Yes - I did some sleuthing on him years ago when he wasn’t posting anymore and found his Obit. Can’t remember how old he was when he passed. I believe he was in Oklahoma.

I'd say for my first 3 weeks here - Skip, Brian, Mer and Brock made my life hell - I'm glad to say that I was able to become friends w/ pretty much all of them. Brock and I ended up doing ok, not besties but civil for the most part. I saw Brock post the other day which was very cool.

I believe it was his "shtick". Very few posters back then, acted here like IRL. Iowanian had overzealous, vulgar attacks (Which I found hilarious), Skip had his attacks on n00bs and rants about Direct TV... redrum had PM's of mass destruction (usually regarding your Mom)....etc. I think there are many more "real" personalities now. And some are still a bit over the top, yet awesome.
Like the warning sez, ya gotta have thick skin. |

That's like saying Mahomes is a somewhat decent quarterback.
Skip hated me and I hated him right back. While that may have had its origins in the whole MU/KU thing, which of course was far nastier back then than it is now, my biggest problem with him was his constantly shoving his precious, yet obviously useless degree down everybody's throats. Anybody who didn't have one was a mindless serf in Skip's world. Yet he used his to further a career in bolting satellite dishes to their homes. And it really seemed to irritate him when I mentioned that. |
