I assume from that list that they can still get Cake Stop.

Yup, somewhere in a dark Siberian forest, a family live, nay, exist, ignorant of the fact that @rick_chasey has walked.

Flounced, not walked

A slight diversion but..... when did rick chasey leave? I must have missed that but was aware I hadn't seen his posts for a good while.

They’d have been alright if they’d taken advice to be more ambitious and live in London.

Somewhere round September/October time IIRC. Was quite a good flounce.

Thanks.... I don't how I missed that but perhaps it might have been when I was in France. Without diverting this thread too much... what was it about?

It was something quite innocuous in the US Politics/Biden thread about pollsters and the election. Seems like he had other things on his plate judging by the way he acted.

Yeah, I think I might have questioned his unquestioning faith in Nate Silver despite his company being owned by Peter Thiel (ironic that his forecast was OK in the end), and RC insisting that something that had changed hadn't changed at all. Like you say, I think there was other stuff going on, given that RC normally relished a robust debate.
I wonder if he's moved to London yet🤔😜

Thanks Steve and Brian. I sort of guessed it might be something like that.

Perish the thought that a thread might get diverted on CS!

Wow! That got somewhat explosive. I needed plenty of popcorn to read through that.

Sad though I was to see RC flouncer, I am still amused and bemused in equal measure at the actual subject for the departure, given it wasn't personal - the frequent lively discussions talking about his personal circumstances and grievances seemed much more likely to provoke a flounce.
Anyway, let's have a graph explaining everything.

Or we could go over to X and ask him about his views on Boomers, house prices and train services 😇

He's not posted anything on X since about the same time.

Trying! - at the airport now. Don't like getting up at stupid o'clock for holiday trips. Although looks like we'll be headed straight out for food n beer on arrival: always good to carb load before exercise, right?

Not to labour a point, but he didn't seem to have a healthy relationship with his social media. So it's our loss from an entertainment perspective, but probably not a bad thing overall.

One of my last pieces of advice to him was to do exactly this as he admitted he wasn't in a good place.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Where are you headed to @Stevo_666 ?

To be fair, although he usually gave as good as he got, the flounce episode was well out of character in its directness from him, so I think it was good advice. The only worry is now, as he was the CS lightning conductor for bad luck, will one of the remaining posters become Mr Unlucky?

Should be Courchevel to bring it back on topic.

I hope he is ok. Like most I disagreed on some topics and agreed on others.
I think this was a fairly safe place for him to vent tho’.

He admitted that he tried out arguments here that he wouldn't have elsewhere, almost as an intellectual exercise, so it was curious that he took that one so personally. He rather created a rod for his own back by the forum persona he had created here.

I had empathy with Rick. I know what it's like with you lot when you're simply trying to stick up for space reusable excellence.
To be fair though Nate Silver (US election poker playing pollster) was more like sparkler and a wet one at that.

Do you think it was a persona? Inthink there was a step change when he had a good year or so professionally. I don't know if it was work pressure leaking out, or a rampant ego, or a bit of both.
