Evidently the EU/PC community has recently lost one of it's most public antagonists. I've bumped heads with Jean/Nereid on a number of different forums over the past 15 years, under several different handles (Nereid/Jean Tate/Dierendopa, etc.) I can't say I was a huge fan of his public antagonism of EU/PC theory, but I think he was one of the better communicators from that side of the aisle.
My condolences to his family.
Farewell to Jean Tate (Nereid - Dierendopa)

This was not news that I wanted to wake up to this morning. What a brilliant and prolific mind to have dialoged with. RIP Nereid.

With the exception of Tim Thompson, I can't think of anyone who taught me more about astronomy, or forced me to think my beliefs through and present them clearly. I'll miss Nereid. Rest in peace.
