I'm on pretty friendly terms with him, as he was one of the few liberals that tolerated me, even after I somewhat childishly referred to their movement as "cancer." I'd just sorta look at his account occasionally and he'd defend me even with his other internet friends are talking negatively about me. I'm a lot more tolerant than when I first joined this site, and at no point have I felt he was particularly rude. Sure, I disagree with him on 93.45% of things political, but he seems like a nice enough guy. I've downvoted some but very few of his comments and I don't see why everyone on this stream hates him.
