Poppet/Drew

[André]

I know that this might be deleted, but I am willing to take that risk,
becuase I am creating this thread in honour of a very good friend of
mine. This friend is someone who's favourite place was in the
Debate forum. So, therefore, I decided to post this thread here, in
the debate forum.

---

The friend that I speak of is Drew. Many of you will know him as
Poppet. And those of you that do, either hated him or loved him.
However, many of you probably did not have the chance to Know
Poppet. So therefore, you may now leave this thread and go on
with your life if you wish. But, if you knew Poppet, even as an
enemy, I urge you to stay here, and read the entirety of this thread.

As I said in the previous paragraph, Poppet was someone you
either hated or loved. Trust me, I know him, and I have hated him
as well as called him my best friend. If you're wondering, no, he is
not dead. However, I will not see him agian for a long time becuase
we are going to seperate schools next year, and I felt it was an
appropriate time to pay tribue to Drew.

Those of you who remember him probably think of Poppet as a
stubborn jerk who loved to debate. However, in real life, this comes
from his great intelligence, and knack for humour both sophomoric
and intellectual. As I got to know Drew I became more and more
aware of his incredible ability to make people laugh.

Drew began his career on TS back when it was still .Proboards20.
He began by posting in the general section in light discussions and
soon found himself in many arguments. So, when the Debate board
was created, he became the moderator. However, many people
complained about him being a jerk. Drew was soon banned, and
many poeple regarded him very poorly. There were name changes,
and avatar and personal text tweaks by the GMods. I do not like
to admit it, but I was involved in said prank. However, he was
allowed back on TS, and he continued to argue in his old manner. It
was in truth a non-issue.

During his time on TS I regarded Drew as a neusance. However,
when I met him at school, I soon found him to be an incredible
person, and we became good friends over the course of this past
year. Therefore, I post this in honour of Drew (a.k.a. Poppet).

Ah, yes, I remember Poppet quite well. He was indeed an expert debater, and was able to find the tiniest flaw in his adversary's statement. Although I did not hold him in very high regard, it was easy to see his great intelligence. His posts in the Debate forum contained scathing facts and a sharp, unsurpassable wit. He shot me down several times and, (like many others) I wasn't too happy about it and thought him a stubborn jerk. However, I met him once off the Debate board and he was perfectly civil and cordial. I don't think he was a jerk (not anymore, at least) and I admire him as an expert debater and researcher, able to yank his opponents down with facts and strike painful nerves. But, perhaps, he wasn't really meant for this place. Maybe he should take his debating skills to a site especially meant for that sort of thing. Because, in a place where manners are the rule, his style tends to rub many people (including me) the wrong way.

I don't know who he was, but he sounded kinda like myself. I hate to admit, but when I get into a debate about things, I will be stubborn 'till death I do depart. I won't budge an inch. However, when off of the debate board, I'm (well I think I am...catch me if I'm wrong) pretty nice. I act civilly, cordually, and sweetly to those who I have the pleasure to know. Where is "Poppit" going to now? Why won't you see him for a long time? How long is long?

AHH...I remember a Poppet...he rather got on my nerves....I PMed him once and asked him a question about the sight (if he liked it) and he said: Do you have a crush on me....Pfft...Where did that come in...He was...weird in a funny way, I eventually got to know him, but we never became "friends"

[Trile]

I remember Poppet. I was scared to death of him because I was only eleven I had never been on a chat sight/rp thing at all. I stayed out of his way I think, cause he could easily squash my nonknowing self. And Farrah, your debates were nothing like his. He was really smart and so down to the point you could call him mean. Yes, childish word. Anyway, you are nothing like that, and somehow I don't think your debates are that strong? Just what I think. What school is he going to, though?
