The particular person holds strong opinions, doesn't change his mind often, and tends to forget that he has been talking to you in friendly discussions for years and then if you disagree with him once or twice, his acid tongue comes out, and lashes you to pieces. A bit of slow friend, fast foe. He is a very good photographer though (just wish he will post more photos) and when he is right, he is right, it's just that he's right less often than he thinks :-) But we all have our flaws, so cheer up and I look forward to your underwater pictures soon. Quite a difference from the dry desert there!
