I had the privilege of spending a whole day with this man years ago - now sadly no longer with us.  A kinder, bigger spirit you won't find.

Perhaps people are sick of some pretentious bugger who fills almost every sentence he writes with condescension and pretentiousness.

Those who wanted to view it did, and those who didn't don't need to be talked down upon by you.

I'm sorry... I only speak english. When you have something that even closely resembles the english language - keep it to yourself.

I haven't watched the whole thing, but he's just telling stories.  Interesting enough, but it's just stories.
