RangersMedia 35,961 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 This is terribly sad news. I didn't know Manticore personally but had many exchanges with him on here - one of the very few posters I enjoyed reading. I recall when I was new on the board and we got stuck into each other in the Israel/Palestine thread, his passion and intelligence shone through as it consistently has in every Debating Chamber thread he entered.RIP Manticore.

eastcoastbear 122 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 It was WVB who broke the news to me ECB. I deliberated about the appropriateness of posting anything in the event it may cause some upset, perhaps to family.However there is a thread on another forum so it seems to be in the public domain.I laugh when I think back to those old days - Myself, Minstral, WVB Manti and others constantly arguing with that Bauba guy - and admin at that time refusing to accept he was an interloper.Eventually the roaster outed himself during the Scottish Cup Final against QOS much to our amusement and a massive "Told you so ! " to admin.Sleep well brother.Aye, I remember those times well. Bauba and Patrese, pair of clowns.Still can't believe it bro. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Custer 516 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'm really taken aback by this sad news.

tannerall 25,935 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 The forum has lost a good and intelligent poster. And from the references above sounds like the world has lost a great bloke.RIP "Mantidore" Derek. Nice touch with the wreath Admin, was probably the sort of guy who would have loved that.
