Wiktionary: Noun kook
(Slang) an eccentric, strange or crazy person.
I really don't understand how someone could get so worked up about such a thing in the first place. I've been named all sorts of things by a bunch of vandals, but most people know it's complete and utter rubbish.
I'd recommend this person to take it easy and laught at the effort these people make to do all this.

And when I wrote that I meant the note to Ed to be offline, I meant offlist, sorry. Was trying to do too many things at once there.
Stacey, it's not a question of requiring subjects' approval. Sometimes it's important to fight to keep material in Wikpedia, and I've done it, but in this case, the subject is a private person, entirely non-notable, in a story that isn't a matter of public interest; so if it were up to me alone, I'd delete it because it's upsetting him. It's a question of cost-benefit. In this case, there's a cost to him and no benefit to us.
