It really sucks to hear this.

RIP to a VERY smart man who contributed a lot to our site and made people think.

Wow, this is terrible. Zorgon was a great contributor. Rest In Peace. I hope he now has answers to all of his curiosities.

I didn't know him, but may he forever fly among the stars that he loved. RIP fella.

condonances to his friends and family

Very sad news indeed... Ron was a great guy and I thoroughly enjoyed the time I got to spend with him at the Bay Area UFO Expos back in the day. We had different opinions on lots of things but he was a wealth of knowledge and good soul.

RIP Ron...

A really sad news. Rest in peace, you will be missed.

Zorgon RIP

Sad news indeed, prayers for the family of Zargon.

I had the opportunity to meet Ron here as well. He was very kind, thoughtful and intelligent. Much more quiet than you'd expect from his larger-than-life online persona. I had a great time moon anomaly hunting on his and John Lear's threads.

You will be missed, Ron...

It's the big elephant in the room, but I find it odd some of the tributes paid to Zorgon here. Nice to see he has survived his persona non gratis status with ATS. Of course he had to die to do it.

Rest in Peace Zorgon. My condolences to you and to all of his loved ones. May he find the answers to all of his most wonderous unanswered questions.

Rest in peace.

I didn't know or speak to him...

but I do offer my condolences for the loss of your friend and along to his family and friends.

Blessed be.

Followed Ron's work since "meeting" him on ATS back in 2012 when I migrated over to Pegasus Forum. We disagreed often, but his research & tenacity was some of the best.

Can't say we were ideologically aligned, but he was a respectable researcher and he deserves some recognition for his contributions, especially in regards to the Secret Space Program.

It's possible to make someone "persona non grata" (I suppose that's what you meant) on ATS and still be a friend of that person and think highly of their work and of them as a person, the reasons for a specific action do not change what the person was or their work.

I told him on some occasions that I thought he was acting the wrong way on ATS and that he could suffer the consequences, but that doesn't mean I stopped being his friend or thinking he was, at heart, a good man.

Me, I prefer to remember him for the hundreds of great posts and dozens of great threads he made on ATS and for the way he acted (in general) to other people instead of focusing on the few times he acted against the rules and had to suffer the consequences, both here and on his own forum, where I told him several times that I thought he was not acting as he should.

Was he perfect? Obviously not. Was he mostly a good person and made great threads and posts? Definitely yes.
