Sadly, MacP died at the start of the summer, after an illness.
If you check the scs archive in Google, you'll find the messages
people posted at the time.

errr...no.... He is buried beneath the ground like all of us will end
up, or a pile of ashes.

Yes, but I fear he was a Comm Unist. (I sunder the word to
negate its malignant aura.)

I didn't know that and I'm very sad to hear it; I thought he was just
another one who got fed up with the shite that saturates SCI these days.

Hardy has already taken to lashes, rashes and sashes as a prelude to
ashes.
My condolences to the family and friends of Michael Paterson - ni

One of the most entertaining writers on Usenet. Will be sadly missed.

One is reminded of the Talleyrand saying, uttered when an
adversary had the effrontery to die, that was "I wonder
what he's plotting..."?

Sorry to hear about Highlander. He always bragged about how able he was,
"for an old dude". He and I had some fun here a few years ago, singing songs
about that brave volunteer, redneck Ray! I had missed him and did wonder
about his health a while back. God bless him

Michael had a wicked tongue and did not suffer fools gladly.
And when the Black Rage was not upon him,. an excellent read.
I for one miss the old fart..........................

I miss him.
I think he'd be highly amused to be the first scs member to achieve 2
tribute threads! One when his death was announced on scs, and once
when sci heard about it.

Only if you've got scones with strawberry jam and cream.

They've got lots of sour grapes. Does that count?

Thank you for that information. I found the thread and read it. I
think he is a very sad loss and that he died too young.
I will never forget his satire on Wotan who pre-deceased him.
RIP, Highlander.
Cory Bhreckan
He left scs under unfortunate circumstances, he got rather brittle but
told no-one here about what he was facing. Now we know he had every
right to be brittle what with his own mortality staring him in the eye.
Ariadne
Something to reflect on and probably not
only in bereavement.
It is good that his daughter was in touch and I
hope his family has come some way to terms
with their loss. It's early days.

I agree with all comments. It didn't matter to me if I agreed with his
specific views, I always felt I was 'on his side' because he had great
humanity, infinite humour, and was a really literate, cultured man,
not to mention that he wrote very well. If he insulted someone I
always felt they should feel complimented.
Does anyone know or has anyone written up any information
about his life? I'm a strong believer in privacy in open forums for
the simple reason that the world is full of nutters, twats, and people
you don't around (that's a sad simple reality), but that can probably
safely be relaxed a bit after death?!
