Because a certain member seems bent on being unreasonable about this, I'm starting a thread. I apologize to those who didn't want me to start a thread. I really am.

Double-J was my friend since high school. We were both in Model United Nations together and that's how I really got to know the guy.



Recently, JJ was hospitalized. He logged on to the BB as a way to relax and have fun. I visited him a few times and he always had good things to say about everyone.

I miss my friend

Are you saying that Double-J died?

I'm sorry I can't really talk about it right now, its so upsetting. I was just afraid people wouldn't take it seriously and mock it all out. It hurts really bad to lose a friend, especially so young. Its like having part of you torn down

MJ,

You've already opened the door. Please let us know if DJ is ok. You've implied the worse in all your remarks and it really isn't fair to let it drop now. I, for one (as I know the others here as well) am really concerned about the implications you've made regarding DJ. Can you just breifly lay it on the line please??


TIS

Mad Johnny,

While the BB has seen its share of ups and downs, debates, arguments, and out-and-out verbal brawls, nobody here wishes any harm to befall any member.

So, I hope you will please explain what this is all about.

Signor V.

This sounds serious.

MJ, when can you give any further explanations?
I'd really like to know what is happening with DJ.

I think we would all like to know whats going on...Hope everything is OK

If he has died, please tell us. If not, this is not particularly funny.

It's good to finally put a face to a name, Mad Johnny.

If JJ were GOD FORBID, dead, then there woud be no reason to hold back that kind of news.

If he were GOD forbid fighting a disease or a sickness, then I coud understand holding something like that back.

But it does not make sense that someone would hold back news on the death of a member of these boards.

That is why I believe that this is all a hoax on Mad Johnny's part.

And for JJ sake, I hope that it is.

If you can't talk about it,then why post this message and not reply to anyone,everybody is obviosley worried...

Agreed DC, but for MJ's sake, if it is a hoax it is not a good thing. He opened the door here, and if there is some illness that is best kept quiet, he can just say he is seriously ill and leave it there. Plaw's decline and death was only known by a very few members for a very long time, and he was positing right up until the end.

Double J, dead or alive, if you can somehow read this, I think you'll like to hear what Father Torque has to say about you:

Father Torque: Life... Was a game to him... And he played it... By his own rules. He was a mystery to most of us... And yet an inspiration to us all. He gave us FREEDOM. He gave us POWER. He gave us WINGS. He gave us WHEELS. Thank you, JJ Corley... For giving us a DREAM that will never die...

MJ,

How in the hell can you drop a bomb shell like this and not follow through like this? You are not the only friend DJ has. Me and DJ talk pretty regular off the BB. If this is just a hoax you are playing on us DJ's friends just because you are mad that the both of you got banned for a few days, then (Mod's if I get a vacation then so be it) you are cruel, sick bastard who deserves to be banned forever.

Doesn't this sound like our dear friend Paul? MJ, you could have come up with something other than that

Don't worry, Miggy... if that's the case, he is, and will be.

But until we know for sure what's going on, DJ will be in my prayers. In the meantime, I'm going to remove the "RIP" from his signature until I (God forbid!) see proof...

Man, there is no love in this thread either. What is the matter with people today? No one wanted the long weekend to end, is that what it is.

Why does everyone let MadJohnny pull their chain?

People are yelling at him and he hasn't been on to post all day. Look at the last post register for his name. Last post was early this morning.
Why is everyone beating themselves up to a frenzy? Because of what MadJohnny is rambling about?
Did SC or Geoff lift D-J's ban?
Maybe he isn't going to post anymore after what happened.

Let us just wait and see what this is all about before we get a rope and have ourselves a hanging.

Its pretty disconcerting when one member (especially being a personal friend of another member to whom he's referring) alludes to the fact that another member has died.

As for the timing of the replies - this is a message board; its not a chatroom. You post your thoughts when you have them, not when you think someone will be able to reply to them.

FWIW - Double-J's suspension was lifted in the wee hours of Friday morning... the same time as Mad Johnny's.

Yes, you are right. We post our thoughts when we can. It just seems like the posts are getting more and more irate as you go down the page, with MIGs getting darn right insulting to the thread starter.
It seems like people have gotten a whole lot more irrational these days. Why the hostility you just have to ask yourself?
Hell, we have Mr Sixer and a whole lot worst posters before.

I guess you have to consider the source of the post BEFORE you get upset at times.

Who's irate and upset?? Miggie said IF...

We're just curious as to what happened. I won't be irate unless this turns out to be a hoax, and then I'd go ballistic. But until then, I'm calm as a clam. And I wish D-J well.

But FWIW, when have you ever "showed the love" in your entire existence here?

Oh, That is cold...... Maybe that is why I don't PM you with love. You are just not my type.

I'll have to remember- "IF" It seems to be a great little word when it needs to be.

Yes I did insult MJ if this is just a hoax. And I told the mod's to ban me if they wanted to.

Three posts of your thoughts in this topic already, and we don't even know if the guy is really dead.

Yet not a peep over in the other topic giving tribute to someone who actually did pass away.


Don Cardi

We will just have to wait until MJ or DJ come back,he might be telling the truth..

What are you saying? fatherson is being disrespectful because he doesn't renew his RIP post every day for Plaw?

Even though DC is more than capable of answering for himself I will simply ask this question: WHAT RIP post?

I recall Fatherson like everyone else posting a RIP post for Plaw, correct me if I'm wrong. If I'm not, what does that thread have to do with this one?

You have just been corrected

That thread has a lot to do with this one and its very easy to see why.

Vercetti -

I think that you should know the facts before making assumptions. You're looking in the wrong direction.

No one said anything about his having to RE-NEW his RIP post everyday.



Don Cardi

So in other words this about who owes who what?
