been missing for quite a while.

I PM'd him when Wheel died but he didn't reply...not that we were best buds or anything but we had more than a few civil conversations over the years.

We texted in March. Looks like last activity was late Jan

RIP TMCTLT

I hope the hell not. The place wouldn't be the same without Paul causing a fuss. 🌫

in my noobness i witnessed an ongoing "debate" between him and i cant remember who else that seems to coincide with that last activity

wasnt the most civil of debates if i recall correctly

😞

he had a few people that drove him to distraction, most recently Tonygraz and Banderl, who has also walked away for now at least ...
it did make for some good reading but would eventually kill threads

seems like a very generous guy, read a lot over the years about people enjoying his company. Loved capital letters randomly dispersed...

I'm extremely proud to say TMCTLT is my vet. They just don't come any finer. While we never met in person, Paul is a fine craftsman, BOTL, husband, father and friend to the core......not a mean bone is his body and would give you the shirt off his back.
Some boneheads here seemed to enjoy throwing darts at him and his beautifully handcrafted wooden ashtrays. Paul takes great pride in all he does. About the only thing I know of that really pissed him off was people questioning his character and/or the quality of his workmanship. I have absolutely no idea why. REALLY Pissed me off too. I wanted to rip a new a-holes for the few guys poking him. We had several discussions about the total lack of class from a small handful of members here. Friendly joking around is fun. This was just mean spirited. It only takes a few bad apples. His low tolerance for that kind of BS is one of the things we had in common. Paul is all about the brotherhood......sharing information and treating other members, both new and old timers with dignity and respect.

I've been wondering where he's been. I miss his presence here. He was a true asset to the C-Bid community and I sincerely hope he returns soon.

Perhaps I'll ring him up to say hello.

LOL
