I'll second that I do miss Louis. He had a great writing style, presented his arguments really well, and wasn't afraid to say something pretty out-there. Indeed, I'm pretty sure a lot of the time he wasn't being serious. I get the feeling that he was one of those guys that might have a controversial/unacceptable thought niggling him, and then present it in the most outrageous manner possible, so that he could play it off as not being serious, while at the same time gauging our reactions to what he said.

Banquo and Adrian were probably too sensible for me to pay much attention to them. I'm a passionate guy and I come from the adhd generation, I just can't get motivated to read long posts on the finer details of economic or foreign policy.

Did you feel all alone dealing with all the ignorant, wing-nut, racist, mysoginist bile from Vuk and myself?

I know acin and cent are around but they sit on the fence too much, and PJ has gotten all moderate and boring these days.
