Zeta was neither arbitrary nor an idiot. And this is coming from someone who had a number of disagreements with him. He is missed.
Yeah, first time I became aware of him he was chewing me out, calling me a pathetic brown-noser and told me to get a life. I still don't think he's ever said two nice words to me. ANYWAY, he's smart as shit, well read, argues politics well, and basically nails it whenever he posts around here. The only thing he needs is a sense of humor.
