Where’s Chalkpie?

[Plasmatopia]

If he did leave because of that exchange, I think it is definitely blown out of proportions. I searched and read the entire thread and I didn't think you were being abrasive at all. But, we all have different tolerance levels, so who knows -- it may be a number of things that contributed to his exit.

Tell him that some are asking about him…

He's a busy guy. He doesn't frequent FB either. I suspect he just figured PE was one less distraction he didn't need, all things considered.

Someone else will have to pick up the Cardiacs/Mahler/Bartok slack.

Don't forget the yearly Canterbury binge.

Probably Lieto has that covered.

I occasionally trade e-mails with Frankie (Chalkpie). He says he'll be back one of these days. I miss his contributions big time.

[Jerjo]

I see Lino on FB and I doubt if he'll ever be back. Yogi, I don't know. I'd just as soon see the return of Jegheist or JIF as Supp, which means not at all.

I believe he had enough of someone here and split. I even offered to deal with the person in question but he would have none of it. I suspect we wound up on the losing end of this one since he was a really awesome contributor. He may come back someday but don't hold your breath.

And to the person that he had issues with. Nice job! You ran off a great guy and in the end we still have you. Is that fair?

Is this for real? Seriously? Damn it. I guess i need to email Frank and find out what the deal was. That's very disappointing, yeah

He made it sound in a private message that *I* chased him off, which I think was quite an over-reaction to one post I made, honestly.

I can't imagine it would've been such a strong response to anything you said. You are never less than civil, in my experience. And he has a plenty tough skin. It must've been something especially grievous or completely different than we're all thinking

It wasn't a mis-understanding. See the ROXY : THE MOVIE thread.

He wanted me to tell him information I got from a book I bought and read and I said, "No, I won't Spotify or stream it for you", and he got totally bent out of shape. I think he over-reacted big-time, but that's all I said.

Oh. Well, i get why you might say that. It's actually kind of funny.

And everyone knows how excited we all are about the whole "Spotify-cation" thing. If he got very upset over that, well... i'm sorry to hear it.

I remember that post in question. I thought you were right, but the tone *was* a bit gruff.

It's an instant snark maker and Steve is kind of dry in print anyway. But i can imagine it getting toasty in the thread.... hmm.
Still, it seems like a small comment and not an unfriendly or mean one. Just opinions, as usual.

Ha! Nah, you two are pretty much on an even par in my eyes when it comes to stimulating discussions here.

I think I've found something that can throw light on this:

Wow! Chalkpie, a Caridacs brother, departed from the pond. That's a shame. He was very enthusiastic about Cardiacs, having recently discovered them.

[Sean]

Read this thread. He left and came back.

eerr...hello! There are still quite a few of us old and ageing Cardiacs fans here - The Dunno, Loosefish, Nogbad the Bad, At Least 100 Dead, to name just a few.
But Chalky was very into them, as only a Cardiacs newbie can be.

[PeterG]

Read this thread. He left and came back.

Oh right, sorry. That's good news.

[JKL2000]

Meanwhile, TheLoony is still awol.

[robdebank]

I also enjoyed his posts. Where is he now?

[Polypet]

He's around. Just search for him in the posts. He's been posting stuff.

[chalkpie]

Fuck that guy! I wish he was still gone!

[zombywoof]

What's a Chalkpie?

He IS gone, he's real gone!

I am sorry that i have no idea Where’s Chalkpie. When i see this post as guest i notices about this matter. But i did not get the answer for my questioon. I think they are planned to make it as a quest post for easier usage. So that users can interact to whole members.

Agreed.
