Oh, and I am certain far fewer folks read these member forums areas than read Zach's main posts, and there is none of the back and forth with DocChuck here, so I am confident that displacing (good term, Deanlo) my comments here is preferrable to Zach and his overall audience.
On the matter of free speech - the ability of one to comment on Zach's website is a private function rather than a public one, one granted via registration and Zach's implicit approval of said registration. Along the same lines, Zach has edited or removed many comments, entirely at his own discretion. Along the same lines, Zach can ban anyone - removing their right to speak at all - at any time.
So - appealing to freedom of speech is a noble sentiment, but simply does not apply in this case.

I think this topic has exhausted itself :) (i had this whole thing typed out but Goats&Chrisss are right... if I pursue it anymore it would just never end.)
Let's hope everything works out for the best.

You may well be right
I just mainly wanted folks to know the reason why I was not responding to DocChuck spew posts any more, and at the same time provide a spot where folks could ask questions or make comments about DocChuck without interrupting the comment sections of Zach's mainline posts.
It is not my intent to add additional comments about DocChuck here unless someone asks a question, so Deanlo et al no need to worry that I will take comments I would have made before inline with DocChuck spewage and simply post them here. Zach wanted the back and forth to stop, and so I have stopped my part in it.
I may at some point post a collection of links to pages that better explain DocChuck from the point of view of the webmasters whose sites he has infected, just as references on the matter of DocChuck from folks other than myself.

Seriously. It's clear that DocChuck09 adds no value to this site, but it's also abundantly clear that no one cares what he has to say -- except you. Sure, there's the very, very slim possibility that a drive-by reader will see something he wrote and think it's true, or broadly assume the whole site is filled with idiots like DocChuck or that the site lacks merit because of his existence. But more likely that person will assume "troll", point and laugh, and ignore. Because the pointless ramblings of a liar or two is expected in any forum.
In short, just ignore him like the rest of us. Putting up topics like this one only serves to feed the troll.

Dave: I wouldn't say no one cares. There have been plenty of others who have lashed out at him as well, albeit not as frequently. Rudy as one example of many.
Zach and Chris6Sigma care, due to their comments in the link at the start of this thread.
To your point, though - I would concur that the majority of commenters don't seem to care, which is unfortunate. So there are a few who care, but not as you say "no one".

TLDR = too long; didn't read.
b& :tenbux: = banned, $10

In the comments on a fairly recent MTL entry (http://midtownlunch.com/2009/10/23/midtown-links-the-chicken-pot-pie-edition/), Zach indicated he was considering banning me and DocChuck as he is "sick of the same back and forth every day"
I understand this concern, and promised in a subsequent comment that I would cease and desist; and I have kept that promise
I will confine my comments on DocChuck (& his many alternate login identities) here, and intend it to serve as a reference on the subject
Full disclosure:
1) I'd like to see DocChuck banned from this website, just as he is from most other well written food websites, like SE and OTB
2) I (like DocChuck) am not located in NYC, but I like to read about NYC, especially it's food scene. Also, this website is very enjoyable to read
