I am currently reviewing Phil Nelson's awful "LBJ: Mastermind" book.
Despite all of this sad stuff I am proud to include one of CD's best moments. This was his working in tandem with Jim DiEugenio (but mostly by himself) destroying Boner, Fetzer and Nelson. It is not often Jan makes a comment about a thread... and his comments were great. It really was an informative and fun spectacle. While CD squared off with Fetz, Jim took on Nelson. It was a bloodbath, and it signalled the end of Fetzer on this Forum. I have laughed my ass off at CD's wit and wisdom. I have also been on the end of his sometimes misplaced lashings, but I don't complain as I gave as good as I got (he is a far better writer however). He also had my back more than a few times. I have said it before to Magda, but anyone who has a problem with her, Dave, or Jan is really troubled.
It was so bloody hard to promote the greatness of this forum with CD, on the loose. Near the end he was like a beserker with a red mist going for anything and everyone. I hope he's okay, I am going to remember him for the brave, talented, funny as hell, guy he could be. I wish Greg all the best as well, he was fantastic with "Cinque the fink." I sort of got to know him, and he has a lot of integrity. Though he and I didn't see everything eye to eye! I think their epic battles with the Fetzer clones will echo through eternity. That is what I'll remember them for. I cannot help but feel things unravelled for them both when Fetzer got rumbled.
