Maybe he wanted to mend fences. I hadn't talked to him in 13 years.

He was on worse terms with Lance Moody whom he once banned. I didn't get along great either. Once, after I posted a point by point refutation of his ideas, he referred to me as "this dork" but said "I can't ban him …."
Anyway RIP.
Btw does anybody know the condition of skeptic CDA/Christopher Allen ? Been a long time since I saw him in KDR's blog.
At a time when any member could delete their own posts without limit, Moody went in and removed everything he ever posted (which took threads he introduced with him).
That makes it hard to disagree with the original decision to ban him, though it was later rescinded.

That happened after he was restored.

You're referring to deletions, OK.

I just heard about David's death today while visiting UFO legend Rick Hilberg. I loved the old episodes when David would don the "bad cop" uniform. I miss those days.
A favorite memory, however hazy all these years later, is his story about the death of his mother and the events surrounding his sitting Shiva for her. I've tried to find that episode without success. If anyone has the date of that show, or a link to it, I would be so grateful.

David told a number of stories about his background, and thus I wouldn't remember which episode he discussed anything like that. Remember he did over 200 with us.

This wasn't an aside. It was like a half hour story at least. It proved to David that his mom "survived" death. I don't believe there were any guests on that episode.
Anyway, RIP David and best wishes to you Gene.
Understood. I recall this but, again, I wouldn't recall which episode unless it was mentioned in the description.

Actually David and I remained friends in the years after the Paracast, often having long talks on the phone about topics we were both interested in (not UFO's).
In recent years he seemed so very happy about his new house and his job at Yale.
I remember that not too long ago (it seems recent but must have been a year or so ago) a friend of his died and he posted the news on Facebook.
I posted a reply along the lines of ,"I'm so sorry, David!" And he took offense that I used an exclamation point in my post and unfriended me and blocked me. Let me mention that several other folks also replied using exclamation points but without earning David's wrath.
I took it as just one of those quirky things about David and assumed that we would reconnect sometime.
So I am sad to say that today that I did try to reconnect and I found out about his death earlier this year.
He was a very unique person and he will be missed.

Thanks for sharing Lance.
I always very much enjoyed David’s co-hosting appearances from the first episode of the Paracast - it was such a very exciting time and I couldn’t wait for the next week to come around. There were some great episodes especially where obvious charlatans were exposed. David’s own anomalous experiences of that massive ufo sighting with his brother (and many others witnesses) and that weird lady ghost were fascinating. It was such a pity that he left the show after that great fallout - he was much missed. I did tune in to his “Angry Human” podcast several times, but I was never much into politics. He was a great loss to the ufo field - again like Chris O’B a blend of critical thinking and humour … although David’s humour was a little more on the cynical side and he did have a shorter fuse when it came to temper, but that was all part of his unique makeup. Another great loss
