I can, however, understand where others are coming from regarding his behavior. He can be pretty vitriolic and offensive. However, it seems that in recent weeks he has tried to clean up his act and be a team player, per se. He still gets a few members worked up and can be pretty off the cuff with some of his comments, but the sheer number of his attacks has toned down.
Recently, he has made some pretty valuable contributions to the board as a whole and I think if he can just work out some of the issues he has with a few members and continue to try to take the higher ground in confrontations, we could have a pretty ideal member here.
Just my two Lincolns.
