As I understand it, one night a few months ago he got more rude than usual and called someone’s wife a real nasty name, and he hasn’t been seen since.
I could be wrong. He either got banned or just quit. I don’t know if he’s off planet or still here.
Heck, I reported him once to the Admin and I liked the guy in a general kind of way.
Wherever he is, I hope he’s well and doing better than it seemed he was doing. Frankly, I always suspected “Humblegunner” was an alter-ego for another FReeper.
We have several of those, unfortunately.
Hard to unmask them, but HG was/is one of the nastiest I've seen in my 20 something years here.
He is still here, probably lurking.
I suspect he was alcoholic, possibly suffered some sort of personal tragedy and is nursing a massively bruised ego while we speak.
I have no doubt we'll hear from him again.
In one iteration or another.
