Where's Longgrain?

[lumberingbear]

Haven't seen him around lately. Hope everything is OK with him!

[ghostsofgiants]

1. He was banned if I'm not mistaken

No idea why though.

[amazona]

33. WHAT????

Naw. This is a gag, right???

[asthmaticeog]

2. tombstoned.

[lumberingbear]

3. Wow, that surprises me.

Thanks for the info tho.

[elshiva]

29. WTF? WHY???

I loved LG! :cry:

[Ophelia Rising]

34. Awwww....

I was just wondering about him becasue he hasn't posted in awhile......the artist group won't be the same! :(

[gmoney]

4. He was banned so he could...

...stop spending so much time on DU and finish "Chinese Democracy" already!

[lumberingbear]

5. Ok, glad he's ok!

[crispini]

6. What's "Chinese Democracy"?

:shrug:

[gmoney]

8. it's the 10-year overdue Guns & Roses album

Reference to Longgrain's passing resemblance to Axl Rose...

Not sure why he got tombstoned. Trust he's OK.

[asthmaticeog]

7. Niiiiiiiiiice!

[lady lib]

9. I was just wondering about him yesterday.

Can't imagine him getting tombstoned though. Bye Longgrain.

[FizzFuzz]

11. holy crap! I'm really surprised.

Well, I didn't get to know him, but certainly saw him around. Very nice guy, seemed to me.

Huh, I just thought of him the other day too, when I bought some long grain rice! Seriously!

huh. surprising.

[SmokingJacket]

12. That's weird.

Seemed like an innocuous guy.

:shrug:

Then again, I miss all the wild stuff.

[Left Is Write]

13. Where was I when this happened? How did I miss that?

[tyedyeto]

14. Anyone know why?

:shrug:

(Whispers: PM if you have to)

[redsoxliberal]

15. me too

[amazona]

35. s**** PM me three

Can't believe LG was tombstoned unless he requested it to give himself more time for his art?

Why do I even go out of town, i miss everything!!!!

Longgrain, come home!

[Shell Beau]

38. What happened?

I was wondering too. Didn't notice he was gone until I read this post, and then I noticed that I haven't heard from him either. PM if you have the info.

[El Fuego]

16. I hope admins will let Longgrain come back.

[Wapsie B]

17. I saw that he had been ts'd

but no one's ever said why. Couldn't be from any of his posts.

[Lady President]

18. Really? How odd.

I'm mainly a lurker, so I don't know Longgrain except for what I've read, but he was one of my favorites. It's seems strange that he would be tombstoned because he seemed like such a gentle soul. I hope he's well. I'll miss his lady in red. :(

[steely]

19. ditto

[Blue_In_AK]

20. I miss Longgrain, too

I can't imagine him getting tombstoned. Doesn't seem in character.

[Redstone]

21. The Granite Chiclet writes, and

having written, moves on...

[blue neen]

22. Redstone, how are you doing?

Have you seen the new pain specialist yet?

[Redstone]

23. Yes, and it's working out pretty well,

though the first few weeks of opioid therapy is a bit unsettling while the old body adjusts to it.

But it's progress toward a more livable life, and therefore a damn small price to pay.

Thank you so much for asking. It's so good to have people who care.

24. CaliforniaPeggy said he was all right last time she checked in with him

[LibraLiz1973]

25. I am shocked!

why would they tombstone such a nice guy?
:wow::scared::thumbsdown::hide:

That really sucks

[deadparrot]

26. Bizarre.

I don't remember anything, either.

[libodem]

27. I hope he can come back

maybe it will be a badge of honor someday. Things were very weird over the cliques and stuff. I'd noticed he wasn't around but didn't post, glad someone did.

[RagingInMiami]

28. I also liked Longgrain and I was surpised he got the ax

[Blue_In_AK]

30. I'll miss him in photo group

:cry:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. Hi everybody! CaliforniaPeggy checking in...

Anyone wanting to hear about Longgrain, please PM me...


:hi:

[redqueen]

46. .

Doh

[amazona]

32. oh he'll be fine

I've been out of town for awhile but he left a couple posts asking if we'd miss him while he was gone, and I take that to mean he was going to do some traveling. I bet we'll be seeing the ol' artwork around sometime soon.

On edit-- obviously I wrote this not knowing about the TS. I hope it is all some mistake. :-(

[El Fuego]

36. Will the last person left in the Lounge please turn off the lights.

[Maddy McCall]

37. He was tombstoned for a pretty good reason.

And, I doubt that admins will let him back anytime soon.

I don't know the whole story, but I know enough to know that admin made the right decision.

I'm not going to PM people about why he was tombstoned, because I made a promise to the others involved that I wouldn't.

[LynzM]

39. I agree, MM

The reason was good. I don't know a lot of details either, but enough to know that the decision was sound.

[StopTheMorans]

41. well-stated

:thumbsup:

[progmom]

40. yep

thanks for speaking up.

[Misunderestimator]

42. Yes...

you're right.

[DS1]

43. Like Skinner said in the thread the last time this came up

quoting from memory "Longgrain was banned and if he has any sense at all he knows exactly why we did it"

[Maddy McCall]

44. Yeah, and that's not a good indication...

that he'll ever be allowed back.

[El Fuego]

45. He said

"Unless he's clueless, Longgrain knows why his account was shut off."

When I read that, I thought that maybe what he did wasn't all that bad, if you could call it mere "cluelessness."
