Sad to hear this news as he was supposedly a nice guy, as opposed to his counterpart Daniels.

 

[GutsDozer]

That sucks.

Dwarf, gnome, pygmy, height impaired person.

Pick your PC flavor of the week.

If I were a midget, I'd be more insulted by being called a little person.

"Oh you're not a person, you're a little person."

Fuck you, I'm a midget and I'm human.

Midget.

I don't care personally, I do like height impaired though.

Yeah, notorious prick. He wouldn't have anything to do with Kenny Baker IRL, their feud is stuff of legend:

Oh so Daniels is just anti social in general.

Man some of those remarks he made are harsh though
