yup he was / is abrasive a lot. but, what people are doing here is also against the tos. never mind the fact that he can't come and defend himself, so your personal comments attacking him are being said behind his back. he isn't here anymore, why not let the subject die a natural death? I'm sure all know where to go to get into a discussion with his prsence included, why not have the courage to take these comments to where he can see them?
