Goodbye, Animal. He was a true gentleman.

I remember Ray from his start here, he would close by telling members to "Be bleeping safe".
My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. You are missed Ray.
Family and loved ones will always be a priority in my daily life. You never know when one will leave you.

Forgive me for being late but I couldn't not say something as well.
Animal was wonderful & kind & funny. In our exchanges - both in the Forums and via PMs - he was always helpful, polite and good for a chuckle.
At one point, he & I decided that my sweet wife would henceforth be known as 'Ms. Smarty Pants' (based on something I posted) and both she and I loved it.
His was a presence that will surely be missed here.
And yeah, I'm crying.

Hi there,
Sorry to hear the news. I got wind of it via a forum user's signature message. When l saw it, l was greatly saddened.
I actually knew Animal from a spell l had on this forum a few years back (l had an issue with a self-build PC, and it developed to full blown ennui / weltangst / schadenfreud / kopfschmerzen etc. - btw l cba rescuing my old login credentials, that's why l'm on a new name, nothing bad).
I was fortunate in that l clashed with him a few times, including a nervy face/off in PM. That taught me what kind of a person he really was, and l was impressed, truly!
You say he passed suddenly ... Please may l ask: does anybody have info on the circumstances of his passing? Also was he middle aged? Old?

ME: What you going to do if you find your own daughter in the brothel
NickAu: if need be will fight anyone to the death for that right. To me that is a god given right.
Its called freedom of choice.
NickAu [backtracking]: As I never use brothels,
NickAu: ... she is an adult and there would be nothing I could do other than offer support ... shes still free to do what she wants.
... A lot of collage girls are using prostitution and porn as a way through collage without knowing the damage they are doing to their future and I consider porn prostitution, now here's something you may find strange I guess. In most place in the USA it is illegal to pay a consenting over 18 male or female for sex unless there is a third person in the room filming it
IT'S NOT NORMAL, NICK. IT'S NOT NORMAL.

To my knowledge, no one has any information regarding the circumstances of his passing. It was incredibly unexpected and sudden, and he was far too young for this to have been expected in any way.
