Jonathan_Chance, RIP 2020-11-12

This is one of my favourite, sensible JC moderations, pinned at the beginning of P&E:

Guys, I love you all dearly. I do.

But this habit you’ve developed of casually accusing others with whom you disagree of being Russian propaganda is really wearing. It’s insulting to your debate opponents, to those reading the threads and to the very nature of the Straight Dope itself.

Henceforth, doing so in GD or PE is considered an insult and is warnable.

Remember, I can’t emphasize this enough. Someone saying something with which you disagree does not automatically make them a troll.

So give it a rest.

Thanks.

Goddammit, 2020, stop already.

[Siam_Sam]

Well, damn. He was kind enough to offer me some financial advice back when I had some questions about investing. Sending him good thoughts.

This makes me pretty sad. We’d communicated via PM a bit and had discussed maybe having a beer or something sometime when he was visiting his mother, who lives nearby. Never did happen.

2020 can kiss my ass.

Hi all. A few of you might remember me, most won’t, but I’m the friend Ed Zotti referenced. Nate is comfortable. I read him this thread, and it gave him a some smiles. He sends his best, and would like to request that if you already haven’t, please vote for Biden

[kenobi_65]

Thank you for the update, @Lucretia. Continuing to keep Nate in my thoughts.

[Colibri]

Thanks for the update. I sincerely hope he can hold out long enough to see Biden elected.

I sincerely hope he can hold out long enough to see Biden elected.

I hope we all can.

So very sorry to read this, I wish Nate peace and strength on this final journey, and strength to his family and friends for what is to come.

Done.

[RTFirefly]

I’m so sorry to hear this news. I remember Nate very fondly from Dope-A-Weens at his house when he lived up near Harper’s Ferry, and various other get-togethers. Since he is in hospice, I hope his passing is a gentle one, surrounded by loved ones.

[Typo_Knig]

Done. I wish him, and his family, the best possible.

[BippityBoppityBoo]

Done. This one is for you Jonathan. Good speed and following winds.

[Dung_Beetle]

Done.

[Czarcasm]

I not only voted for Biden, I put in “Nate Wooley” as a write-in vote for a district judge.

[BippityBoppityBoo]

Damn! Wish I had thought of that. I voted weeks ago, day 2 of early in-person and didn’t know about Nate yet.

I am going to remember Dopers names for future write-ins though. You, Czarcasm, could end up as a Natural Resource District Commissioner in flyover Nebraska. Nate will be so pleased. Never fear, we have good cell coverage (no hills in the way as far as the eye can see) and you can have up to 4 chickens in your back yard.

Tell him I would if I could but I can’t, so I’m sending him a maple leaf hug instead.

Thanks for doing that! It was very kind of you. And thanks for the update.

Tell him I already did.

Same here, only I wrote in Gilbert Gottfried and “Weird Al” Yankovic
