Steve, I just saw this after stumbling on this resurrected thread. Thanks for putting it up. I PMed AD quite regularly for some period in there before 2008.
While I couldn't really disagree with what he promoted, his dogmatism was what we disagreed on but that was minor in the scheme of things. He certainly had a passion that his words communicated clearly.
What was prima facie with him to me later after getting past the niceties was his faith in Jesus Christ as his savior.
