The Indianasmith Appreciation Thread

[Mofo Rising]

From the interactions I've had with indianasmith on the board, I'm pretty sure we almost have antithetical views on very, very many things. Not in a combative sense, we just have a different viewpoint on the world. I disagree with most of his politics. I'm also almost completely irreligious, whereas indianasmith is a steadfast Christian.

However, I admire indianasmith. I may disagree with him, but he's not stupid. He's smart as a whip and ready to defend his beliefs.

He's also our resident historian. We share a fascination with American history, and I know if I want to talk about anybody about abstruse topics that I don't think anybody would care about, indy is right there with insightful commentary. Who else wants to argue about the role Alexander Hamilton had in the creation of the American Republic?

More importantly, indianasmith is just a good person. I can argue with his viewpoints for pages, but I never forget that there is an actual decent person behind all that rhetoric.

I hope that comes across, indy. I often sound like an ass because I am an ass. But it's great to talk to somebody who actually knows what he's talking about.

Indy is the man who was / is rash enough to invite me on a fossil - arrowhead hunt if I was ever in his neck of the woods. Wonder what I would dig up? He is the man. 

[RCMerchant]

Me and Indy are polar opposites.
But  I love him! Hes a good man. I wish I could be so good.
Yer a good man Indy.
Love ya.

I disagree with 99.9% of everything he posts, but he is a lovely guy at heart, very smart and a good family man.

I still think he's a bonehead.

Indianasmith has always struck me as passionate, smart and kind. As others have said, I don't always agree politically, but it doesn't lessen my liking of the man. Also, he too enjoys Dave Barry!!! How cool is that?!?! Keep it up!

Indy is a true Texas gentleman.

Oh all right Indy, I'll appreciate you again  

I really really appreciate you man, you're a great guy.    Like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day;  like the look on my kid's faces when I give them money.

I appreciate Indy most when he has a hole in his head...err...hat!...hat!

I appreciate Indy most when he writes about  faith  and  fidelity. 

What I meant by that is that Indy, despite us disagreeing on several subjects, is always good to talk to. He's good people, and that much is glaringly obvious to anybody to pays even the slightest attention.

Joking aside, I would like to thank everyone for the nice things said.  After a stressful day, I know I can come here and relax.  You guys are awesome!

Of course.

It's always nice to have someone on a forum who shares your religious beliefs.
