From: Stilly River Sage From Facebook on January 6, 2024: It is with deep sadness to advise the Strachur and wider community that our much loved dad Alex Tickell Snr., after a relatively short illness, passed away at lunchtime today in Inverclyde with his family by his side. You can track through that account to land on the Alex Tickell FB account (very shut down). |

But he did come in and remark in the music sections and when it wasn't dog whistle stuff it usually stayed in the threads. |

02 Feb 24 - 02:32 PM (#4196534) Subject: RE: 2024 Obit: Alex Tickell / akenaton From: Big Al Whittle He seemed to raise the ire of all the 'right-on' members of mudcat. The reasons were various and what the hell it was about was hard to understand for most of us. There was some talk of cruelty to animals and frequent denunciations of his ideology. They dobbed him in to the mods, who seemed to remove his posts. This made it even harder to follow what was going on for the rest of us. Somewhere along the line we lost hundreds of mudcatters who were repelled by the wildness of the accusations and the foul atmosphere. Anyway I don't suppose any of us will figure in the history of the next two hundred years, except perhaps as an example of 20th century neuroses. |

02 Feb 24 - 02:49 PM (#4196535) Subject: RE: 2024 Obit: Alex Tickell / akenaton From: Dave the Gnome As I said, I never got on with him but I wouldn't wish him any harm or dream of turning his obituary into a platform for having a go at fellow Mudcatters. Leave it out people. Even if you didn't respect him in life, have some respect for the feelings of his loved ones now he has gone. |

02 Feb 24 - 05:21 PM (#4196551) Subject: RE: 2024 Obit: Alex Tickell / akenaton From: The Sandman i never had any problem with him, in fact if we had met in person, i am sure we would have enjoyed a good laugh about one or two things. You shpuld never judge anyone on their internet posts, the internet has limitations as regards communication. |

03 Feb 24 - 11:42 AM (#4196600) Subject: RE: 2024 Obit: Alex Tickell / akenaton From: Stilly River Sage The Muskets had it right, but they were the ones blocked for sniping at him. He accused them of libel, but in fact I think they were reporting on issues that made it to the local newspapers. There are a lot of bodies along the way regarding our old friend Ake. He was sometimes overt, sometimes sly, but he could never bite his tongue and stop trashing threads to keep making his point. His views of homosexuality and American politics, among other things, were posted to upset discussions. There was a period of detente I can identify in my messages from him around 2014-15 when his wife was ill, but once she was in the nursing home and after her passing and he was on his own he seems to have gone a bit nuts on the threads. This is just an observation, whether correlation or causation I can't say. |

I haven’t missed Ake in the slightest, although I take no pleasure from his demise - death is always a sad event, no matter whose it may be. |
