He was a very well educated and rather elegant man-- not a hard RW conservative by any means, but I just couldn't get past what I believed was his bamboozlement with Gardner's lies. I couldn't then and I can't now.

While our discussions were "technically" civil, they were pretty adamant and our friendship was never the same. Sadly he died not long afterward. When I look at Gardner, it is with a mixture of anger, unwanted validation, and loss.
