IHC and I got along pretty good I thought. We debated a bunch, would flag each other to different threads. Sometimes we agreed. For the most part we did not. But we interacted quite a bit.
As a long time freeper (much longer than my signup date indicates as I used to have a different name) I knew all about the travails of Eschoir. Long ago I became aware of some of the AFer sites where Eschoir loves to stir things up, with his obsession with bringing FR down. I watched as Eschoir basically seduced Callahan, eventually getting it to the point where Eschoir would suggest "someone should do this over there" and then IHC would go and do it.
Then over the summer (I think), Jim left a thread up for discussion of something relating the AFers, and IHC posts to it, and does some formatting to make his post look exactly like it does when Eschoir posts on one of the AFer sites, including an imbedded image (of a flag, I think), and a quotation from a Beatles song, done in italics. Either IHC was essentially paying homage to our enemy, or quite possibly IHC was just another incarnation of Eschoir. In either case, I realized IHC was not a friend, not an ally, and not someone I would ever defend.
About 3 weeks later, IHC was gone, and I couldn't have cared less.
I know you've been around here for quite awhile. I don't hang out in those Anti FR chat rooms. I guess I live a sheltered life. I never witnessed any of his anti FR brouhaha. I hope IHC comes to his senses soon. Maybe he can apologize and repent. I always enjoyed his enthusiasm, whether I agreed with him or not.
