A tragic loss.

Do people feel it would be inappropriate or an invasion of privacy if we asked for more information about the real person?

In a sense, there is no RobinRohan any more real than the one we knew. Sure, there was a real person doing that typing, but people on the internet often post from a kind of "alternate" version of themselves. We saw him through a unique window to his self.

I think it's better to celebrate him as we knew him rather than pry into his offline existence. His friends and family are in a much better position to celebrate that part of him, and it would be arrogant for us to attempt to appropriate that function.

Instead lets remember him as we are uniquely suited to - as RobinRohan of EvC. I'll always remember him as a logical prankster, and I can't ever forget the origin of his username.
