Les, I appreciate you have your problems with LI, but I think some other people are too quick to get on his back. When I first posted on this site, he came across as patronising and impossible to get on with. Now, I think that's totally unfair looking back at it. If there is a decent issue to be discussed on here, there is noone I would rather have it out with than LI. His opinion is often different, but I appreciate the concise arguments he puts forward, which even if I don't agree with I can see his thinking behind. Anyone (with the exception of Les, where it has gone a bit further) who has a problem with this guy I would say is more at fault than he is. Let's be honest, LI is quite an articulate chap. I am a student journalist, so I am happy to go into a deep debate with him and like to think I give as good as I get. Maybe some others just can't be bothered to put the effort into a serious discussion? Just because he doesn't revel in some of the shit posted on here (which admittedly, I do on occasions), doesn't mean he "doesn't have a sense of humour." As I said, it took me a while to realise that he is actually a decent bloke with an honest opinion he is willing to share and discuss - I think a few other people would benefit from giving the time to find that out too, rather than jumping on his words for what they first seem.
He's a self-righteous know-it-all. Using words like post-modernist does not make him clever just pretentious.
