He turned up on the Samoa Observer letters to the editor section a few times over the years. Seemed to be a fan of tier2/3 rugby.
Never interacted with him as he was before my time but I get the feeling you could be at some remote pub in Kazakhstan catching the only TV showing a rugby match in Central Asia and this fulla would be there in the corner.
He would certainly like you to believe he was there, he probably even believed it himself at times.

Give it a rest, QP always made his presence felt in short order wherever he went.

Indeed. He always made himself known in some way or another.
If he was able to post on PR without outing himself then kudos to him.

He returned to the T2Rugby forum after his earlier 'Rowan' banning as "Edgar" and kept rational, but his posts were mostly C&Ps from news and blogs, plus his usual repeat arguments he'd been banging on about for ever. He was actually restricted to two posts per day to stop him spamming the board.

Really? Haast Eagle seems to have posted amusing maps, 80s TV theme tunes & sci fi films, with a smattering of NZ rugby trivia. Style is friendly and light hearted. No obsession with tier 4 games or World Rugby doing down the underdog or Western Imperialism. If it was him he's changed a lot.

Apart from the username, the posting style, the topics of interest, and the attitude, he's exactly like QP.

Looking at his FB page, he churned out several posts or retweets per day about Israeli human rights abuses - there is no way he could restrain himself from posting about that in a forum ( as he did on the T2Rugby forum).
Also last few posts (last one 3rd Sept) show he seemed to be positive about things so I have doubts about the suicide theory.
That is not Bulldog - that's Quent using his name (Simon died 21/7/08). An absolute cunt of a man.
Exactly. Just couldn't help himself.
Moving to Istanbul may have extended his life by a few years. If he was the prick most folk who had experience with him say, it would disturb me to think Kiwis would have let him continue on that course without taking remedial action with enduring effect.

that account made 9 posts and 3 of those things relate very much to him like how he ends sentences with fullstops, his obsessions with maps and most of all his pro-russian stance, as i said, i can't check on the other bored but he probably was pretty active there as well..

I must pop in. Always as mad as a hatter but quite entertaining at times. You used to get news about rugby from all over the world.
Had a bit of an obsession with PF and RQ.
Never crossed swords with him. He had a log in as a Don Quixote donkey, or some such. I forget the actual one but it began with Alu.
Bit of a board leg end. If he has truly gone to meet his maker, RIP.

That’s not unheard of. How many times has it been said, “they’d just got a new job/house/car, they were finally looking settled, positive and happy”...

I imagine the moment when you think you ought to be ok, but aren’t, could be a pretty bad one.
Surprisingly, it isn't. Suddenly you have a plan that seems workable that could make all the problems go away.

Agree totally. It's not a predictable thing.
Of course, but it all remains speculation for now. His behaviour on forums is enough to make you question his rationality anyway.
KIWIFARMS POSTED THE MOSQUE SHOOTING VIDEO AND HTAT RECENT ONE IN THE us WITH THAT DUMB KID... IF THEY THINK Quentin IS AN ARSE, THEN SOMETHING SURELY IS WRONG..

Waratah created a Yahoo page of QP and a detailed and amusing description of multiple of his personas. It was great reading. Of course Globby, as the great archivist, will have a backup of it.

Just teasing. But you arrived there after me, despite your protests. I signed up July ‘03 after some lurking.
