WOW that explains it, thanks Karen! - Mike Fruchter

That's too bad, I liked reading his comments on FF. - Jess Lee

All our conversations were apparently a big waste. Hm. - Todd Hoff

Didn't always read his Zen comments, quotes and stuff, but its a loss to FF. - Roberto Bonini

I like to read his comments also it was always good to read his opinions. it is a shame that he left Friend Feed. Wonder why he left? - Paul

good riddance - Zee.

There should be some sort of ceremony for those who leave FF. Not so much for them, but for those who are left behind. I'll bring the vegetable plate. - Todd Hoff

I call the potato salad ! :) I liked his non-zen comments. And also that I got some crazy zen pushed on me from time to time. - Thomas Bøhm

Perhaps he felt that Friendfeed was a drag on getting any serious work done. There is an enormous downside to social media in terms of wasting time and energy. All the jibber jabber. - Sean McBride

Still that doesn't mean you can't follow him on twitter!! ;) - Paul

Holly crap! I was just interacting with him yesterday - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge

Actually, his Twitter feed has gone private... - Sprague D

Did a particular incident trigger his decision? - Sean McBride

What's his Twitter handle? - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge

http://twitter.com/gregorylent - Sprague D

Whilst we had our fraught moments, and his thinking can appear irrelevant, I found him to be a challenging and interesting adversary, worthy of respect. - Sir Slippy of Slippington

That is sad. Greg had an interesting slant on things - I could grok his feed. - Chris Loft

Lent was smarter than many of the people he interacted with here, which tended to provoke his annoyance. FF will be not be nearly as interesting without his posts. - Sean McBride

is this the hippy guy? yeah "interesting" slant...he always had a more "zen" than though attitude that was condescending - sofarsoShawn

Bummer. I enjoyed that he always had something to say. Will miss him. - DeWitt Clinton

No, not "hippy." Much too hard-headed and hard-edged to be "hippy." Big picture guy, with a grounding in Eastern metaphysics. - Sean McBride

Looks like his twitter account is kapoofers now, too. - Alix Whitmire ☂

I enjoyed a lot of what he had to say, but Gregory did appear to be getting increasingly frustrated (and cantankerous) over the last month or so. I'm sorry he left, and I hope he finds the joy he is looking for. - Ladybug Heather

Twitter feed is actually still there, just protected. - Roberto Bonini

Thank you, Heather... that is what I was thinking but couldn't find the way to say it. - Yolanda

It was good that he was here... He will be missed. - MVB

@Jason. Can't get it either now. Quite strange - was getting it half an hour ago. - Roberto Bonini

Oh man, I liked the guy. We rarely saw eye to eye, but I'm not so full of myself that I can't see that people have different perspectives and that's "ok". - Derrick

I need to ask him in person - Steve Chou

Not on FF, not on Twitter... I hope he enjoys where ever life takes him. I wish you well Gregory. - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge

Someone with his email address should try to confirm that he is actually ok. - Sean McBride

I'm with Zee. I blocked him a long time ago. - Paul Reynolds

Yeah, he had the distinction of being pretty widely blocked. - j1m

He is making a statement to us about the impermanence of all things. - Robin Barooah

If anything, this is an interesting experiment on how thoroughly someone can erase themselves on FF and Twitter. Here on FF there's nary a trace except people's reply comments to him. - Phil Glockner

FWIW, his blog: http://postlinearity.com/ his art: http://www.gregorylent.com/ , with that, I bid adieu, he seems glad to be rid of us so I feel the same way. - Phil Glockner

Wow! I liked his interesting, albeit heady, questions... Sad he left! - Susan Beebe

Not completely in agreeance with Zee, but certainly there were times where I nearly went the ban. Some days he'd be great value, other days overboard. Hot and cold. Still, sad to see anyone quit, and I do wish him well. - Duncan Riley

Being able to see the big picture without being firmly grounded has a tendency to make one more and more disillusioned - especially if you have not yet realized the futility of debating with black and white thinkers and those whose perspectives are vastly different than his. Perhaps he'll decide to come back; perhaps not. - Internet Strategist

Gregory is coming back on Twitter. - Steve Chou

Yep. He's back!!!!!! On twitter, that is. - Roberto Bonini

I thought his stuff was good -- reliably ornery, sometimes grumpy, heavy on the US criticism, but it's all good -- we need you back GL -- ok I'll speak for myself, I hope you come back :) - Christopher Galtenberg

I miss him too, there was always something in his feed or comments that was truly worth reading. At least the spark of an interesting observation or idea if not a full blown one. I was actually in the middle of replying to a post when he deleted the account. - xero

Meh. After watching him engage in a long comment debate about the auto industry only to go back and delete each and every one of those comments 30 min later so that it appeared the person was ranting to themselves, I lost a huge measure of respect for Gregory Lent. He showed poor form, poor taste, and a lack of respect not just for the person he was debating but for the concept of civilized debate altogether. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Looks like he has a private FriendFeed now. He was deep which is what is what I really like about him. I can skim almost every comment except his, sometimes I bookmark them for reading later. He is temperamental, but I could live with that. ++Derrick and ++Heather. - vijay

"After watching him engage in a long comment debate about the auto industry..." Oh yeah... I remember him now. Name didn't ring a bell, but I do remember chatting RE the auto industry. Anyway, looks like either he's back or somebody else grabbed the name. No idea why somebody'd do that. Maybe a different gregorylent. Seems like this is Important to some folks: http://friendfeed.com/gregory... - Ken Sheppardson
