Best Of

I'm very sorry to hear this. @pawz was, as Derek said, an OG and we've been trading barbs and observations for years.

A few things to say about pawz:

1. Consistently reasonable and never treated anybody here badly. A gentlemen with his own opinions.
2. He always backed me when I got out over my skis and was getting pounded by the mob.
3. He was intellectually curious, humble and secure enough in himself to learn from other people and not pretend he knew everything. No posing with pawz.
4. Politically represented the just to the right of center, center. We need more of this. Pawz had his views, but if something were being discussed he didn't run it through his party filter first to tell him how to conclude about it. IOW, a man with the requisite intellect to be discerning and not some dip shit political sloganeer. An increasingly rare commodity today. I really respected him for this trait.
5. One of the dudes I would have liked to have met and hung out with were it not for my standing policy.

Rest in peace Pawz. I'm very sorry you had to go so young and in that way. You really were an OG, a gentlemen, and a real Husky. Also the owner of my favorite jif signature of all tim.

Fair winds and following seas my internet Husky friend.

Creep

He downvoted and chastised me a month or two ago for shitpoasting, probably after I had strung together several drunk shitposts and he'd had enough.

He was right to call me out. Bummer to know he was going through hell at the tim.

Rip

He reached out twice to hang out, as recently as last month even, and both times when he couldn't, it smelled like something shitty like this.

RIP. I'll miss talking DAWGS and politics with ya, Pawz.
