Update: Has Wiseguy19 left? Again, I'm very disheartened to hear that. It's depressing. Politically, Wiseguy and I probably agreed on nothing, but he was funny, smart, and actually a very nice guy. As with the others who have left (all of whom I liked and respected), I hope he reconsiders and returns. He will certainly be missed. If he decides that returning is not something he wants to do, I wish him all the best.
Wiseguy and I don't generally agree on political issues, but he's smart, and funny, and often quite insightful. I have friends like him; we don't often agree on a lot, but we're able to share a few beers, and engage in invigorating conversation without it ever becoming caustic or personally abusive. And sometimes we can even find something to agree about-- whether it's a movie, or a band, or a particular restaurant. To be honest, there are conservative reviewers on this website who, in my opinion, are way too predictable. Wiseguy is never predictable and never boring.
