Wow... amazing amount of douchbag comments from people in a thread the DAY the guy dies....
Mods must have dozed off a bit as several folks should have been booted and the whole thread is OT to pinball (regardless of a tangential link to the machine).
btw- in my assessment of douchbaggery, I include the political rants (both sides) as well as the general lack of good taste.
I don't consider the guy a "hero", but today (and pinside!) is no place to debate it.
