Thus, we've had quotes from people as diverse as Jack Chick, Ted Kaczynski, C. S. Lewis, and G.K. Chesterton.

We've had stupid quotes in the quotes thread from all sorts of smart, dumb, misguided, insane, and perceptive people. Do you mean to say that LW has collectively upvoted quotes from those people?

That's a good point. But yes, we have collectively upvoted such quotes:

Jack Chick quote upvoted to +19.

G. K. Chesterton quote upvoted +14. (There is possible bias since the person who gave the quote was Eliezer.)

C.S Lewis quote upvoted to +18.

Ted Kaczynski quote upvoted to +8.

For that matter we've also had a quote from the Time Cube Guy voted up to +10.
