Where is Darth Wong?
Hello, I have been out of the forums for a lot of time, and well, I will cut to the cheese. Where is he? I hope he is still alive, I see he hasn't connected to the forums in almost 2 years and I don't know if he has a facebook or twitter account or any other place to reach him.
I need to ask for his permission to translate, slightly edit* and post his essay on Marx on several places (crediting him of course). This would mostly be at private environments but still, it feels wrong to do it without asking first in case it goes out of hand or whatever (highly unlikely).
*basically replace the North American references for ones that anyone anywhere could get better.
Beyond that, I'm kind of worried for him. I hope he is okay.

He's very active on facebook but doesn't have much interest in this forum from what I understand.

Re: Where is Darth Wong?
Locate the SDN group on Facebook and he's on the member list there, IIRC. 'Members of Stardestroyer.net' I believe.
It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way.
Re: Where is Darth Wong?
Dalton is reasonably active here so you could always PM him to pass something like that along, as it's in the vein of an official request.
I have no idea if he even checks this anymore but IIRC it's something real basic like mike-at-star-destroyer-dot-net - again assuming he checks that email anymore.

Re: Where is Darth Wong?
I have mailed him there, about two or three times in the lapse of the last 5 years or so, never got an answer so my guess is he just dont check that email anymore.

Re: Where is Darth Wong?
Thank you Dalton, I already spoke with him and he agreed. The translation was done and as I predicted it did not spread like a wild fire. Thanks for your replies.

Usually in face book jail. But he's out now... for now.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Yeah, he should pick and judge his fights more carefully against US rightwingers.
