I have to say that Sam was one of my favorite characters. Sam was underappreciated, but he really had a great deal to offer. He always seemed to ask all the right questions, and even if they seemed mundane initially, we'd know how important they were in the end. Sam was very passionate in his views and would press them in spite of anyone's contradictions. And when he really let forth his wrath, he had the ferocity of a troll! That's what I love about Sam.
The joke is that I said that in the Middle Earth thread. So he wears my quote like a badge of honor, and I do the same of him.
But wow, he sounds like a bigger jerk than I'd realized. If he'd simply stop trying to aggravate people and simply have a human discussion, he'd find that he wouldn't have burned so many bridges. Now no one wants to deal with him or even give him a second (12th?) chance.
