Much as the Cunctator irks me, I'd much prefer to have him around than to have him hounded out. He supplies needed perspective and balance.
He's not destructive, he's just a curmudgeon. And we need a curmudgeon like Cunc around here, if only to play devil's advocate.
Believe it or not, I consider him one of my top ten influences at Wikipedia. I might not agree with everything he says, but I NEVER take what he says lightly.
