If that is the truth with the person in question, then your insistence to question the opinion of those, not just mine, that have read most of his bullshit starts to become insignificant. You don't have all the facts, which is fine to be inquisitive and you're asking. But even what you've seen, the level of playing neutral Switzerland, that's your own lack of information. (Which is why you asked, fine.) But he's said enough, which concerns me why you're still on the fence.
It's not my intention to attack you. But now you're coming off as speaking to those that have read most of his bullshit (I read most of BARF, as many do, it's not like I'm trying to make a detective's file against him) and know the fucked up things he says and gets a pass sometimes as 'cultural differences' or whatever in any given thread.
You need to realize, even some of our moderators have issues with his posts that are intolerant and bigoted and say so publicly, not private discussion in the mod think tank.
How about instead of quoting one some of his out-of-touch-with-reality material, I give you a response from someone's opinion you may value more than mine.
