Buz often would send me private messages, as support, encouragement, or just friendly greetings. He often told me stories of his sons beloved adopted children from China. In reality he was a stranger to me, but in another sense I feel a sadness of losing an old friend. He was clearly passionate about his ideas, while at the same time remaining unfailingly tolerant and polite to others. I often felt bad for him having to fend off so many critics at one time, but he never seemed to mind. Sincere condolences to all his family. He made a lot of friends here.

Rest in peace Buzz. EvC is a lesser place today with your absence.

Buzsaw's member ID will be his forever - member accounts are never deleted, so ID's do not get reassigned. As for a permanent memorial, I don't have any good ideas myself. Maybe he *should* be added to the Tribute Thread for the Recently Passed Greats thread. --Percy

I wonder if his wife is aware of his messages here? Or has read them? I almost think that would *not* be a good idea, but I don't know. What do you guys think? It might be an interesting window into his mind, but too, you never know what you might find when poeple think they're being anonymous.

Yeah that is what he said. Am I mistaken or wasn't he related to someone else here? Probably have my memories confused. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

I was just thinking of NosyNed the other day. Even though I've rarely met any of my internet friends, I do think of them and hope that they are well when they are no longer around.

Like many here, I disagreed with Buz on...well, a lot of things. But he was a good guy. He was capable of making me furiously frustrated...but he was always polite, welcomed new members, and always seemed wholly genuine in his convictions, which included being a decent human being. He'll be missed. “The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion (either as being the received opinion or as being agreeable to itself) draws all things else to support and agree with it.” - Francis Bacon "There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers “A world that can be explained even with bad reasons is a familiar world. But, on the other hand, in a universe suddenly divested of illusions and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land. This divorce between man and his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity.” – Albert Camus "...the pious hope that by combining numerous little turds of

Bloody hell, Buz, now we'll never be able to finish up those old cosmology discussions. I'd like to say that I've never found anyone more annoying than you, when trying to teach them hardcore physics, but I have to say that ICANT has you beat - just  You taught me precisely where my patience runs out; and just how many times my stubborness would drive me back for one last attempt... Thanks for these memories - you're giving me a big grin thinking on them. And did we ever find out exactly what it was that Buz saw? CD

Although I almost never post, I'm a daily lurker here. Buzsaw's posts for me were a delightful comedy. Delusional? Check. Rest in peace, gentle Buzsaw.
