I don't have television at my house -- I know the guy *entirely* from flicking past his show while sitting on motel beds and looking for something to kill time. My impression of him was that he was constantly manhandling wild animals. That is an activity that IS worthy of criticism. He acted in an incredibly cartoonish way, and I'm not surprised that some people on a public message board are treating his death like a cartoon.

It's fucking tragic that he left behind a wife and two kids, and I certainly hope his good work with conservation and habitat continues.

(on a different note -- why is this board subjected to sermons when only a minority of people are deserving of one?? I don't doubt that obnoxious posts exist here, because I certainly haven't read all the threads, but what from what I HAVE read, the negative posts are in the minority, even if you include the thoughtful negative posts like symbolman's.)
