I've been around here for a long time, lots of lurking, not a ton of posting. I remember seeing some of Joel's posts around here. He had a dark sense of humor that I certainly appreciated. Poor guy got a raw deal in life, I can't imagine how hard it was to be him. I don't live in Calgary so I never met him in person but love seeing what everyone wrote here.
I took a couple of hours and read the entire van thread, honestly I hadn't looked at it when it was actually happening. Had I seen it, I would've gladly donated to the cause and not had a second thought about it, and maybe even donated more just to spite some of those that were giving him a hard time. Whomever made the donation with the "thunderc*nt" comment, you're a damn hero!
I looked at the very last post in the thread and thought "fotze2 is a GIANT a**hole". I realize now that it was some dark sarcasm/humor there (again I do appreciate it) which is why I quoted your post here from page 2.
RIP Flames_Gimp (Joel), I really do hope that you are dealt a better hand wherever we all end up after we leave this earth......

Met him once. It was very awkward because I frankly have never known a disabled dude like that. Do I hug you, wipe your ass?
We PM'd lots. Goddamn.
He was not polarizing, he was awesome an unique. Virtue signaling posters thought he was polarizing. He had a unique view of the world shaped through his experience of living a traumatic and extremely difficult life. He's like 'I had a heart attack last week'. Posters couldn't understand he had a different lens to the world? And not appreciate it and learn from it.
I want more unique fataed up people in my life, not less.
His best line will forever be "You win some you luge some" when that luger died. Beautiful. Pretty sure he got suspended for that because that is a good call mods.
