I am surprised it took as long as it did for DP to unholster his sidearm and empty the clip into his foot.
I have a great deal of respect for many of Dan's projects and am personally very appreciative and thankful for the impact and benefits they've had on the hobby of Roman reenactment.
That being said, I deplore much of his personal conduct online with regards his constant belittlement and personal attacks on other reenactors. I myself hold very strong opinions on reenactment philosophies, but I don't have the hubris to believe that my own views are the One True Way for anyone but myself.
I wish him well in his pursuit of the goal of a National Legion, but fear that his penchant for mud-slinging and name calling would be better used in the American electoral process than in building a group of like-minded hobbyissts.
