The fact that he still gets into some OODA loops speaks volumes.
I frankly wanted to meet him, so I did. There have been a number of provocateurs since I started posting here, but none with the ability to keep me interested...Pat made me do homework before I replied to his fusillades. He was never boring, which, troll or not, is a gift.
I hope we will continue to do the yearly Steeplechase meet and greet. It is now less about him than his wonderful wife, Linda.
