Thanks for that Hugh. I think D-dog is perhaps the strangest thing to ever brush up against this site, topping even the fraudlent speed climber. That encyclopedia dramatica entry G-spotter posted a link to (careful folks, there's stuff there that you can't unsee ever) misses the whole basejumping end of things, another community he burned through in a most controversial manner. His presence here was extraordinarily normal compared to the rest of his internet life.
I never believed that Gerbil stuff in the past, but this bit really makes me wonder. yeeesh.
In an unrelated note, I brought three sheep home today. baa
