I have it on good authority that ggw has retired from the forum.

RIP ggw's forum career.

You'd think my presence alone would be enough to inspire him to log on once in awhile and shoot a zinger my way. Alas, I guess I overestimated his hatred for me.

My wife used to insist that he and I HAD to be ex-lovers gone bad because of the seemingly irrational hatred he had for me.

I don't think it was irrational, I think it was contextual and valid based on the 20k plus posts you've done here

And yet among all of those 20K posts, I challenge you to find one where I was mean, insulting, or creepy toward him or his family the way he was toward me.

Of course, his creepiness wasn't only directed toward me. There was the time that he pm'd me to encourage me to mock the disability of a certain biind board member, before his blindness was widely known. That was classy.

You know, I'm not one to agree with Rhett often, but it did always amaze me the sheer percentage of GGW's oeuvre that was snarky and insulting of others and yet he was always viewed – it seemed – as above the fray. Which kind of doesn't make sense.

OTOH, it is a wonderful Julian's America-esque lesson in how having money allows you to live a consequence free life.

U2 Tour Manager Dennis Sheehan

Presumed suicide brought on by having to listen to multiple U2 concerts.  :'(

I was wondering what pushed him over the edge.

The Edge.

Bono had his bike accident. Edge fell off the stage. Larry Mullen Jr.'s father died during dress rehearsals. Former 1989 tour mate B.B King died. And now their tour manager has died.

That's a run of bad luck.  Then again they have homes on the French Riviera.

All of that with such little talent (excluding BB of course), oh well speaks volumes about the music business…
