In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

Due to inactivity, we are de-modding CaptainCourtesy. I don't think I can stress enough how much CC has meant to DP over the years. He served as a mod for 12 years and he has been an admin for more than 10 years. His contributions, both behind the scenes and out in full view for all to see, can't really be measured. I know for a fact that he has personally helped a great many of us during struggles in our personal lives, myself included. He will be missed immeasurably and it is the hope of the entire staff that one day he can return.

He has shared some of what he's gone through personally in a different part of the forum and I'm not going to mention that here. I would appreciate it if everyone not bring those up in this thread out of respect.

Thanks CC for everything you've done and we wish you all the best. We hope that you can come back some day soon as you have truly, truly been missed.
 
I didn't always appreciate his over-the-top comedy mix of Don Rickles and Andy Kaufman. We disagreed on plenty.

This is a loss.
 
CC is legendary and he will be missed. He was a great debater and a refreshing voice here. Like Red has already said, his contributions both in the background and foreground are immeasurable. A unique and skilled individual whose style is inimitable.
 
Well. This sucks. :(
 
He was truly a fair and dedicated mod. My hats off to him.
 
The man stood tall, and debated like no other. Yes, he will be/is missed. :(
 
Oh dear. I'm very sorry to hear this. CC mentored me through the troubled early months of my membership at DP. I've missed him for some time now.
I wish him well.

A sad day for DP. CC was a great mod that took **** from no one. I hope he is doing well.
 
I was a mod with him for several years, and I can say without reservation that he had a tireless dedication to making DP the best it could be.
 
No words can fully express my gratitude to our Captain on a very personal level.

On the forum, you were a fierce debater when appropriate, but never used you authority as leverage. If anything, you went out of your way not to.

CC was part of the personae of the forum, he permanently defined it in many ways upstairs and downstairs, and brought a positive, unique effect to the forum along with himself. Often, he could hear people for who they really are (setting aside his teasing and flaming at which he could not be matched) - whether the person liked his analysis or not. He could make a person think, including about themselves with his skilled and thoughtful insight.

Captain, what higher compliment is there than what so many of us know? Setting aside any politics: You are a good man. I wish you all the best that life can bring to you and your own.

Best of luck to you CC, in everything.
 
Heartbreaking. Words can't express how much I miss him. :(
 
This isn't April 1st. If you're going to do six impossible things before breakfast, why couldn't you choose things that would make the world better?

CC was the mod who first welcomed me to the Mod team over a decade ago. He set the standard for how our staff were to conduct themselves, and he built the foundation for the strongest and fairest mod team on any political forum I've ever seen. He is a part of every brick and every beam this forum is made of.

How can we miss him already, when it'll take years for his presence to fade?

Capt. C wish your the best that life can bring you in what ever endeavor you are
involved in. You were a steady hand here at DP!

I have posted this several times. This is a favorite of mine.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.


Take Care!
 
:( god come back! I guessed such a thing would happen since he hasnt been around for long time :(

DP means CC :(
 
Damn, I hope things go well, whatever he is dealing with.
 
In the spirit of Red's OP, I'd like to post here to celebrate all that the good Captain has done.

But unfortunately, I simply cannot refrain from saying I'm deeply saddened by his departure.
 
CC's absence has been a huge loss to the DP community as a whole.

Not enough words to describe just how awesome he is. i adore and respect him, grateful that he knows this already. I wish him all the best going forward and hope he can pop back in one day.
 
I just hope he is ok.
 
I don't have the words to express how sad I am and how much I've missed him already.

I wish him well and hope all is good in his life.
