RIP keristor.

[poltr1]

I found out this morning that keristor passed away after being involved in a head-on collision.

I never met him in person; all I know of him were his posts on LJ. And I'll admit, there were times he came across to me as a know-it-all. I don't like know-it-alls because they're always trying to prove they're a better person than me by demonstrating that they know more than me. But I'll own that as my projection. He may not have been like that at all in real life.

I do know that the filk community in the UK will be poorer because of his absence.

He was not like that at all in real life. In fact, he was very very humble, and very kind.
People sometimes come across differently in writing. But also, as you say, own projection has to do with it.
I dare say that the whole European filk community will be poorer - Keris was just as much a part of German filk fandom as of the British.
