Bashing Chuck in this manner is repellent.
He was not a Christian. He was not ignorant. Nor did he die of AIDS. What nonsense all of this is.
Since I am no expert on the inner workings of Chuck's mind I cannot comment much on the Christianity "traitor" element of this smear. However, this is why it should be manifestly clear he did not die of AIDS. Chuck Shuldiner was undergoing chemotherapy when he died. No one dying of AIDS receives chemo because such treatment further degrades an already weakened immune system. People with Kaposi's sarcoma have to be reasonably strong to get chemo, and even then they do not receive aggressive treatments if they are too sick. There are people with AIDS who develop non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who never receive chemo because chemo combined with AIDS will kill them faster than the lymphoma can. If Chuck was so far gone with AIDS that he was dying, he would not have been on chemo. Period.
Add to this that a NECROTIC TUMOR was removed from his brain, causing an initial misdiagnosis of a rare form of cancer. It is unknown what he died from, but necrotic brain tumors are not now, nor were they ever, symptoms of AIDS.
If this isn't enough, bear in mind that Chuck was uninsured and there were many benefits and shows held to raise money for Chuck's treatment. Lots of people, directly and indirectly, were involved in his treatment. This wasn't Rock Hudson dying quietly. This was a man fighting overtly for his life. So how is it exactly that this man who is called stupid by some on this site managed to hide the nature of his illness so well without anyone finding out? Because the only place you will find assertions that Chuck died of AIDS is on anus.com. It's not because anus somehow "knows" the truth. It's because someone has a hard-on for Chuck or is smearing his name to suit their own agenda.
Truly shameful stuff guys. The man died of a mysterious condition and people from anus.com saw fit to harass his mother. Of course, agendas know no shame, do they?
Honestly, why not pick on the living? Or is that too hard, with a living entity to refute you? I fear some of you are are you getting your ducks in a row to malign Jared Anderson. I say this because the attempt to assert that Jesse Pintado died of AIDS didn't really get much of a reaction, did it?
And yeah, I know. Banned and BAHLEETED! I'm crying inside. Really. I am.
