I used to enjoy occasional visits to the Life forum to see what frothy rage he had created. To be honest, I'm sad and I miss him. The idiots (note the idiots, so that doesn't include you) on this this forum now are no match for the self-righteous certainty about EVERYTHING of the mighty Bell. Bring back the tube/fine debator.

Mm, how come so many people on this board seem to have a problem with that? Some of 'em seem to think that stating an opinion offers holy protection from having to think about it...

He wasn't American though - despite his straining, gravy-stained Stars 'n Stripes pjs.

Personally, I went after him when he refused to address a point or simply say "Yeah, sorry" when it was blatantly obvious he was wrong. Rather than admit an error, it was entertaining to watch an ever expanding web of lies and half-thought logic getting more and more difficult to keep straight.
Which was the point he'd stomp off to the fridge for 2 weeks and pity-binge.
Where is he? Hopefully in Camp X-Ray being squathumped by darky turrists and George W Bush.

Heheheheh. Yeah, that was the root of his unhappyness I think. He seemed to think that whole "I never back down at all" attitude equated to being good at rhetoric and debate.
But sometimes when you read what he said, you'd get the feeling that he was just trying to be as controversial as he possibly could.
I mean, I think he started as a guy with genuinely mislead pride and faith in his nation... and then got all wound up, cracked and became the Anti-Goat.

It\'s ineresting engaging people with very different views to your own. I can kind of see what Light has said in the past about logical/reasoned arguments being good to help people form a new opinion, but not to change an old one.
They certainly seem to have powerful reasoned arguments for their beliefs, ones which I hadn\'t really appreciated before now. I don\'t agree with them all, on close examination, but they\'re compelling nontheless.
I know his \'minority\' views weren\'t really where people had a problem with him, but it was nice having someone around who had such views - if only for a different angle on things.
But his liver was nice.
