OK, time for a recap. Wayne is going to go live on an island, where he
has announced that he intends to smoke, drink and eat peanut butter in
peace. And that you are not invited.

And if I understand you correctly, you intend to follow him there and
die (presumably from a food allergy), and it's somehow his fault and
your heirs will sue him until he can barely afford to live in a box
somewhere.

And lastly, "I understand my allergies are my problem."

Have I misstated anything?
