I think this is appropriate here.
RIP Charles Norrie, landslide winner of the June/July Stundies, passed away as a result of suicide by mod, 11th September 2010.
He first showed up on the forum on 29th August, less than two weeks ago. In his short JREF life he gathered eight yellow cards, a round handful of mod boxes and two suspensions. His first 24-hour stay on the naughty step was acquired after only two days on the forum. Three days later, he copped a whole week in the cooler. That time was up yesterday, but instead of returning to debate, he sent Lisa an abusive PM.
His active membership spanned only five days, during which he achieved 101 posts, and the aforementioned eight yellow cards etc. etc. His performance in the "stick fingers in ears and hum real loud" department was one of the finest I have personally witnessed.

Let's hear it for Charles, he was one of the all-time greats.
