I remember Liquid Wind as the guy who yelled at me repeatedly when I was fairly new to the board and decided to run Best OST 1. To be fair, I did have a few noticeable missteps hosting for the first time, but the vehemence and bile he cast upon me was unwarranted.

i apologize if me bringing up liquid wind in your writeup re-catalyzed any bad memories then. i mostly brought him up because him being so enthusiastic about bastion's ost is a really fond early memory of the game/soundtrack, and I like to call attention to when/where a piece of media (especially game music) entered my mind as an introduction to my consciousness. and honestly its one of the memories of that period of board 8 that sticks with me the most fondly, since "being introduced to new soundtracks from vgmc/bost/etc" is so much of what I love about this community and value it for.

i don't want to perpetuate any negative gossip about anyone from the past, but i will say i can understand why he would be someone that someone feels intimidated or hurt by. he had a pretty intense/confrontational personality that unnerved me at times, but i also know that i come across that way to others here with my own behavior sometimes so, i'm maybe a bit more sympathetic to that than it may seem like i'd be.

I remember disagreeing with him a lot, even if i just said in my writeup that [i remember his taste aligning more with mine than others from back then]: this is still true even though i remember disagreeing with him "a lot". but because he was SO intense, strong feelings and vehement about anything he felt, those disagreements stuck out a lot as strong clashes that were strikingly memorable too. like lasa says he remembers him trashing one of lasa's favorites, i remember him trashing many of my favorite things as well BUT...

...in the end, i think of him very fondly for the contributions he brought to the board. especially since he was at times the only one other than me nerding out about random tiny theory/production details, which made me feel less alone; and i thought his taste dived into some pretty neat and interesting areas that are quite to my tastes. So all that really struck a net positive note with me as far as my memory of him goes. i commonly think about how i miss a lot of what he contributed to this community. wondering what he's doing now.

sorry to hear that your interactions with him left less fond memories than they left for me.
