We could go at it hammer and tongue on the forums and shake hands in pm. I couldn't help but respect him regardless of our differing views.

I agree and in fact I think comparing ol' Kirk to the bile that's been spewed on here since he left is actually quite offensive to him, being honest. He got a little heated a times but his posts were well thought out and logical, and he had a sense of humour.

So no you can't compare Kirk to the more recent "SD's right wing". It's like comparing a grumpy right-leaning University professor to... err... I don't know. Someone spinning in circles just.. flailing their arms and gnashing their teeth... and spitting racist vomit everywhere... and screeching a terrible screech that curdles the blood and sucks the testicles right up into the abdomen. No offense liek.
