re: #1141 avanti

Racer, no need to apologize again, many were and are angry about my politics and I understood the lapses of decorum. I am naive enough to believe we can stay civil, no matter the strength of opinions. I’m honestly disappointed with Ludwig, and wish he would step back a bit. I think he has his science right, but needs to control the tenor of his presentation. Walter and me have had more then a few little baiting sessions but and forth, but I hope we still respect each other.

I will gloat in the fact that I loved avanti from the moment I clicked on his avatar. I was new and didn’t know he was the local pariah at the time and we got along well. I even defended him and got a few burn marks to show for it. It just took some time for people to come around. All’s well that end’s well.
