Baditude's presence always kept me in check. I've noticed lately that I've been snippy. Knowing he was reading and could reply would make me humbled. He and I have spoken several times over the phone and you just couldn't have ever met a nicer guy. He was the definition of altruism. I know he'll be back, but I feel ya, OP. Baditude was an ECF monolith, and I am surprised the mods never did anything to promote him to mod staff.
