Many of you know NSG's own Dyakovo. You've probably seen him in debates or had a discussion with him.
There's no good way to put this, but Dyakovo was involved in an accident some time ago and has passed away last week. I know many people here liked Dyakovo. He was straight to the point and frank. He didn't waste everyone's time with honeyed words and his jokes were brilliant. Sometimes they were a bit too much for the more sensitive folks here, and some made you feel like a horrible human being for laughing.
You might not have agreed with him all the time and maybe you didn't quite get along with him. I know I didn't always see eye-to-eye, but fuck it I had nothing but respect for him.
This thread serves as a tribute to Dyakovo, use it to share your thoughts and words.
[Moderator Edit - Cogitation] The NationStates Moderation Team has good reason to believe that this death notification is genuine. Out of concerns for the privacy of those most deeply affected, we will not be sharing any details about how we know this (beyond what Dyakovo's closest friends and loved ones choose to publish). Please conduct yourselves in this thread as though you were actually attending a real-world wake at a funeral home.
