My condolences to his family and friends. He gave a lot to this site, and was a voice of calm and reason.

It makes me very sad to hear about Bas passing away.

He was always so polite and calm. He had always something sensible and wise to say. He never raised his voice in here but still he got very much taken notice of.
I will miss his postings.

My condolences to his loved ones, his family and friends.

Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.

Just think it through.

I posted this in the back....

You offered stability and calm perspective here and I'm going to miss you my brother. In this surreal place you were by far my favorite and my very good and trusted friend. I shared with you like I did with no others here.

I will think fondly of you often. For now it makes me very sad hearing you have passed.

This is really sad. So young! I spoke with him once on peakspeak - I think it was like 2AM there. We had an entertaining conversation as I think he had just shut down the bar district. Rest In Peace Bas....

This is really sad news. Until something like this happens, you don't think about the attachments you make in a community like this.

Good bye, Bas....

In ancient Europe (opposed to now) there were big feasts when someone died. So let's skip the condolences and frame Bas as a fighter that (finally/already) has made it onto the other side.

Memento mori. You never know when its your turn to kick the bucket. Such a shame to lose him, it seems everyone liked Bas even on such a polarized site. He looked younger than 30, I wonder what had happened...

Very likely he was driving down an alley he was not supposed to!

I find the desire to find out how he met his end a bit distasteful. If those close to him wish to divulge it, then fair enough. Otherwise, just leave them to their grief.

I'm very sorry to hear this. My condolences to his friends and family.

A tragedy... thanks to everyone for your kind words for this cherished member of our community.

RIP friend
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.
