Can you please tell us about him? I'm curious. Kathy was abused as a child, obviously, so she is horribly damaged goods. Why would a cool guy get involved with that? Jack regretted it. Is Jack your friend also?

Both Kathy and Jack are friends of mine on facebook - really sad I never made it down to that part of Maine to meet either one of them IRL when we lived on the edge of the universe (in northern Maine). Fond memories of some of the funnier threads on the original coffee room - like when Improv and Plays met them both (before anybody knew who Improv was). And when Jack finally spilled the beans that he was married to Kathy. Long time ago, before everything blew up and the piano forum members all siloed, many moved on, some died, and others divorced. Man have we all been through a lot together.
