I certainly had a lot of disdain for buz's fundamentalism, which I think I've demonstrated a number of times. I didn't much like him and I'm sure he didn't particularly care for me. I've mentioned once or twice that he reminds me of my father, who has been a fundie since the mid 80s. I love my father dearly, but I have no more patience for his close-minded attitudes than I do for buz's.
I think buz might be a fine man; I imagine him to be the type that would do most anything for you, without regard for your religious views or even your sexuality, if he felt that you truly needed his help. That's the type of man my dad is - a good person who just happens to be wrong about almost everything.
So in that spirit I would like to offer my sincere best wishes to buz. I probably won't miss him much, but if my vote counts for anything I would vote to allow him back with full posting rights. He was a harmless old coot, albeit a highly annoying one. As such, he was one of those irritating people who serve to make life more interesting.
