He's the most eligible kook posting here right now.

Haven't you heard? The kooks have been freed (at least temporarily).
> Honest John - removed because he's one of the good guys
Interesting assessment.
> Chuck Lysaght - removed because he's suffering from cancer
Having an illness, even a potentially fatal one, is not grounds for removal.
Chuck chooses to participate. Cancer doesn't exempt him from the
consequences of his choice.. The numbers say that one-in-two men and
one-in-three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes. You
have no idea how many people who post here have a life-threatening illness,
so singling one of them out for special treatment just because he made his
illness public is not in the cards.
On the other hand--and it was to say this that I replied to this post--using
someone's illness to poke at him (or her) is cheap and unworthy and
ignorant. I'm no fan of Chuck, but it twists my gut when I see posts wishing
him an agonizing death from cancer.

The space below is reserved for your apology to the FNVW for taking his
hallowed name in vain.
