I miss spanking his dishonest, bloviating ass. No one could run away better.
But I'll reveal that he is on my friends list here and that we had very respectful, personal and amicable exchanges on PM. He'd be the first to tell you that stirring the pot was his intention....not providing factual info or cogent arguments.
His fans were duped into believing he was sincere about the shit he shoveled. He wasn't. He just enjoyed pushing people's buttons. He didn't have to tell me that. It was underscored every time he started a thread, ran from it and laughed at anyone who he could get angry....on either side.
