It is not my job to defend GF, but as I have stated before I have met him. I guess I am the only forum member who has although at least one has emailed with him over the years. I am sure everyone has noticed that although I include him when I refer to the 3 stooges I hold him in high regard as a person. He intellectually honest and I enjoyed our conversations. I disagree with almost all of his political views and will post opposing views in direct confrontation to him at times, but i am sure most have noticed I withhold the vitriol that I use when addressing the other two. Since the election took he has been magnanimous and I think sincere is his desire to see Trump succeed in his stated goals of moving the country forward, even though I am sure GF thinks the way to achieve those goals would be down a different path.  But in the end I know he wants the same things as the rest of us, peace and prosperity for our nation and to leave the world a better place for our children and grandchildren.

He posts inflammatory statements from time to time but so do I and others. He has stated that his belief is that the forum, or any conversation for that matter, quickly becomes boring if everyone agrees about everything. He has a sense of humor and I have not seen him take the many insults hurled his personally. He just responds and moves on. I will continue to disagree with him at times on issues and will say so when I do. I post this because I find D it refreshing to have an intellectually honest Democrat to debate with because they are so few and far between. Now I just wish he could drag those other two out of their safe spaces so I could have fun insulting them.... Lol.
