Comments & Feedback
iarnuocon, when he's at his best, he's like a force of nature, and it's wise to let nature take it's course, and as with a thunderstorm it is a wonder to behold, but not a good time to put up a kite.
Iarnucon's word carries a lot of weight, because it's obvious there is a fine mind searching not for victory in a discussion, but to outline true lay of the land. He always seems to reach the objective truth of matters, and manages not to be distracted from the goal in any argument. A great voice to have around
I always enjoy our discussions, even if we don't end up agreeing. Thus I've tagged you for this 8-things thing that's going around. Feel free to take part or not, your call. I look forward to many more debates either way.
