Doesn’t Ambivalid also have a SO who posts here? If so, she’s been here but he’s had other things going on in recent weeks or months.

+1; I got to meet and hang out with **Ginger of the North** back in 2006. Took a road trip up with her to Canada, and made the trip to [Vulcan, AB](https://townofvulcan.ca/).

And @SwimmingRiddles. She had a wit that was unmatched.

Me neither. But if there’s a thread on who you wish didn’t make it over here I’m sure my name would come up a lot.

Funny, I kind of miss Charlie Wayne. Maybe a general amnesty could be declared. The true a-holes would just get themselves banned again.

Why? he was never abusive. So many interesting posters have been banned. So many banal posters remain.

I believe it was spelled **Collounsbury**. Either way, he was an interesting one. If I recall correctly, he was some sort of expert on the Middle East, its countries’ politics, culture, religion, and so on; and could offer an informed point of view on those topics. Problem was (again, as I recall), that he wasn’t always the most diplomatic of posters when it came to refuting positions that other posters held–some of his responses in GD and IMHO were more appropriate for the Pit. It didn’t help that he was posting in the early 2000s, post 9/11. He was warned, then banned; then after an appeal, came back, when he fell back into his old habits, and was banned again.

Although I ended up on the other side of his ire once, I have found myself missing him also. I’m sure he would have been informative when the world went through the Arab Spring, the rise of ISIS, and so on.

A few more that I’m missing: **Northern Piper** and **Muffin**. I don’t seem to recall them posting since the changeover.

Actually, no, I [looked it up](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-posters-marked-as-system/917212) and my spelling is correct\*. But yes, he seem to have quite deep domain knowledge in the middle east, and it was fascinating the discussions he’d jump into. But, yes, little restraint, though it was quite something to watch him go after someone on a factual basis, when he kept his impulses in check and kept it sorta professional.

\*Well, that or the Mod was misspelling his name, since his old account is ‘vaporized’.

Calling @Northern_Piper … who will likely apologise for not making himself better known.
