I agree, I checked past posts and doesn’t seem like a troll to me but may be trying to use FR to increase hits for his own articles but he’s definitely on our side, so that’s not a troll imo.
the author does not care about hits. no one knows his hits, even he does not care. he cares about conservative interpretation of reality. that’s it. if one does not get that from his half century of authoring, then it is not his fault.
