David,
I'm with you.
I don't read Romy's posts for anything other than entertainment. I'll never put together a system that will appeal to anyone but me (and possibly a few others) anyway. He's insulting, incendiary, blasphemous...you name it, he's done it, and enraged many along the way.
But I always thought that by the very fact he was posting such outrage, whether I agreed or not, liked it or not, we had a forum with a fairly tolerant, freewheeling attitude to allow it to happen. That's great, and badly needed these days. Credit to Rod.
Hell, that's freedom in my book, and the right way to go about things. Always the blowback, however.
Still, many times I laughed out loud at the sheer velocity and volume of the shitstorm he could stir up.
Tim
