Good post! I always liked him because he was pretty even keeled and what a fantastic writer! Also, I never assumed he was anything other than misguided.
Furthermore, I always deleted any personal information about him that anyone told me about. As I recall his name was unusual enough that I didn't realize it was his name until someone brought it to my attention.
I always thought the docta was too hard on him, but he was mercilessly attacked by so many for quite awhile that I think it pushed him over the edge - which is semi-understandable - except for going after BBB as relentlessly as he did.
It's like anything else. You get tired of something after awhile. In this case, the docta was tired of being right and BBB was tired of being wrong. At least that's my opinion.
