What is it that you expect a "heartfelt tribute" from David while he, for some reason, did not or was not able to write it and so republished and old article? You could have sent him your own if you felt such a thing was missing. Given you'd have kept to the subject I'm sure David would have published it. - BCNU!nr6dehttp://www.nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-66455201967094373762014-01-15T21:43:21.203+00:002014-01-15T21:43:21.203+00:00David has simply reproduced now what he wrote &quo...David has simply reproduced now what he wrote "at the time, or around the time of his death". Of course, 5 years on I would not expect anyone to lament Patrick's passing passionately, but at the time there are some wonderfully heartfelt tributes to the man on the 'Net. David's, however, is not one of them, it's scarcely a tribute, just glorified news reporting. And as a published author I would expect him to know how to spell and string proper sentences together, wouldn't you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-20830358695082052052014-01-15T13:24:20.403+00:002014-01-15T13:24:20.403+00:00Additionally I think McGoohan would have appreciat...Additionally I think McGoohan would have appreciated Davids work to keep critical and honest, but appreciative discussion alive more than he would have appreciated someone trying to insult other fans.There's no lack of appreciation in a typo, and Memorium is a word that exists in its own right.Jananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-15245684247894872192014-01-15T11:09:45.974+00:002014-01-15T11:09:45.974+00:00It just doesn't matter how an appreciative art...It just doesn't matter how an appreciative article is called and whether David misspells something. Besides, who'd expect David crying 5 years after the fact. McGoohan's passing is a loss, certainly, but to his relatives in the first place. Call it blasphemous or outrageous, it's his work, The Prisoner, that I enjoy and admire. A work of art that, like many others, sometimes proves to be wiser than its creator. - BCNU!nr6dehttp://www.nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-50674409605615762822014-01-15T08:26:23.621+00:002014-01-15T08:26:23.621+00:00So, Anonymous raises his ugly voice once again.

It is his blog, he is free to write whatever he chooses, spelling mistakes and all.<br /> If you hate him and his blog so much, obvious by your insulting remarks towards him, why do you waste your precious time reading it? You are fast becoming a laughing stock and already people are sick of you.<br /> Since you clearly think you and your knowledge is far superior, why don't you share the benefit of your wisdom, by writing your own blog?<br /><br />PS Regarding the Asperger's syndrome reference. This is generally associated with people of high intelligence, so perhaps you are paying him a compliment!<br /><br />Tosha McBrideAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-90626800449582316832014-01-14T20:43:29.266+00:002014-01-14T20:43:29.266+00:00David's lack of emotion, difficulty in talking...David's lack of emotion, difficulty in talking about anyone other than himself (the pieces above are mainly about how David does or doesn't feel about McGoohan's passing, not a tribute to the man himself), coupled with his obsession with the two Prisoner tv series, suggest he may be suffering from Asperger's syndrome. Our lady of the Looking Glass is at least affected by Patrick's death, David's more concerned with name-dropping Frank Maher. Finally misspelling McGoohan and Memoriam doesn't help his cause. <br />'In memoriam' is a Latin phrase that directly translates as "into memory" and examples of its uses can be found in obituaries and in epitaphs. David has written neither an obituary nor an epitaph, so, as well as misspelling it, is using the phrase fraudulently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-90665755378362352132014-01-14T10:16:24.023+00:002014-01-14T10:16:24.023+00:00Hi david,

I didn't know personaly Patrick McGoohan, like many fans but felt affected by his death, about 18 months after the event. I didn't know <br />very well The Prisoner when Pat McGoohan died. I discovered The Prisoner on TV during July and August 2010 and became immediately fascinated. I didn't have computer and learnt his death in a bookshop. I felt affected and was sad during weeks. I didn't see his death as an escape but as an abandonment of his struggle against the power, illness... I think I compared him as Number 6. He put so mutch of himself in his series...<br />Be Seeing YouAliceLiddellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824634439551423772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-21460764569896584332014-01-13T16:21:05.908+00:002014-01-13T16:21:05.908+00:00What do you mean?

I can tell you, in the case of my own Prisoner or Nummer 6 involvement, it isn't that I wouldn't want to write something specific which has been on my mind, it's a matter of time and - call it - mental freshness, gotta have your head free of everyday things to get going. That's all. That's a lot. - BCNU!nr6dehttp://www.nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-75784437579670488212014-01-13T12:05:50.943+00:002014-01-13T12:05:50.943+00:00"Patrick Mcgoohan In Memorium"
