@gsxrken, I don't know of anyone here that handled words as well as he. There ARE many here that write very well, some quite unique (you know the ones), but Paul had depth that went beyond the words.

I've only been banned once (and it was Paul), not for attacking anyone or any blatant infraction, I was banned for violating a rule that I helped write, that one being the discussion of mods. And he called me on it and dropped me on ban island all the while being a perfect gentleman with fair conviction.

But to say Paul didn't have some swings would not be accurate. I think he was truly fed up with me and used my rule against me. There was restrained disgruntlement followed up with, get this: inquiring if he fully held up his end on a matter or two between us.

Not a hint of retribution. The man was much larger that that. I can't say the same for me.

Yeah, Ken, you pulled up a great set of posts that spoke truly of him. I hope he’s well enough to read all of this. If someone has to leave, they should do so knowing they made a difference. Not singularly profound, but perhaps the most meaningful accomplishments we can achieve in our time here. I’m sure his family recognizes the place he holds at the head of their table. He took the lead guiding rafts and he took the lead in guiding aircraft in war. Then he further took the lead in commanding respect. There aren't very many of these type of men.

We may have known that all along but as a mod he brought it full face.
