Mike with your friend you've got some steamed up here, huh! I hesitate to trespass assuming myself perceptive enough to comment on his character (while others have dived in headfirst, or rather headless or somewhat heedless I'd say. Yes rather insulting to him I can agree). But...since he's ventured into this steamy public place allowing you to post his... I liked what he wrote. He seems to me an honorable guy. ...although, like others have mentioned, I think he swaggers a bit too far picking a rather "two-fisted" challenge standing up against violence and hurtful words and such, and defending his own honor. But why not. Moreover that's simply expression of strong will and a noble attitude as he describes it, and I take it as sincere. So I believe he's beyond reproach really in announcing his antagonism against those evils. But others react wanting to swipe a bit at his strong character, swipe back at his righteous challenge, but he sounds as though he probably can respond well to all this. Well, I've been occasionally wrong in the past about guys and gurus being noble and honorable, and I've also foolishly stumbled blindly into fights I thought honorable. Anyway I thought it an excellent and intelligent summary he wrote of the sources, the times, the culture and mental ambiances of those days, and forthcoming of his own experiences and present attitude. Maybe one of the best I've read of anything like that, in his post #2. ...certainly coinciding and resonating with me from memory in '72 at least, and times onward.
