102. The Magistrate has been a dear and valued friend since my earliest days here.

I can truly say that I love him unconditionally.

I am instantly cheered whenever I see a post by him, whatever the topic, whatever he has to say. His incisive intelligence and dry wit are invaluable, and DU would be a much poorer place without him. Behind the persona there is an honest heart of great compassion and tireless commitment to integrity and truth.

to The Magistrate!
