6. I always appreciate his dignity, class, and politeness...
And, whether or not I agree with what he's saying, I usually go away from his posts feeling as though I have learned something.

Kudos to him, and to the OP for recognizing him.

Particularly you, Mr. Jeff, for the kind thought, and Mr. Scurrilous, an old stalwart of "Team Palestine" who has crossed words with me many times in the past.

I appreciate all your kind words very much.

21. While shouting may be impolite, in this instance it is fully warranted,
and so may perhaps be forgiven.

We love you, kind Sir!

48. He also cooks and helps around the house!
I have never known a more incisive, tough-minded cynic who is as kind and gracious, not to mention wickedly funny, as The Magistrate.

DU is lucky to have him. Because if it was left up to me, I'd keep him all to myself.
