Agreed. I think I've been very clear in the three threads on the man that I admire and respect him. I was laughing at someone's comment wherein he pointed out that Hackathorn harshly criticized .380 but (it appeared at the time) he trusted the 9mm. In actuality, however, he was being critical of the types of handguns .380 is typically chambered in. Stating that a man, who clearly refers to himself as getting quite old (and admittedly having difficulty with .45 ACP as a result), is exactly that, is no disrespect, yet this was twisted into a statement of disrespect.
