If someone is willing to die for a message, we as humans should at least examine that message, for it may portend great good or great evil.
I feel like we as humans have advanced to the point where the majority of people regardless of creed have examined the message of the Islamic martyrs, and outside of that circle have generally rejected the idea of dying for religion. However this situation is completely different, and martyrs or self-styled martyrs are still powerful beacons to the message they die for. Whether or not Joe Stack's message is valid, it's ridiculous to dismiss it out of hand because of how he decided to get his message out.
