> [@asahi](#): > > Bricker’s not a troll. He’s a thinking man’s conservative, which is rare these days. Not every seemingly ‘out there’ question is a troll job. I saw the Gettysburg question as an extension of the other threads that were popping up in response to monuments. Sorry, but you can’t just benefit from the man’s genius in some threads and call him a troll without solid evidence in others just because he challenges you and posts questions or opinions you don’t like. Agree. (though I wouldn’t have said genius) ---

> [@asahi](#): > > Bricker’s not a troll. He’s a thinking man’s conservative, which is rare these days.… I have my doubts about his intellectual range. He is a well trained and well versed lawyer (fwtw) but his mental processes seem largely rigid and constrained. He is more of a skilled technician than a really smart guy. And, of course, I got a hair up my ass when he grabbed a strand of a thread I started and totally derailed it into the subject he wanted to argue about. As an asshole, he is brilliant at that. ---
