walker: realo is quite an entertaining character. he doesn't know as much as he thinks he does, and he can be overbearing, but i really like reading his board posts because i can tell that he cares a lot about things. even if he's completely wrong, he'll defend his position with utter conviction. much more interesting to observe than the 'too old/cool to care' mindset that has become increasingly commonplace on the board in the past few years. basically, he's fun to talk to and watch arguing but frustrating to argue with yourself (or at least that's the impression i get - i don't attempt to argue with him for precisely this reason)
