...and winning pretty hard, which I imagine any educated older guy could do, so it wasn't exactly impressive. It looked more like showing off, like if an average NFL player jumped into a high school football game and knocked everyone around like he was playing pros. I wasn't impressed, and his arguments weren't what I'd call "serious", as in he wasn't there to listen or to find out what was going on, he was just going to hammer away at his points until the students were worn down. I never liked people who were like that, especially with kids.

Other than that I know nothing about the guy. I did google up a page of his quotes, which were posted by a friendly site. A couple were good, a couple were bad, most of the rest were arguable, or just disingenuous. He seems like one of a whole category of people who are so closed-minded they hardly process information at all unless it supports their assumptions, which describes non-serious thinkers who are hardly worth talking to or thinking about.
