Wiktionary:
Noun
kook
(Slang) an eccentric, strange or crazy person.
I really don't understand how someone could get so worked up about
such a thing in the first place. I've been named all sorts of things
by a bunch of vandals, but most people know it's complete and utter
rubbish.
I'd recommend this person to take it easy and laught at the effort
these people make to do all this.

And when I wrote that I meant the note to Ed to be offline, I meant
offlist, sorry. Was trying to do too many things at once there.
Stacey, it's not a question of requiring subjects' approval. Sometimes
it's important to fight to keep material in Wikpedia, and I've done
it, but in this case, the subject is a private person, entirely
non-notable, in a story that isn't a matter of public interest; so if
it were up to me alone, I'd delete it because it's upsetting him. It's
a question of cost-benefit. In this case, there's a cost to him and no
benefit to us.
