Ok so the site had an upgrade and the Saint memorial is no where to be found.
What Happened Dave ?
Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.
And a great deal of our posts are missing.
I am very dissapointed about Saint's memorial. I have stayed quiet because I didn't actually see were it was promised, but if it was, there has been plenty of time.
I for one miss Saint and would like to see his memory honoured.

I am so sick of this Saint crap. I thanked him for keeping me free a couple years back when he got here, which angered him for some reason, and he confrontationally and arrogantly explained how he was not a soldier but a Marine. It's not like he was some wonderful guy that everyone is going to miss who made many contributions to this site and enriched the lives of everyone on here.

He was the only one from the org that has died so far as we know. he was a part of our little dysfunctional family and some / MOST of us want a memorial for him. Majority does still rule in this country so thank you for your input but stop with the disrespecting of the dead as it only makes you look like an ass hat.
I worked on, along with a few others, a memorial for him and we had everything that was needed for it and I got it all together went thru it all and countless speaches from over the years and compiled something very nice. I sent it off to Dave weeks ago and....................nothing.
Dave is this going to happen ? I know you've been extra busy what with the new baby and all but it would seem there was time to re-do the site.
Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.

first; u do know, if you dont like something thats discussed on this site, then you dont have to read it. second; if you dont like something you read, you MOST CERTAINLY dont have to respond to it. if you are "so sick of this crap" then dont post about it, because you are only advancing discussion on something you dont want to advance... for instance, i can garauntee youve just pissed about 10 people off or so, so they will feel the need to post about what you said, and make you look like a tool. and something ive learned here, if you dont want to make yourself look like a tool, than dont post idiotic remarks. you are most certainly entitled to your opinion, but some opinions are better kept to yourself.
and whether he admitted it or not, saint died for the country and therefore, he died for us, to keep us free. him and many others, whether directly or indirectly...
either way, trust me, everyone who doesnt want it, will get over it when the memorial comes.

as jackalope said, he is the only one so far, but we can worry about this(god i certainly hope it doesnt) when/if it comes.
I can handle the flames kid.
Sorry about your friend, but if others didn't agree with my opinion the memorial would have been put up by now.

Dave just had a baby so which do you think might come first. Hmmmm, lets seee....... a silly internet site full of cry babies or his child........Hmmm, this is a toughie....... still thinking.......
How bout the fact that for the memorial we have Dave saying its a GREAT idea and dare I say 99% of the Org is in agreement. So that leaves you and Bliz as so far the lone only 2 that seems to have a problem with it. So 2 people out of how many thousands ? Me thinks you and your 2 opinions matter not when the rest of the org wants it done.
I'm not gonna start flaming you but I do hope you know how your making yourself look to everyone. It doesn't matter if you had an E-arguement with the guy all that matters is he died in the service of this country which ulimately means he died for us all and for to bash him after hes dead just shows what kind of person you really are. Congrats on that !
In the end your bad mouthing the dead you do realize that right ?
Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.
Heck I'm a Canadian, so while the argument could be made that he died for me, it is certainly in an indirect way.
I enjoyed his input, we had many discussions, and I thought he was a nice guy always looking to do the right thing. While I agree that a memorial could not be provided for everyone, I understand that one for Saint was proposed. If it was agreed upon that one should exist, then I'm all for it and a little dissapointed that it has not come.
As far as people supporting the idea. I and many many others contributed to a fund for his family and the numbers of people who wanted to do something for him was overwhelming. There are a great number of people who would support this memorial.
Please show some respect for the dead as a minimum.

This is what, the fourth time you've made a thread asking where the memorial is? Seriously, we are getting to it and it will be up as soon as possible. Please give it a rest, at least in the forums. It's not like anyone has forgotten about the memorial or Brian.
