I very much like and admire Mod 80 as well. That is not to say that I agree with all of his judgements.
It seems that the jury is still out on MR, and I am shocked. Anyone with forum experience would out him as a troll in an instant. Only a quality troll would be able to stir up a debate about himself. As I said before, it is to the credit of many of those here that the standards for quality trolling on this site are much much lower than I am used to.
