So, although I disagreed strongly with some of his leanings in that regard, and disagreed fundamentally ... he did aupport a number of other good causes in his posts and was generally fairly easy to talk to and discuss things with. Surpisingly, despite the willingness to violate others rights relating to the trees, he was way down on the much more militant activists in that regard. In addition, he was fairly supportive of the farmers at Klamath as I recollect.
Just my impressions.
You are correct and your memory serves you well.
