I never met Derek in person but I read most of his posts and took part in online discussions with him. He was always thoughtful and respectful of others while making his point well. I think I would have enjoyed meeting and speaking with him and I know he will be missed here. RIP Derek, I hope the roads are twisty and smooth where you are.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
