I don't think franz is a genius, but he is more intelligent than the average poster for sure. I by no means always agreed with him, but he would at least take an interesting position on things, sometimes a very idiosyncratic and unique one. At his best he had a way of telling it like it is that was hilarious. He once reduced the whole of Socrates into, this is from memory, a disturbed man who would fall into long trances and had spirits talking to him, which is all true. The way he put it made me lol.
I had some great conversations with him. We could go on about philosophy and then transition, somehow seamlessly, into telling debauched stories of partying and substance "experimentation," shall we say. Good times.
I missed all the e-drama, but shit happens, especially when people are dealing with drama IRL, that can easily bleed into these forums, as the Professor recently learned. Sorry about that bro, lol
