My wife's favourite genre of literature is paranormal erotica. Just read this to Mrs Hermit. Her response, "What "shifter sex", oh yeah, I'm all over that." |

My wife's favourite genre of literature is paranormal erotica. Just read this to Mrs Hermit. Her response, "What "shifter sex", oh yeah, I'm all over that." I need to start writing that sort of stuff, for all the now middle-aged former Buffy fans. "Mildred once went for a drive on a tractor while visiting her cousin Bonnie at the farm. Little did Mildred know, the tractor had explicit desires... Returning to the barn, the tractor transformed into Doryan, his taut abs highlighted by the throbbing shafts of light penetrating the tight door of the barn. 'A tractor? I barely know 'er' he says while winking to his best friend Lucian, who is a shovel." |

Not to bang this drum again - he says, picking up his drumsticks - but it has been a couple of weeks since Danno graced us with his presence. Has anyone heard from him? Do we at least know that he's okay (-ish)?

Jambowayoh Same. I sent a message via PSN last week, in case he was taking a break from the forum, but didn't get a reply there either.

Danno if you’re reading this mate, please consider just DM’ing somebody you trust here to say A-OK (or not) - I don’t expect it would be me - but I know first hand that it can feel very awkward to wade back in publicly. If you are reading, you know you are missed. x

If I were Danno, I’d likely have fucked the forum off after reading some appalling stuff that was posted in one of the other threads. This is the same forum that's incredibly supportive of both him and others. A couple of silly comments shouldn't take away from that. |

I’ve specifically referenced that to try to contrast it in the very next sentence (‘help drive’ - apologies if poorly communicated). Anyway, it was objectively silly behaviour and I don’t think you were involved in that anyway. I am also quite old and experienced enough to understand sometimes things are intended as bants but this was simply not the time or topic. It’s the last I will be saying on the topic and do not want to be drawn into arguing, although I don’t think that’s your intent. |

As tasteless as it was, it's important to remember that not everyone reads every thread and therefore we can't presume everyone is aware of the full facts and history behind every comment. Danno has been open about his struggles at times yet it's not a given that those who were in the dating thread were necessarily aware of that and therefore didn't necessarily view the sequence of events that danno posted about with the gravity they deserved, particularly as he seemed to be in quite high spirits in the thread. Not excusing anything here, just providing another perspective, as I also don't think it's helpful to start finger pointing and attributing blame to anyone. Danno - If you're here but just lurking, that's totally cool. Just give one of us a shout when you can man, just to reassure us. |

wuntyI understand that and it’s put fairly. I was cross with it all at the time, but do not like conflict so just clicked ‘like’ here and there like a p*ssy - clearly I shouldn’t have stewed on it. If I’d waded in with a joke like that and it was pointed out it would be deleted with an apology. I’m sorry, I’ll just delete the post on here, problem is it’s been quoted and responded to now so that’s that. Again, I should stood by my convictions earlier on but even online conflict stresses me out. I still think there are topics which whether they are exempt from jokes or not should probably have consideration of timing at the very least applied to them. Apologies if I’ve taken things too far but I don’t apologise for thinking it was bad behaviour.

Don't apologise at all man. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having discourse on it and we're not saying that you had no justifaction in posting what you have. I can fully understand that the comment in the dating thread was the wrong thing to type, but it's more that as part of being on a public internet forum, it's another reminder that people will type things that we do not agree with but it's important to understand the context and intent behind the post. In this case I genuinely don't believe there was any ill intent to it and was a simple case of not realising the ramifications of typing something like that. I just feel it's better to move on from that particular subject.
Ultimately what we need to remember is that as much as we have concerns about people, and as supportive as we are, this is not the place to solely visit if you genuinely need help. Danno is aware of the channels available to him and I just hope that if he is in a bad way just now, that he is making sure to use these channels and speak to the correct people. He knows we are here should he need to reach out, and he knows there's a listening ear, and who is offering one. However if he's not willing to do that, that's absolutely fine and is his perogative, so long as he is looking after himself and contacts a professional if he needs to.

I don't think anyone needs to delete anything, and I'll say again, I'm firmly on yours and drakes side. Just feel it important to offer a different perspective but I know it doesn't always help, or is needed.

Really wish there was a way to get in touch with him outside of messages here and on PSN as he's not responded on either (a fair few days ago now). Really concerned for him.

Last thread I saw him in was the dating thread. And there was nothing there that was concerning.

I do agree that there should be a way to connect outside the forum, an emergency button in case it ever goes down so to speak
I was going to set up a fontgeek Twitter but amazingly the handle has already been taken
