No, I consider him to be a destructive wackjob. Instead of convincing others of how important his principles are, its one destructive attack after another upon former friends. So in effect, he alienates more people as the years go by, instead of inspiring them. Sad really.
Maybe they should simply listen.
I feel sorry for Alan. Clearly the man had some capabilities in a previous era. But he has become laughing stock, a clown, really. And he has sort of a sad life, what with the lesbian daughter and his getting burned by Borat and all that. I feel bad for him, b/c he probably doesn’t have a way to even buy the groceries. I mean, what does he do for a living?
He sort of needs to learn to just lie low, love justice and walk humbly with his God rather than hurting our cause by identifying our principles with his increasingly futile activities. Then again...probably no one pays him any attention, so he doesn’t really hurt our cause. But he sure isn’t helping it.
