I remember a time on ATS whilst he was a mod...
We were having a discussion about mental health issues and possible gun control, he was very strongly in favour of his 2nd amendment and I thought if a Doctor raised issues, then a person could or should have their firearms taken for a period, till given the ok. I thought this could reduce mass shooting incidents.
We disagreed, and argued about the pros' and cons' for a good while.
After, I noticed I'd received an 'applause' from him. I sent him a private message asking what it was for, and he replied that he'd enjoyed our debate and that I'd been a gentleman during it even if we disagreed.
That message really made me smile, and he'd shown that people can disagree and still show respect for each others opinions.
It moved me and I'll never forget that.
