I'm not sure Claremont ever loved him. He essentially wrote him out of the book. He claims it was time for Scott to get on to the next phase in his life. Funny it was never that time for Wolverine or Storm because, frankly, I think he liked their characters more. Doesn't mean he disliked Scott. I just didn't feel necessarily among his favorites.
Again, this guy wrote some of the best Cyclops stories ever. Even now, I can't forget that. Just like he apparently can't get past what happened in X FACTOR 30 years ago. I can empathize, though, because I can't get past what happened after SCott came back in 2001.
