lol Which part? The disagreeable curmudgeon?
I can\'t believe I made the list and I haven\'t even been here in months. It\'s like making Mr.Blackwells list... for good or ill there\'s no such thing as bad publicity.
As far as who I respect, my list would probably be close to Rev\'s. I was one of those that made an a$$ of myself when I first started posting, and I think Phil probably still doesn\'t like me.
I used to strongly dislike people who were intolerent, until Shawn was good enough to point out to me that that way of thinking would put me on my own list. So now Shawn is probably close to the top of my respect list, wether he likes it or not.

I also got my hand slapped by DR once, but that was a long time ago and I think he (hopefully) has a short memory.
I think the thing people like Rev, Space, Finn, and others of our ilk like about certain other people here at CMON is that we speak our mind, without trying to dance around people\'s feelings too much. Political Correctness is all well and good, but sometimes you just have to tell it like it is.
Even if it does make you sound like a hard-ass jerk.
