The lack of activity in the Doctor Who topic over three specials made me realise we haven't seen him in a month. Granted that's not that long but... do we know anything? Is he taking a sabbatical, left us, unknown?

I think (and this is just conjecture that following the Israel/Palestine thread he was quite deflated. I don't have contact details for him outside this forum so I don't know if he's active elsewhere. I was thinking the same thing the other day because I've not seen him pop up recently. Hadn't realised it was a month though.

I did pass him my number previously so if he needs to reach out he can do.

QuickTidal, stop flooding this thread with this stuff. Objecting to each individual thing with a post is going to eat so much time and attention.

Yes, there's phenomenal amounts of BS being pumped out. You responding to each piece of it is going to lead to burnout and exhaustion in me at least.


Noted. Thanks Amph.

Deleted all the recent posts with articles and otherwise. Was not trying to cause any burnout in people here. Was just trying to speak up for the relatively voiceless civilians in Gaza, but perhaps I'm not going about it right.



14 November. So it's been 30 days.

I know we all supported QTs enthusiasm for championing the voiceless. Even those who were somewhat jaded at the time.

Someone slag off a shit movie he likes - he will feel the mobilising call in his soul and come back!

It is, but pushing buttons of rage to bring a person back seems like not the brightest idea.

Nor was the entirety of LotR to be honest though.

Okay, now you guys are just pushing my buttons. I need QT back so we can double-stamp on you.



Anyway, hopefully he doesn't feel himself pushed away forever. That would be a shame.

I have messaged him but not had a response. I assumed he would get an email notification like I do but maybe he's ignoring it.

I think email notifications for PMs are broken (or, at least, have recently been broken)?

He's probably having an e-detox. Information saturation is bad enough when times are good.

Confirmed sighting over on reddit:

" Abyss, even when you venture away from the Malazan forums, it's easy to spot you. ;)

I know they asked about me. Tell the forum that I'm okay, I just decided that my mental health was not worth arguing for so long about that particular topic and it made me realize I was not managing said mental health well, so I changed my password and didn't pay attention to the random one it spat out so that I could not get back into my account. It's not you guys, I was just drained. I can't see I'll be back. Tell everyone I'll miss them. "

Ah that's a shame but the right decision all things considered. I hope he's doing ok and it's able to return soon.
