In reply to the discussion: A tip of the hat to DU's The Magistrate. [View all]Violet_Crumble
(35,955 posts)145. Now, this is one tipping of the hat thread I can agree with!
The Magistrate and I go way back to the dinosaur days of DU1. I'm a volatile and sometimes slow learner, but he taught me something when he gave me some home truths back at DU2 about the way I'd been behaving, and he was right about it and I learnt from it. I don't always agree with him on some issues, but I can forgive that in someone who has the knowledge of Middle East history that he's got. Plus he's a genuinely great person.
