Concerns.

[Sqad]

I have concerns for the well being of AOG, who has not posted for a time. Not one for publicising his medical problems and seems to be rather a private man, has ANYBODY received any news?
Buenchico and JacktheHat, two other mainstays of AB are also quiet.

[ummmm]

Jack is fine. Just a bit busy with work.

I hope AOG is OK. I do worry a bit.

[Rockrose]

Glad Jack is ok, I though Chris said he was going on a holiday.

[chelle7272]

Yes I wondered about AOG too, glad you posted, hope he's ok.

[wolf63]

AOG hasn't been in touch since the beginning of the year - I really hope that he is okay and watching the battles in News to entertain him.

TWR is also missing.

I don't know about Chris he is probably trying to get the kittens to move so that he can get near the laptop.

I think it was Newjudge who said he was going on holiday for a fortnight.

[ladybirder]

Yes you can add my name to the list of people wondering about AOG. One would expect him to be in touch again before now if his health was improving. Hope we hear from him soon, he's missed.

[Rockrose]

Actually I am thinking of AH - perhaps it was he who said he was going on holiday as an off comment remark, not a whole thread about his holiday

When AOG last posted this is what he said:

//Thank you all so much for your kind concerns, although at times we cross swords with each other it is nice to know that we still belong to a very caring community on AB.

Yes I have not been too well and spent 2 weeks in hospital, but they discharged me on New Years Eve, but it will take a few days before I catch up on things and in the mood to get (to some) my controversial views over.

In the meantime I would like to take this opportunity to wish the Editorial staff, all members on AnswerBank and their families all the very best for 2019.//

I don’t think anyone is in touch with AOG outside AB, and I can’t help thinking he’s unwell.

NewJudge said a few days ago that he was going on holiday for two weeks.

[ladybirder]

He said "a few days" and it's now been five weeks so every reason to be concerned.

[naomi24]

Yes LB.... that's what I thought.

[Mamyalynne]

It is concerning and with no means of contact, we feel helpless.

[Calicogirl]

This is one of the reasons we should have private messaging on the site, people could exchange emails then and have a point of contact outside of the site. Hope AOG is alright x

[ummmm]

Cali - people post throw away email addresses.

[spathiphyllum]

AOG doesn't hit me as the sort who would want people to "slip into his DM's".

[spathiphyllum]

also with private messaging how can Site Rules be enforced?

[Calicogirl]

True Ummm but then you get the 'look at me, look at me ' comments if you post your contact details. I just think if we had private messaging life would be so much simpler. x

[bhg481]

ED has all our email addresses. Is there any way he can be persuaded to contact him?

[spathiphyllum]

I agree to a certain extent. Only if you had to "accept" messaging before it could start. That would keep harassment and abuse to a minimum.

[ummmm]

Cali - I don't know how new you are to this site but there are trolls on here who would happily send nasty PM's.

[spathiphyllum]

They dwell in the dungeon
