**Reeder** is also a Vietnam vet. Something he didn’t talk about much, but which should probably be remembered now. Peace, Reeder. You left a mark here. Your papering of the Pit with multiple Bush-bashing threads had its own, strange, satirical value. ---

I’m sorry to hear about this, for him and his family. Nobody who read the boards regularly while **Reeder** was here is going to forget about him, that’s for sure. ---

I’m so sorry. I hope **Reeder** recovers. I remember thinking he set the standard for me for just how bad the Bush presidency had become when I realized that nearly all of his dire predictions from just after the 2000 election came true. ---

Well, this is just plain awful. Here’s hoping for the best, and that his family is able to get through this. ☹ ---

Oh man. Whatever happens, **Reeder** , may you find peace and rest. Recovery, too, if possible. It’s all too easy to forget that behind the words we read here are actual living breathing human beings… ---

Too bad I missed this thread before it got out of the Pit. I’m so angry right now. Why does this kind of thing happen to good people, when people who are composed mainly of slime live and prosper? Reeder was my favorite poster before he got banned. He was unfairly vilified WHEN HE WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG regarding just about everything he bitched about. I can’t think of anything he wasn’t dead on right about, though I didn’t read all of his posts. Thank you for letting us know debiannj.
