RIP @BCC

@BCC and I were online adversaries but friends in real life. He was an iconic curmudgeon. And a real mensch.

From the Ethical Culture Society of Essex County:

"We are sad to share notice of the passing of Marty (Martin) Cotler, longtime member of our society. Marty had headed our finance committee and was instrumental in saving our building at a time when finances were very rocky. He guided us through many crises.

"We remember his great, dry wit, and his leveling influence. He and his spouse Barbara were part of the sturdy foundation of our Essex Group. They personified the Ethical philosophy. Barbara passed in July of 2021.

"Both Marty and Barbara are truly missed and remembered with much love. Messages of sympathy may be directed to his daughter Valerie at 482 Ridgewood Road, Maplewood, NJ 07040"


I’m incredibly sorry for the loss of your friend, Paul. May his memory be a blessing. BCC and I crossed virtual swords many a time here, and as frustrating as he was, I missed him when he left our MOL shores. RIP BCC.


It’s been a while but I remember BCC as a solid, reasoned and free-thinking voice on here. RIP.


Sorry to hear this, but it's good that he's so well-remembered.


Sorry to hear the news - it's been awhile since his last post, but he was quite an active poster back in the day:

Sad news. We need our curmudgeons. Thank you for sharing, Paul.
