What's the word on The Magistrate?

[WilliamPitt]

There was a thread on The Magistrate having been absent for an uncomfortably long time, but I can't seem to find it. Any word?

1. My favorite DUer. Nobody else comes close. n/t

I hope he's okay and just lurking for now.

2. I do miss him

No word to date

3. A British magistrate found him guilty of impersonating a public official.

Sentence: no DU for 3 years. Seriously, I've been wondering, too.

4. Maybe someone should PM him.

I don't really "know" him well, or I would. Hope he's okay.

5. No word, sadly. At least that I've seen.

His last post was on October 30, 2014: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=106770

His wife/partner, SheWhoMustBeObeyed, last posted on February 12, 2013: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=129023

I'm fairly certain that SWMBO is The Magistrate's wife/partner, as I remember her posting about him being hospitalized for a heart attack some years back - unless I'm remembering wrong.

Anyway, that past history of heart problems worries me greatly...

On edit: confirmation that SheWhoMustBeObeyed is The Magistrate's wife: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=760394&mesg_id=765062

6. I remember his saying he was looking forward to more time w/ his grandchildren.

7. I visited some antique airplane and modeling forums hoping to see his name...somewhere...

Dead end. Nada, zip, zilch. Perhaps a more competent DU sleuth could have better luck. I miss the sage.

8. don't know, He had good insight on Ukraine issues and stopped posting one day.

19. Yes, I especially appreciated his Ukraine posts.

Sensible and knowledgeable.

9. I do miss him

And hope he is well doing other things

10. Here's the 2003 thread from when he had a heart attack:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x16741#20950

I notice that the thread starter, Lithos, apparently had contact with The Magistrate's family back then. I've DUmailed him to ask for help.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. He had been in the hospital since then (2010)

I remember the thread pre-DU3 - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7559537

[scarletwoman]

16. Thank you very much for the link to that thread!

I had forgotten that he had been hospitalized more than once.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. I miss him, I know that much.

I hope he's ok.

[senseandsensibility]

12. kick

[AtomicKitten]

13. Not knowing is brutal. I hope someone has info.

[yardwork]

15. One of my favorite DUers. I hope he is ok.

17. Has anyone considered asking the owner of this website to try to reach out to

the Magistrate? You're supposed to supply your name and a valid email address when you sign up here, and while I know that people don't always use their real names, maybe the email address is good and Skinner could try to contact him that way.

18. Here are two earlier queries, both unresolved. .
