"Let's forget T bombs. They are even funny at times. And besides he is right sometimes.Fernando" Thus spake my friend Fernando Villegas. And I agree with him. Why? Because, apart from some temperamental outbursts and singleminded stubborness (which could easily be the hallmark of all creative minders, as opposed to limited minders -- in the words of Karl Popper...), Thorsten Czub has been one of the most active and productive people on this forum. Hadn't it been for him, act he as he may, we wouldn't have been engaged in very many fruitful exchanges and, finally, our knowledge about this bizarre, solitary and outlandish area would definitely have been lesser than it is now. Things are not always so black-and-white: ban X, ban Y, ban Z... There are fuzzy edges around statements, ideas, definitions of people. Let's not forget that each one of us has his moments of lucidity which very often fall on deaf ears or, even, provoke hostile reactions in others. Lucidity, though laden with fuzzy edges and oftentimes incomprehensible, is a prerequisite for creativity, just look into the history of mankind. Thorsten is a little bit more temperamental for my taste too, but definitely not someone we should ban. I have learneda lot from him , hopefully others have too. Djordje
