In Defense of DocQuant ...

[Twirling Time]

I don't think I've gotten into any flame wars here, but I'm pretty sure I might have called deck Whitman a cocksucker once.

I'm not aware of any previous drama with Dr. Quant and would like to remain so.

I hope Dr. Quant is doing better these days.

I'm a firm believer in the First Amendment, people are entitled to their opinions and should be able to voice them.

As I learned in law school, the great Learned Hand said "let the marketplace of ideas" decide what is right and what is wrong.

Why people take this personal forever befuddles me, just let it go.

While IIRC I disagree with many of doctorquant's views, I don't wish him any ill will (or any of the others on this board).

Also: Learned Hand. Almost as great as Cotton Mather and his brother Increase Mather.

I am fine. I have been fine. Has some chin music come my way of late? Yes, of course ... that's how it goes. But I ain't been hit by every pitch.

Now, please ... I appreciate all the good thoughts but y'all need to talk about something else. I'm not remotely that interesting a topic of conversation. Besides, I've got this Oregonian Pinot Noir to drink.

Columbia Crest, or has the paper started selling wine?

Glad to hear you are hanging in there.
Enjoy the wine.

When you become friends with posters on social media and interact over the course of years, this place takes on a different feel.

I originally read this as a Coastal Carolina Elite and the mind boggled.

Um, I'm definitely the right one to come in here at this time and say that THEY AIN'T ELITE.

I've never actually met DQ, but I've had enough interactions with him to bestow Great Dude status upon him on that basis. fork whoever is being an asshole.

Well, now you're going to force me to talk about you, doc.

(Flame wars have been started for less.)
